Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 12, 2021, Ideanomics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the “Agent”).  In accordance with the terms of the Agreement, the Company may offer and sell from time to time through or to the Agent, as sales agent or principal, the Company’s common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $350,000,000 (the “Placement Shares”). The Placement Shares will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333- 252230) and the related base prospectus included in the registration statement, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated August 12, 2021.

 

The Company is not obligated to sell any Placement Shares pursuant to the Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal law, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), to sell the Placement Shares from time to time based upon the Company’s instructions, including any price, time or size limits or other customary parameters or conditions the Company may impose. Sales of the Placement Shares, if any, will be made on Nasdaq at market prices by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company shall pay to the Agent in cash, upon each sale of Placement Shares pursuant to the Agreement, an amount up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of Placement Shares.

 

The summary of the Agreement in this report does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

 

The legal opinion of Sherman & Howard LLC relating to the Placement Shares is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
