Item 1.01 Entry into Material Definitive Agreement.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On November 6, 2023, BK Technologies, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of BK Technologies Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Master Supply Agreement (the “MSA”) and Transition Services Agreement (the “TSA,” and together with the MSA, the “Agreements”) with East West Manufacturing, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“East West”). Pursuant to the Agreements, the Company will transition its West Melbourne, Florida manufacturing activities to East West’s facilities, and East West will become the exclusive third-party manufacturer of the Company’s radio product line under a three-year arrangement. In connection with the Agreements, the Company and East West entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”), pursuant to which East West will purchase 77,520 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “BKTI Stock”) with a value equal to $1,000,000. The number of shares of BKTI Stock was determined based upon a price per share of $12.90, which is equal to the average of the closing price of BKTI Stock on the NYSE American exchange for the 30 most recent trading days prior to November 6, 2023, rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. Additionally, East West purchased a warrant (“Warrant”), with a five-year term to purchase up to 135,300 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price per share of $15.00. The consideration for the Warrant is payment equal to (a) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) minus (b) (i) the amount of any outstanding accounts payable by Company to East West and (ii) the amount of any excess or obsolete inventory of Company currently held by East West (solely to the extent not otherwise taken into account pursuant to the MSA or any other agreement between the Company and East West). The BKTI Stock, the Warrant and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant were issued to an accredited investor in a private placement exempt from the registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“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 Warrant or the shares underlying the Warrant by the Company; and (d) the negotiations for the sale of the securities took place directly between East West and the Company.
The preceding description of the Agreements, the SPA and Warrant is a summary of material terms, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the MSA, TSA, SPA and Warrant, copies of which are being filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 6, 2023, the Company issued a press release regarding the Agreements and East West’s investment in the Company as described above, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The press release included as Exhibit 99.1 will be deemed to be “furnished” rather than “filed,” pursuant to the rules of the Commission.
