Item 1.01.Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 15, 2023, Volcon, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Aegis Capital Corp. (the “Underwriter”), in connection with a public offering (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 1,400,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 210,000 Shares to cover over-allotments, if any, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

 

The Offering closed on September 18, 2023, and the Company received net proceeds of approximately $547,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses payable by the Company associated with the Offering. An aggregate of 1,400,000 Shares were sold in the Offering. The Shares were sold at a price to the public of $0.50 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions.

 

The Offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement (File No. 333-269644) on Form S-3 and the base prospectus contained therein, which was filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 8, 2023, amended on March 15, 2023, and declared effective on March 21, 2023.  A prospectus supplement relating to the Offering was filed with the SEC on September 18, 2023. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes and for payment of fees incurred from its investor relations firm.

 

Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter received an underwriting discount of 4.0% to the public offering price for the Shares. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company will also issue to the Underwriter or their designees warrants to purchase up to 20.0% of the aggregate number of Shares issued in the Offering (the “Underwriter Warrants”) with an exercise price equal to 125% of the offering price, or $0.625 per share, subject to adjustments. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the Underwriter’s fees and expenses of $50,000.

 

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

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement and Underwriter Warrant is not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement and Underwriter Warrant, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1 and are incorporated by reference herein.
