Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Underwritten Offering of Common Stock

 

On November 30, 2023, Polar Power, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC, as the representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, at a price to the public of $0.40 per share, in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”). The Company also granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 45 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement to purchase up to an additional 600,000 shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments. All of the Shares in the Offering are being sold by the Company.

 

The Representative exercised the over-allotment option in full on December 4, 2023, to purchase an additional 600,000 shares of common stock (the “Over-Allotment Exercise’). The Offering and closing on the Over-Allotment Exercise closed concurrently on December 5, 2023. The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering and the Over-Allotment Exercise are expected to be approximately $1.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company plans to use the net proceeds from this Offering for general corporate purposes.

 

The Offering was made pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-252196) (the “Registration Statement”) and a related prospectus and prospectus supplement, in each case filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, and customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Representative, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

 

 
 

 

The Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide investors and security holders with information regarding their terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The descriptions of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to such exhibits. Readers should review the Underwriting Agreement that is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with the Offering. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of the Underwriting Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Underwriting Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Underwriting Agreement.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Copies of these press releases are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The information in this item shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of Section 18, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any of the Company’s filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent, if any, expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
