EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (“Amendment No. 1”) amends our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“Original Filing”), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2022 (“Original Filing Date”). The sole purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to include the information required by Items 10 through 14 of Part III of Form 10-K. This information was previously omitted from the Original Filing in reliance on General Instruction G(3) to Form 10-K, which permits the information in the above referenced items to be incorporated in the Form 10-K by reference from our definitive proxy statement if such statement is filed no later than 120 days after our fiscal year-end. We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to include Part III information in our Form 10-K because we will not file a definitive proxy statement containing such information within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year covered by the Original Filing. The reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference to portions of our definitive proxy statement into Part III of the Original Filing is hereby deleted.

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), Part III, Items 10 through 14 and Part IV, Item 15 of the Original Filing are hereby amended and restated in their entirety.

Accordingly, this Amendment No. 1 should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing. In addition, this Amendment No. 1 does not reflect events that may have occurred subsequent to the Original Filing Date.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, this Amendment No. 1 also contains new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which are attached hereto. Because no financial statements are included in this Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 1 does not contain or amend any disclosure with respect to Items 307 and 308 of Regulation S-K, paragraphs 3, 4, and 5 of the certifications have been omitted.

Unless otherwise indicated, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “Company” mean 1847 Goedeker Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to “fiscal” mean the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Along with his brother, Elie Fouerti, they developed a process of delivering bulky items across the United States. The board of directors believes that Mr. Fouerti is qualified to serve as a member of the board of directors because of his extensive experience building and leading the Appliances Connection business from its founding and his insight into the Company’s industry and business as Appliances Connection’s co-founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Corporate Governance

Governance Structure

We chose to appoint a separate Chairman of the Board of Directors who is not our Chief Executive Officer. Our board of directors has made this decision based on their belief that a separate Chairman of the Board of Directors can act as a balance to the Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as a non-independent director.

The Board of Directors’ Role in Risk Oversight

The board of directors oversees that the assets of our company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that our business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the board of directors’ oversight of the various risks facing our company. In this regard, our board of directors seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. Our board of directors does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of our business strategy. Our board of directors recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for our company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.

While the board of directors oversees risk management, company management is charged with managing risk. Management communicates routinely with the board of directors and individual directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.

Our board of directors administers its risk oversight function as a whole by making risk oversight a matter of collective consideration. Much of this work has been delegated to committees, which will meet regularly and report back to the full board of directors. The audit committee oversees risks related to our consolidated financial statements, the financial reporting process, accounting and legal matters, the compensation committee evaluates the risks and rewards associated with our compensation philosophy and programs, and the nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates risk associated with management decisions and strategic direction.

Independent Directors

The rules of NYSE American generally require that a majority of an issuer’s board of directors must consist of independent directors. Our board of directors currently consists of nine (9) directors, six (6) of whom, Ellette A. Anderson, Clark R. Crosnoe, Glyn C. Milburn, James M. Schneider, G. Alan Shaw and Alan P. Shor, are independent within the meaning of the rules of NYSE American.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation and nominating and corporate governance committee, each with its own charter approved by the board of directors. Each committee’s charter is available on our website at www.goedekers.com.

In addition, our board of directors may, from time to time, designate one or more additional committees, which shall have the duties and powers granted to it by our board of directors.

Audit Committee

Clark R. Crosnoe, Glyn C. Milburn, James M. Schneider and G. Alan Shaw, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the rules of NYSE American, serve on our audit committee, with Mr. Crosnoe serving as the chairman. Our board of directors has determined that Messrs. Crosnoe and Schneider qualify as “audit committee financial experts.” The audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the consolidated financial statements of our company.

The audit committee is responsible for oversight of, among other things: (i) the integrity of our consolidated financial statements and financial reporting process and systems of internal accounting and financial controls; (ii) the performance of the internal audit services function; (iii) the annual independent audit of our consolidated financial statements; (iv) the engagement of the independent auditors, including the pre-approval any audit and/or permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditors, and the evaluation of the independent auditors’ qualifications, independence and performance; (v) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, including our disclosure of controls and procedures; (vi) the evaluation of enterprise risk issues; and (vii) reviewing and assessing annually the audit committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.

5

Compensation Committee

Alan P. Shor, Clark R. Crosnoe and Ellette A. Anderson, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the rules of NYSE American, serve on our compensation committee, with Mr. Shor serving as the chairman. The members of the compensation committee are also “outside directors” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The compensation committee assists the board of directors in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers.

