Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Sales Agreement
On August 23, 2023, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment No. 1”) to the Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement” and as amended by Amendment No. 1, the “Amended Sales Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC (“TD Cowen”), to increase the aggregate offering price of the shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), that may be offered and sold from time to time in an at the market offering program,from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000 (the “Placement Shares”) through TD Cowen as its sales agent and/or principal. As of August 23, 2023, the Company has offered and sold shares of Common Stock having an aggregate offering price at the time of sale of $83,514,365.80 under the Sales Agreement.
Under the Amended Sales Agreement, the Company will set the parameters for the sale of the Placement Shares, including the number of Placement Shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, limitations on the number of Placement Shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Amended Sales Agreement, TD Cowen may sell the Placement Shares by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including sales made through The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), on any other existing trading market for the Common Stock. In conducting such sales activities, TD Cowen will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of Nasdaq. The Company will pay TD Cowen a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of any Placement Shares sold through TD Cowen under the Amended Sales Agreement, and has provided TD Cowen with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The Company will also reimburse TD Cowen for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Amended Sales Agreement. The Amended Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all Placement Shares subject to the Amended Sales Agreement or (ii) termination of the Amended Sales Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth therein.
The Company is not obligated to sell, and TD Cowen is not obligated to buy or sell, any Placement Shares under the Amended Sales Agreement. No assurance can be given that the Company will sell any Placement Shares under the Amended Sales Agreement, or, if it does, as to the price or amount of the Placement Shares that it sells or the dates when such sales will take place.
Any Placement Shares to be offered and sold under the Amended Sales Agreement will be issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-263298), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 4, 2022 and which became effective on April 25, 2022 (the “Registration Statement”). The Company intends to file a prospectus supplement with the SEC on August 23, 2023 in connection with the offer and sale of the Placement Shares pursuant to the Amended Sales Agreement.
The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Amended Sales Agreement. For a full description of all terms, please refer to the copy of the Amended Sales Agreement that is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any shares of Common Stock, nor shall there be any sale of shares of Common Stock in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
Supply Agreement
On August 23, 2023, HI-POWER, LLC (“Hi-Power”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Master Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with ACRO Automation Systems, Inc. (“Acro”), a Wisconsin corporation, to govern the provision of certain services, including engineering, design, and installation (“Initial Services”), as well as the purchase of certain equipment (the “Initial Equipment”) in connection with the construction and installation of an automated assembly line (the “Assembly Line”). Additional services and equipment may be purchased by issuing additional purchase orders under the Supply Agreement. The total purchase price of the Initial Equipment and Initial Services is $17,154,300 (the “Initial Price”). The Initial Price will be paid for with the application of certain pre-paid deposits and with installment payments based on key milestones beginning upon execution of the Supply Agreement and ending six (6) months after completion of site acceptance testing (“SAT”) that confirms that Acro has completed installation and demonstrated that the Assembly Line meets certain production performance requirements. The Supply Agreement contains customary default provisions, suspension clauses and remedies for any uncured event of default by Hi-Power.
Additionally, contingent on an accelerated SAT completion for the Assembly Line, Hi-Power would pay Acro an additional incentive payment of either $1,000,000 or $500,000. Additionally, contingent on Acro meeting all prior SAT completion dates and the U.S. Department of Energy providing the applicable funding, Hi-Power would issue additional purchase orders to Acro for the equipment and services needed to complete up to three (3) additional automated line(s).
Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 23, 2023, the Company and YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”), an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors, terminated the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement dated as of April 28, 2022, as amended (the “SEPA”) by the mutual written consent of the parties, effective as of August 23, 2023. As previously disclosed, pursuant to the SEPA, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell up to $75.0 million of shares of Common Stock to Yorkville at times of the Company’s choosing during the two-year term of the agreement. As of August 23, 2023, the Company has sold shares of Common Stock to Yorkville in an aggregate offering price of $50.8 million under the SEPA. At the time of termination, there were no outstanding borrowings, advance notices or shares of Common Stock to be issued under the SEPA. In addition, there were no fees due by the Company or Yorkville in connection with the termination of the SEPA.
