Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Private Placement and Securities Purchase Agreements
On March 28, 2024, Energy Focus, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into certain securities purchase agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) an aggregate of 283,109 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for a purchase price per share of $1.59.
Aggregate gross proceeds to the Company in respect of the Private Placement is approximately $450,143, before offering expenses payable by the Company. The Private Placement was closed on March 28, 2024.
The Private Placement was priced at the “Minimum Price” as defined under the Listing Rule 5635(d) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), which is the lower of: (i) the closing price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com); or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. As a result, shareholder approval is exempted. Further, the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Purchase Agreements are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and were made pursuant to certain exemptions from registration, including Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, in reliance on the representations and covenants of the Purchasers under the Purchase Agreements.