The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) reviewing and approving the compensation of our executive officers; (ii) evaluating and making recommendations to the board of directors regarding the compensation of our directors; (iii) evaluating and making recommendations to the board of directors regarding equity-based and incentive-compensation plans, policies and programs that are subject to our board of directors’ approval; and (iv) reviewing and assessing annually the compensation committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Ellette A. Anderson, G. Alan Shaw and Glyn C. Milburn, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the rules of NYSE American, serve on our nominating and corporate governance committee, with Mr. Milburn serving as the chairman. The nominating and corporate governance committee assists the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board of directors and its committees.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things: (i) identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become members of the board of directors by reviewing nominees for election to the board of directors submitted by stockholders and recommending to the board director nominees for each annual meeting of stockholders and for election to fill any vacancies on the board; (ii) advising the board of directors with respect to board organization, desired qualifications of board members, the membership, function, operation, structure and composition of committees (including any committee authority to delegate to subcommittees), and self-evaluation and policies; (iii) advising on matters relating to corporate governance and monitoring developments in the law and practice of corporate governance; (iv) overseeing compliance with our code of ethics; and (v) approving any related party transactions.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will seek to identify potential director candidates who will strengthen the board of directors, including by establishing procedures for soliciting and reviewing potential nominees from directors and stockholders (as discussed below) and for notifying those who suggest nominees of the outcome of such review. The nominating and corporate governance committee shall have sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm to be used to identify director candidates, including sole authority to approve any such search firm’s fees and other terms of retention.

In making director recommendations, the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider some or all of the following factors: (i) the candidate’s judgment, skill, experience with other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size, and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (ii) the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other members of the board of directors; (iii) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the board of directors and any committee thereof; (iv) whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence; and (v) the candidate’s ability to contribute to the effective management of our company, taking into account the needs of our company and such factors as the individual’s experience, perspective, skills and knowledge of the industry in which we operate.

6

A stockholder may nominate one or more persons for election as a director at an annual meeting of stockholders if the stockholder complies with the notice and information provisions contained in our bylaws. Such notice must be in writing to the secretary of our company not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders or as otherwise required by requirements of the Exchange Act. In addition, stockholders furnishing such notice must be a holder of record on both (i) the date of delivering such notice and (ii) the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Such code of ethics addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, rules, regulations and policies, including full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosures in reports required under the federal securities laws, and reporting of violations of the code.

We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our website as a method of disseminating this disclosure, as permitted by applicable SEC rules. Any such disclosure will be posted to our website, www.goedekers.com, within four (4) business days following the date of any such amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics.

Insider Trading Policy

We maintain an insider trading policy that prohibits trading our common shares when in possession of material non-public information. It also prohibits directors, officers and other employees from engaging in hedging transactions and, unless approved in advance by our Chief Financial Officer (or such other individual designated by the board of directors), holding our securities in a margin account or otherwise pledging our shares as collateral for a loan. Since the adoption of our insider trading policy, we have granted one waiver to the policy’s general prohibition on pledging. See “Item 12— Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”.

We currently make available a retirement plan intended to provide benefits under Section 401(k) of the Code, pursuant to which employees, including the executive officers named above, can make voluntary pre-tax contributions. We currently match 100% of elective deferrals up to 3% of compensation and 50% of elective deferrals for next 2% of compensation. All contributions under the plan are subject to certain annual dollar limitations, which are periodically adjusted for changes in the cost of living.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

On July 30, 2020, we established the 1847 Goedeker Inc. 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to grant restricted stock, stock options and other forms of incentive compensation to our officers, employees, directors and consultants.

The following summary briefly describes the principal features of the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan.

Awards that may be granted include: (a) incentive stock options, (b) non-qualified stock options, (c) stock appreciation rights, (d) restricted awards, (e) performance share awards, and (f) performance compensation awards. These awards offer our officers, employees, consultants and directors the possibility of future value, depending on the long-term price appreciation of our common stock and the award holder’s continuing service with our company.

Stock options give the option holder the right to acquire from us a designated number of shares of common stock at a purchase price that is fixed upon the grant of the option. The exercise price will not be less than the market price of the common stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted may be either tax-qualified stock options (so-called “incentive stock options”) or non-qualified stock options.

Stock appreciation rights, or SARs, which may be granted alone or in tandem with options, have an economic value similar to that of options. When a SAR for a particular number of shares is exercised, the holder receives a payment equal to the difference between the market price of the shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the shares under the SAR. Again, the exercise price for SARs normally is the market price of the shares on the date the SAR is granted. Under the Plan, holders of SARs may receive this payment – the appreciation value – either in cash or shares of common stock valued at the fair market value on the date of exercise. The form of payment will be determined by us.

