Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On November 23, 2020, Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. (the “Underwriter”), with respect to the issuance and sale in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by the Company of an aggregate of 2,400,000 common shares, with no par value (the “Common Shares”) at a public offering price of US$10.00 per Common Share (the “Offering Price”). The Company also granted the Underwriter an option to purchase within 45 days of the Underwriting Agreement up to 360,000Common Shares equivalent to 15% of the Common Shares sold in the Offering (the “Over-Allotment Option”) at the Offering Price.

 

The Common Shares were approved to list on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol VMAR and began trading on November 24, 2020.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements, indemnification obligations, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and related “lock-up” agreements, the Company, each of its directors and executive officers and its shareholders prior to the Offering have agreed not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Company’s securities, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, during the period ending 180 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement.

 

In exchange for the Underwriter’s services under the Underwriting Agreement, we agreed to (i) pay the Underwriter a cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds from the Offering, (ii) pay the Underwriter a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds from the Offering, (iii) reimburse the Underwriter for up to US$192,500 of certain accountable expenses and (iv) grant the Underwriter warrants to purchase Common Shares equal to 5.5% of the aggregate number of Common Shares sold in the Offering (the “Representative’s Warrants”). The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to US$12.50, which represents 125% of the Offering Price.

 

The Offering closed on November 27, 2020 at which time the Company sold of 2,760,000 Common Shares, which includes 360,000 shares sold upon full exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. After deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses, the net proceeds from the Offering were approximately US$24,940,000. The Company issued Representative’s Warrants to purchase up to 151,800 Common Shares in connection with the Offering.

 

The Underwriting Agreement is included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 6-K to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of a specific date, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.
