Item
1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 8, 2022, Canoo Inc. (“we,”
“us,” the “Company” or “Canoo”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (as supplemented by that certain side letter also entered into among the parties on August 8, 2022 (the “Side Letter”), the “Sales Agreement”) with Evercore Group L.L.C. and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (collectively, the “agents”) to sell shares of the
Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), having an aggregate sales price of up to
$200.0 million, from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program under which the agents will act as sales
agents. The sales, if any, of the Shares made under the Sales Agreement will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an
“at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The agents will be entitled to total compensation at a commission
rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price per share sold, with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC being entitled to an additional 1.5% of the
gross sales price per share sold. We have agreed to provide the agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. We will
also reimburse the agents for certain specified expenses in connection with entering into the Sales Agreement. The Sales Agreement contains
customary representations and warranties and conditions to the sale of the Shares pursuant thereto.
We are not obligated to
sell any of the Shares under the Sales Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers thereunder. The offering of
Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (1) the sale, pursuant to the Sales Agreement, of Shares
having an aggregate sales price of $200.0 million and (2) the termination of the Sales Agreement by either us or the agents, as
permitted therein.
The Shares will be issued pursuant
to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-264842). The Company filed a prospectus supplement on August 8, 2022 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.
This Current Report on Form 8-K
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy the Shares, nor shall there be an offer, solicitation or
sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under
the securities laws of such state.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement and the Side Letter is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the full text of the Sales Agreement and the Side Letter which are filed as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 1.2, respectively, to this Current
Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.
Attached to this Current Report
on Form 8-K as Exhibit 5.1, and incorporated by reference to the Prospectus Supplement, is the opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP relating
to the legality of the Shares.
