Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Public Offering
On February 27, 2024, SolarMax Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Kingswood, a division of Kingswood Capital Partners, LLC (the “Representative”), as representative of the underwriters. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to the underwriters in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at a price of $4.00 per share. The gross proceeds of the offering were $18 million, prior to deducting the underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. In addition, SolarMax has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase an additional 675,000 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, to cover over-allotments. The Common Stock is traded on The Nasdaq Global Market under the trading symbol “SMXT.”
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company paid the Representative a 1% non-accountable expense allowance and reimbursed the Representative for certain accountable expenses of $175,000.
The Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-266206), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), which was declared effective by the Commission on February 12, 2024 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”). The final prospectus was filed on February 28, 2024.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties that the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, the other party in the context of all of the terms and conditions of that agreement and in the context of the specific relationship between the parties. The provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreements and are not intended as documents for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to those documents and agreements. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s filings with Commission.
Representative’s Warrant
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company issued to the Representative a warrant (the “Representative’s Warrant”) to purchase 360,000 shares of Common Stock. In the event the underwriters exercise their Over-Allotment Option, the underwriters will be entitled to receive a Representative’s Warrant to purchase 8% of the number of shares of Common Stock sold upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The Representative’s Warrant will be exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to $4.80 and are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the period commencing February 29, 2024 and terminating on February 12, 2029. The Representative’s Warrant also provides for certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights for the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Representative’s Warrant and contains customary anti-dilution provisions.
The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the Representative’s Warrant are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, the Underwriting Agreement and the Representative’s Warrant that are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