Restricted shares are shares of common stock awarded to participants at no cost. Restricted shares can take the form of awards of restricted stock, which represent issued and outstanding shares of our common stock subject to vesting criteria, or restricted stock units, which represent the right to receive shares of our common stock subject to satisfaction of the vesting criteria. Restricted shares are forfeitable and non-transferable until the shares vest. The vesting date or dates and other conditions for vesting are established when the shares are awarded.

12

The Plan also provides for performance compensation awards, representing the right to receive a payment, which may be in the form of cash, shares of common stock, or a combination, based on the attainment of pre-established goals.

All of the permissible types of awards under the Plan are described in more detail as follows:

Purposes of Plan: The purposes of the Plan are to attract and retain officers, employees and directors for our company and its subsidiaries; motivate them by means of appropriate incentives to achieve long-range goals; provide incentive compensation opportunities; and further align their interests with those of our stockholders through compensation that is based on our common stock.

Administration of the Plan: The Plan is administered by our compensation committee (which we refer to as the administrator). Among other things, the administrator has the authority to select persons who will receive awards, determine the types of awards and the number of shares to be covered by awards, and to establish the terms, conditions, performance criteria, restrictions and other provisions of awards. The administrator has authority to establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan.

Eligible Recipients: Persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan will be those officers, employees, consultants, and directors of our company and its subsidiaries who are selected by the administrator.

Shares Available Under the Plan: The maximum number of shares of our common stock that may be delivered to participants under the Plan is 1,000,000 (subject to stockholder approval of such increase), subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes affecting the shares, such as stock splits. Shares subject to an award under the Plan for which the award is canceled, forfeited or expires again become available for grants under the Plan. Shares subject to an award that is settled in cash will not again be made available for grants under the Plan.

Stock Options:

General. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the administrator has the authority to determine all grants of stock options. That determination will include: (i) the number of shares subject to any option; (ii) the exercise price per share; (iii) the expiration date of the option; (iv) the manner, time and date of permitted exercise; (v) other restrictions, if any, on the option or the shares underlying the option; and (vi) any other terms and conditions as the administrator may determine.

Option Price. The exercise price for stock options will be determined at the time of grant. Normally, the exercise price will not be less than the fair market value on the date of grant. As a matter of tax law, the exercise price for any incentive stock option awarded may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. However, incentive stock option grants to any person owning more than 10% of our voting stock must have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value on the grant date.

Exercise of Options. An option may be exercised only in accordance with the terms and conditions for the option agreement as established by the administrator at the time of the grant. The option must be exercised by notice to us, accompanied by payment of the exercise price. Payments may be made in cash or, at the option of the administrator, by actual or constructive delivery of shares of common stock to the holder of the option based upon the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise.

Expiration or Termination. Options, if not previously exercised, will expire on the expiration date established by the administrator at the time of grant. In the case of incentive stock options, such term cannot exceed ten years provided that in the case of holders of more than 10% of our voting stock, such term cannot exceed five years. Options will terminate before their expiration date if the holder’s service with our company or a subsidiary terminates before the expiration date. The option may remain exercisable for specified periods after certain terminations of employment, including terminations as a result of death, disability or retirement, with the precise period during which the option may be exercised to be established by the administrator and reflected in the grant evidencing the award.

Incentive and Non-Qualified Options. As described elsewhere in this summary, an incentive stock option is an option that is intended to qualify under certain provisions of the Code, for more favorable tax treatment than applies to non-qualified stock options. Any option that does not qualify as an incentive stock option will be a non-qualified stock option. Under the Code, certain restrictions apply to incentive stock options. For example, the exercise price for incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the grant date and the term of the option may not exceed ten years. In addition, an incentive stock option may not be transferred, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable during the holder’s lifetime only by the holder. In addition, no incentive stock options may be granted to a holder that is first exercisable in a single year if that option, together with all incentive stock options previously granted to the holder that also first become exercisable in that year, relate to shares having an aggregate fair market value in excess of $100,000, measured at the grant date.

13

Stock Appreciation Rights: Awards of SARs may be granted alone or in tandem with stock options. SARs provide the holder with the right, upon exercise, to receive a payment, in cash or shares of stock, having a value equal to the excess of the fair market value on the exercise date of the shares covered by the award over the exercise price of those shares. Essentially, a holder of a SAR benefits when the market price of the common stock increases, to the same extent that the holder of an option does, but, unlike an option holder, the SAR holder need not pay an exercise price upon exercise of the award.

