Entry
into a Material Definitive Agreement.
|
As previously disclosed, on September 9, 2016, Real Goods Solar,
Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Roth
Capital Partners, LLC, as representative of the underwriter parties thereto (the “Representative”), and WestPark
Capital, Inc. (together with the Representative, the “Underwriters”). On September 14, 2016, pursuant to the terms
of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company sold to the Underwriters an aggregate of 2,800 units (representing gross proceeds of
$2,800,000) (each, a “Unit”), each Unit consisting of one share of the Company’s Series A 12.5% Mandatorily
Convertible Preferred Stock, stated value $1,000 per share (the “Preferred Stock”) and convertible into shares of
the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and one Series H Warrant
to purchase approximately 181.8181 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). The public offering price for each Unit
was $1,000 and the Underwriters’ discount was $70 per Unit.
At the closing, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,800 shares
of Preferred Stock and Warrants exercisable into an aggregate of 509,091 shares of Common Stock.
The Company offered and sold the Units, the Preferred Stock
and the Warrants issued as part of the Units, the Underwriter Warrant (as defined below), and the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and the exercise of the Warrants issued as part of the Units, pursuant to an effective
registration statement on Securities and Exchange Commission Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-211915).
The Company received net proceeds of approximately $2.2 million
at the closing, after deducting commissions to the Underwriters and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company associated
with the offering.
The Units were not certificated. The Preferred Stock was issued
in electronic form and the Warrants were issued in physical form separately at the closing and each may be transferred separately.
None of the Units, the Preferred Stock, the Warrants or the Underwriter Warrant will be listed on any national securities exchange
or other trading market, and no trading market for the Units, the Preferred Stock, the Warrants or the Underwriter Warrant is expected
to develop.
At the closing of the offering on September 14, 2016, the Company’s
directors, officers, and 10% shareholders each entered into Lock-Up Agreements pursuant to which they agreed, for a period of 90
days after the closing of the offering, not to offer, sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of Common Stock or “Common
Stock Equivalents” (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), or take certain other actions with respect to the Company’s
securities.
In connection with the closings of the offering, the Company
paid the Representative a $56,000 non-accountable expense reimbursement, and $75,000 as reimbursement for legal fees and disbursements
incurred in the course of qualifying the offering with certain regulatory agencies, and for certain additional fees and expenses
actually incurred. The aggregate discount under the Underwriting Agreement for the Representative was $161,700 and for WestPark
Capital, Inc. was $34,300.
In addition, the Company issued to the Representative a warrant
to purchase up to an aggregate of 140 Units at an exercise price of $1,000 per Unit (the “Underwriter Warrant”).
The Underwriter Warrant has similar terms as the Warrants, except that: (i) the Underwriter Warrant is exercisable to purchase
Units rather than Common Stock; (ii) the Underwriter Warrant expires 60 months after September 8, 2016 rather than 60 months after
issuance; (iii) the Underwriter Warrant is exercisable through a cashless exercise regardless of whether the Units issuable upon
exercise of the Underwriter Warrant are covered by a registration statement under the Securities Act; (iv) the exercise price is
not subject to adjustment; (v) certain covenants in the Warrants have been removed in the Underwriter Warrant; (vi) the initial
beneficial ownership limitation is set at 4.99% rather than 9.99%; and (vii) pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g), the Underwriter Warrant
and the underlying securities are not transferable for six months from the date of issuance, except the transfer of any security:
|
·
|
by operation of law or by reason of reorganization of the Company;
|
|
·
|
to any FINRA member firm participating in the offering and the officers
or partners thereof, if all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder
of the time period;
|
|
·
|
if the aggregate amount of securities of the Company held by the holder
of the Underwriter Warrant or related persons do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered;
|
|
·
|
that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners
of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund, and participating
members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or
|
|
·
|
the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities received
remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period.
