Item 1.01Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 8, 2021, Electrameccanica Vehicles Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a sales agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (each an “Agent”) under which the Company may, from time to time, sell common shares of the Company, no par value per share (the “Shares”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $100,000,000 through the Agents.

 

Sales of Shares, if any, may be made by the Agent designated by the Company in a placement notice (a “Designated Agent”) by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”), the existing trading market for the Shares, or on any other existing trading market for the Shares, and, if expressly authorized by the Company, in negotiated transactions. The Designated Agent will not be permitted to purchase Shares for its own account as principal unless expressly authorized by the Company to do so in a placement notice. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agents will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions, subject to applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations, and the rules of Nasdaq.

 

The Company is not obligated to, and the Company cannot provide any assurances that it will, make any sales of the Shares under the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) sale of all the Shares through the Agents on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement, or (ii) the termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein. The Sales Agreement may be terminated by the Agents or the Company at any time upon ten days’ notice to the other party, or by the Agents at any time in certain circumstances, including the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Company.

 

The Company will pay the Designated Agent a commission of 2.7% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares, and has agreed to provide the Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse the Agents for certain specified expenses, including the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed $25,000.

 

The description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Sales Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

The opinion of the Company’s counsel regarding the validity of the Shares that will be issued pursuant to the Sales Agreement is also filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.

 

The Shares will be issued pursuant to: the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-250863) (the “Registration Statement”), previously filed, which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 2, 2020; the base prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement, and the prospectus supplement dated February 8, 2021 filed by the Company with the SEC. This Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
