Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 19, 2014, Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (the
Company) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the Purchase
Agreement) with certain purchasers identified on the signature pages thereto
(the Buyers) pursuant to which the Company will sell to the Buyers, in a
registered direct offering, an aggregate of 606,000 shares (the Shares) of
common stock, par value $0.001 per share (Common Stock), at a negotiated
purchase price of $18.24 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company
of approximately $11,053,440, before deducting fees to the
placement agent and other estimated offering expenses payable by the
Company.
As part of the transaction, the Buyers will also receive 90,900
warrants for the purchase of up to 90,900 shares of our Common Stock at an
exercise price of $22.80 per share (the Warrants). The Warrants have a term of
eighteen months and are exercisable by the holders at any time after the date of
issuance.
The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants are subject to an adjustment upon the occurrence of
certain events, including, but not limited to, stock splits or dividends,
business combinations, sale of assets, similar recapitalization transactions, or
other similar transactions. The exercise price of the Warrants are subject to
adjustment in the event that the Company issues or is deemed to issue shares of
Common Stock for less than the applicable exercise price of the Warrants.
The exercisability of the Warrants may be limited if, upon
exercise, the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own more than
4.99% of the Common Stock. Further, the exercisability of the Warrants are
subject to compliance with principal market (NASDAQ) regulations.
Per the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed
with the Buyers the following: (i) that subject to certain exceptions, it will
not, within the sixty (60) trading days following the closing of this financing
transactions enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or
proposed issuance of any securities; (ii) that, for a period of 12 months, it
will not enter into an agreement to effect a Variable Rate Transaction, as
that term is defined in the Purchase Agreement; and (iii) that if the Company
issues securities within the 18 months following the closing, the Buyers shall
have the right to purchase up to 30% of the securities on the same terms,
conditions and price provided for in the proposed issuance of securities.
The Shares, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of the Warrants are being offered by the Company pursuant to an
effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on April 19, 2013 and was declared effective
on May 23, 2013 (File No. 333-188039).

between the Company and the placement agent was attached as Exhibit 10.2 to a
