Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
On June 6, 2021, BK Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity, a division of Fordham Financial Management, Inc. (the “Representative”), as representative of the several underwriters listed therein (the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 3,695,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Offering Shares”), par value $0.60 per share (the “Common Stock”), in a public offering (the “Offering”), at a public offering price of $3.00 per share. The Company also granted a 45-day option to the Underwriters to purchase up to 554,250 additional shares (the “Option Shares”) of Common Stock, representing approximately fifteen percent (15%) of the Offering Shares sold in the Offering, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. On June 9, 2021, the Company issued and sold to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement the Offering Shares and Option Shares for estimated net proceeds of approximately $11.6 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
 
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and customary obligations of the parties, including a 90-day lock-up period on certain dispositions of Common Stock by the Company, subject to customary exceptions. Additionally, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities. Until June 9, 2022, the Representative has an irrevocable right of first refusal to act as sole investment banker, sole book-runner and/or sole placement agent, at the Representative’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity and debt offering, including all equity linked financings, for the Company, or any successor to or any subsidiary of the Company, using an investment banker, placement agent or broker on terms customary to the Representative.
 
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, on June 9, 2021, the Company also issued to certain of the Representative’s designees warrants to purchase up to 184,750 shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Representative’s Warrants”). The Representative’s Warrants are exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, from December 3, 2021 until June 6, 2026, at a price per share of $3.75. The Representative’s Warrants also provide for “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the registration of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Representative’s Warrants and customary anti-dilution provisions. The piggyback registration rights last 4.5 years from the initial exercise date of December 3, 2021.
 
The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-251307), including an accompanying prospectus, and preliminary and final prospectus supplements thereto, all of which were previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Representative’s Warrants were issued, and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Representative’s Warrant, unless registered prior to issuance, are expected to be issued, in each case, in reliance on the exemption from the registration requirements in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The Company’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act is based in part upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was in connection with isolated private transactions which did not involve any public offering; (b) there were a limited number of offerees; (c) there will be no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the Representative’s Warrants or the shares of Common Stock underlying the Representative’s Warrant by the Company; and (d) the negotiations for the sale of the securities took place directly between the Representative and the Company.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and Representative’s Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Underwriting Agreement and form of Representative’s Warrant, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the opinion of Kirton McConkie PC relating to the Offering Shares and Option Shares is also filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.
 
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On June 9, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Offering, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