Stock Awards: Stock awards can also be granted under the Plan. A stock award is a grant of shares of common stock or of a right to receive shares in the future. These awards will be subject to such conditions, restrictions and contingencies as the administrator shall determine at the date of grant. Those may include requirements for continuous service and/or the achievement of specified performance goals.

Cash Awards: A cash award is an award that may be in the form of cash or shares of common stock or a combination, based on the attainment of pre-established performance goals and other conditions, restrictions and contingencies identified by the administrator.

Performance Criteria: Under the Plan, one or more performance criteria will be used by the administrator in establishing performance goals. Any one or more of the performance criteria may be used on an absolute or relative basis to measure the performance of our company, as the administrator may deem appropriate, or as compared to the performance of a group of comparable companies, or published or special index that the administrator deems appropriate. In determining the actual size of an individual performance compensation award, the administrator may reduce or eliminate the amount of the award through the use of negative discretion if, in its sole judgment, such reduction or elimination is appropriate. The administrator shall not have the discretion to (i) grant or provide payment in respect of performance compensation awards if the performance goals have not been attained or (ii) increase a performance compensation award above the maximum amount payable under the Plan.

Other Material Provisions: Awards will be evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as may be approved by the administrator. In the event of various changes to the capitalization of our company, such as stock splits, stock dividends and similar re-capitalizations, an appropriate adjustment will be made by the administrator to the number of shares covered by outstanding awards or to the exercise price of such awards. The administrator is also permitted to include in the written agreement provisions that provide for certain changes in the award in the event of a change of control of our company, including acceleration of vesting. Except as otherwise determined by the administrator at the date of grant, awards will not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Prior to any award distribution, we are permitted to deduct or withhold amounts sufficient to satisfy any employee withholding tax requirements. Our board also has the authority, at any time, to discontinue the granting of awards. The board also has the authority to alter or amend the Plan or any outstanding award or may terminate the Plan as to further grants, provided that no amendment will, without the approval of our stockholders, to the extent that such approval is required by law or the rules of an applicable exchange, increase the number of shares available under the Plan, change the persons eligible for awards under the Plan, extend the time within which awards may be made, or amend the provisions of the Plan related to amendments. No amendment that would adversely affect any outstanding award made under the Plan can be made without the consent of the holder of such award.

Changes in Control

We do not currently have any arrangements which if consummated may result in a change of control of our company.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

In December 2021, following a proposal voted upon at our annual meeting, we filed a Certificate of Amendment to our Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated July 30, 2020 (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) setting forth an amendment to increase the number of shares of Common Stock from 200,000,000 to 250,000,000 (the “Share Increase Amendment”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. To date, none of these newly authorized shares has actually been issued. Three people claiming to be beneficial owners of Common Stock subsequently expressed concerns about a statement in our proxy statement related to the proposal to adopt the Share Increase Amendment (the “Share Increase Proposal”), specifically questioning, in light of our November 2021 proxy statement, the ability of brokerage firms and other custodians to vote shares of Common Stock held by them for the benefit of their customers in the absence of instructions from the beneficial owners. Based on an examination of the situation performed following receipt of these demands, we believe that the vote at the annual meeting on the Share Increase Proposal was properly tabulated and that the Share Increase Amendment was properly adopted in accordance with Delaware law. In light of the demands, however, and to ensure against any future question as to the validity of these newly authorized shares, we elected to seek validation of the Share Increase Amendment through a Petition to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “205 Petition”). The action, styled In re 1847 Goedeker Inc., C.A. 2022-0219-SG, seeks entry by the Court of Chancery of an order validating and declaring effective the Share Increase Amendment, and validating the additional shares authorized under the Share Increase Proposal. At least one of the persons who expressed concerns about adoption of the Share Increase Proposal has both objected to the 205 Petition and filed his own lawsuit (now consolidated with the 205 Petition) seeking the opposite outcome. The 205 Petition is currently scheduled for hearing on May 27, 2022. Please see “Item 3 Legal Proceedings” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on March 31, 2022, and the Company’s Form 8-K, filed on March 21, 2022, for further discussion of this matter.

On December 17, 2021, the board of directors approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the number of shares of common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plan from 1,000,000 to 11,000,000 shares. Such increase was approved by the Company’s stockholders effective as of December 21, 2021.

The following table sets forth certain information about the securities authorized for issuance under our incentive plans as of December 31, 2021. If the shares subject to the Share Increase Proposal described above are disregarded, the number of shares remaining available for future issuance under the Plan, as of December 31, 2021, would only be 758,294 shares rather than the 10,253,400 shares set forth in the table below.

