Item 1.01Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

  

On November 14, 2022, Mullen Automotive Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Subscription and Investment Representation Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with David Michery, its Chief Executive Officer, who is an accredited investor (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold one (1) share of the Company’s Series AA Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), to the Purchaser for $25,000.00 in cash. Additional information regarding the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions applicable to the Preferred Stock is set forth under Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Subscription Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and certain indemnification rights and obligations of the parties.

 

The foregoing summary of the Subscription Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, such document, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

  

Item 3.02Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

 

The disclosure required by this Item is included in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. Based in part upon the representations of the Purchaser in the Subscription Agreement, the offering and sale of the Preferred Stock was exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

Item 3.03Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders

 

The disclosure required by this Item is included in Item 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5.03Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

 

On November 14, 2022, the Company filed a certificate of designation (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, effective as of the time of filing, designating the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of the share of Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation provides that the Preferred Stock will have 1,300,000,000 votes per share of Preferred Stock and will vote together with the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock as a single class exclusively with respect to any proposal to adopt an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (as may be amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Restated Certificate”) to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The Preferred Stock will be voted, without action by the holder, on any such proposal in the same proportion as shares of common stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock as a single class are voted. The Preferred Stock otherwise has no voting rights except as otherwise required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

The Preferred Stock is not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or series of stock or other securities of the Company. The Preferred Stock has no rights with respect to any distribution of assets of the Company, including upon a liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. The holder of the Preferred Stock will not be entitled to receive dividends of any kind.

 

The outstanding share of Preferred Stock will be redeemed in whole, but not in part, at any time: (i) if such redemption is ordered by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion or (ii) automatically upon the approval by the Company’s stockholders of an amendment to the Restated Certificate to implement a reverse stock split. Upon such redemption, the holder of the Preferred Stock will receive consideration of $25,000.00 in cash.

 

 

 

 

 

The foregoing summary of the Certificate of Designation does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designation, copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