Plan Category	Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights (a)		Weighted average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights (b)		Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a)) (c)
Equity compensation plans approved by security holders		312,960	$	5.97		10,253,400

Pursuant to the offsetting management services agreement, as amended, the Company appointed the Manager to provide certain services to it for a quarterly management fee equal to $62,500; provided, however, that under certain circumstances specified in the management services agreement, the quarterly fee may be reduced if similar fees payable to the Manager by subsidiaries of the Company’s former parent company, 1847 Holdings LLC, exceed a threshold amount.

17

The Company shall also reimburse the Manager for all costs and expenses of the Company which are specifically approved by the board of directors of the Company, including all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, that are actually incurred by the Manager or its affiliates on behalf of the Company in connection with performing services under the management services agreement.

Advances

Related Party Note

A portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Goedeker Television Co. (“Goedeker Television”).was paid by our issuance to Steve Goedeker, as representative of Goedeker Television, of a 9% subordinated promissory note in the principal amount of $4,100,000. Michael Goedeker, our director, President and Chief Operating Officer until March 2020 and a significant stockholder, was also a director, officer and principal stockholder of Goedeker Television. On June 2, 2020, the parties entered into an amendment and restatement of the note that became effective as of the closing of our initial public offering on August 4, 2020, pursuant to which (i) the principal amount of the existing note was increased by $250,000, (ii) upon the closing of the initial public offering, we agreed to make all payments of principal and interest due under the note through the date of the closing, and (iii) from and after the closing, the interest rate of the note was increased from 9% to 12%. In accordance with the terms of the amended and restated note, we used a portion of the proceeds from the initial public offering to pay $1,083,842 of the balance of the note representing a $696,204 reduction in the principal balance and interest accrued through August 4, 2020 of $387,638. We repaid this note in August 2020.

Leonite Securities Purchase Agreement

On April 5, 2019, our Company, 1847 Goedeker Holdco Inc. (“Holdco”) (our direct parent company at such time) and 1847 Holdings (Holdco’s parent company at such time) entered into a securities purchase agreement with Leonite Capital LLC (“Leonite”) (the “Leonite Securities Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which our Company, Holdco and 1847 Holdings issued to Leonite a secured convertible promissory note (the “Secured Note”) in the aggregate principal amount of $714,286. As additional consideration for the purchase of the Secured Note, (i) 1847 Holdings issued to Leonite 50,000 common shares (valued at $137,500), (ii) 1847 Holdings issued to Leonite a five-year warrant to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (subject to adjustment), which may be exercised on a cashless basis, and (iii) Holdco issued to Leonite shares of common stock equal to a 7.5% non-dilutable interest in Holdco. As of December 31, 2019, the balance of the note was $584,943. As a result of this transaction, Leonite became a related party.

On May 11, 2020, the Company, Holdco, 1847 Holdings and Leonite entered into a first amendment to Secured Note, pursuant to which the parties agreed (i) to extend the maturity date of the Secured Note to October 5, 2020, (ii) that our failure to repay the Secured Note on the original maturity date of April 5, 2020 shall not constitute and event of default under the note and (iii) to increase the principal amount of the Secured Note by $207,145, as a forbearance fee.

In connection with the amendment, (i) 1847 Holdings issued to Leonite another five-year warrant to purchase 200,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.25 per share (subject to adjustment), which may be exercised on a cashless basis and (ii) upon closing of 1847 Holdings’ acquisition of Asien’s Appliance, Inc., 1847 Holdings’ wholly owned subsidiary 1847 Asien Inc. issued to Leonite shares of common stock equal to a 5% interest in 1847 Asien Inc.

Under the Secured Note, Leonite had the right at any time at its option to convert all or any part of the outstanding and unpaid principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest of the note into fully paid and non-assessable common shares or any shares of capital stock or other securities of 1847 Holdings into which such common shares may be changed or reclassified.

18

On August 4, 2020, we used a portion of the proceeds from our initial public offering to repay the note in full.

On September 2, 2020, 1847 Holdings and Leonite entered into an amendment to the warrant issued on April 5, 2019, pursuant to which the warrant was amended to allow for the exercise of the warrant for 180,000 common shares of 1847 Holdings in exchange for Leonite’s surrender of the remaining 20,000 common shares underlying that warrant, as well as all 200,000 common shares underlying the second warrant issued to Leonite on May 11, 2020. On September 18, 2020, Leonite exercised the warrant in accordance with the foregoing for 180,000 common shares of 1847 Holdings. As a result, both warrants have terminated.
