Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Unit Offering
On March 26, 2021, the Company entered into several securities purchase
agreements (the “Unit Purchase Agreements”) with certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”), pursuant
to which the Company sold an aggregate of 1,818,182 Units, at a price of $1.65 per Unit, to the Purchasers for an aggregate purchase price
of $3,000,000 (the “Company Financing”). Each Unit consists of (i) one (1) Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Share
of the Company with a stated value (the “Stated Value”) of $2.00 per share (each a “Series A Share” and,
collectively, the “Series A Shares”), and (ii) a three-year warrant to purchase one (1) Common Share of the Company
at an exercise price of $2.50 per Common Share (subject to adjustment), which may be exercised on a cashless basis under certain circumstances
(the “Warrants” and, together with the Series A Shares, “Units”). The sale by the Company of the
Units was completed on March 26, 2021. The proceeds of the Company Financing were used to fund, in part, an acquisition by the Company’s
subsidiary, 1847 Wolo Inc. (“1847 Wolo”). As described in further detail below, the Company contributed to 1847 Wolo
the $3,000,000 raised in the Company Financing, in exchange for 1,000 shares of 1847 Wolo’s Series A Preferred Stock at a price
of $3,000 per share (the “Wolo Preferred Shares”), so that 1847 Wolo would have the funds to acquire Wolo Mfg. Corp.
and Wolo Industrial Signal & Horn, Inc. (together, “Wolo”).
Pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreements, the
Company is required file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the resale of all shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Shares and exercise of
the Warrants with thirty (days) after the closing of the Unit Purchase Agreements and use its commercially reasonable efforts to have
the registration statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than (i) ninety (90) days
after the closing in the event that the SEC does not review the registration statement, or (ii) one hundred fifty (150) days after
the closing in the event that the SEC reviews the registration statement (but in any event, no later than two (2) business days from the
SEC indicating that it has no further comments on the registration statement).
The lead investor in the offering (the “Lead
Investor”) received participation rights that permit them, for a period of 12 months after the closing, to participate in an
offering of securities by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in an amount up to the aggregate amount that the Lead Investor invested
in the offering with customary exclusions.
In addition to the participation right, and registration
rights described above, the Unit Purchase Agreements provided several other covenants in favor of the purchasers and/or the lead investor,
including information rights, observer rights, certain restrictive covenants, and other covenants customary for similar transactions.
The Unit Purchase Agreements also contain customary
representations, warranties closing conditions and indemnities.
Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Shares
The terms of the Series A Shares are governed
by an amended and restated certificate of designation (the “Certificate of Designation”). Pursuant to the Certificate
of Designation, the Company designated 4,450,460 of its preferred shares as Series A Shares. Following is a summary of the material terms
of the Series A Shares:
|
●
|
Dividends. Dividends at the rate per annum of 14.0% of the Stated Value of $2.00 per share, (subject
to adjustment) shall accrue on such Series A Shares. Dividends shall accrue from day to day, whether or not declared, and shall be cumulative.
Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each dividend payment date in cash or Common Shares at the Company’s discretion.
Dividends payable in Common Shares shall be calculated based on a price equal to eighty percent (80%) of the volume weighted average price
(“VWAP”) for the Common Shares on the Company’s principal trading market during the five (5) trading days immediately
prior to the applicable dividend payment date. The Common Shares issued in lieu of cash dividends shall be free-trading, and freely transferable,
and will not contain a legend (or be subject to stop transfer or similar instructions) restricting the resale or transferability thereof.
Provided however that Dividends payable in Common Shares shall be calculated based upon the fixed price of $1.57 if the Common Shares
are not registered, and rulemaking resulted in a longer holding period for convertible securities like the Series A Shares and the unavailability
at the time of conversion of Rule 144 is effective on the respective dividend payment date; provided further, that the Company may only
elect to pay dividends in Common Shares based upon such fixed price if the VWAP for the Common Shares on the Company’s principal
trading market during the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date is $1.57 or higher.

Liquidation. Subject to the rights of the Company’s creditors and the holders of any Senior
Securities or Parity Securities (in each case, as defined in the Certificate of Designation), upon any liquidation of the Company or its
subsidiaries, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company (whether capital or surplus) shall be made to or set apart
for the holders of securities that are junior to the Series A Shares as to the distribution of assets on any liquidation of the Company,
each holder of outstanding Series A Shares shall be entitled to receive an amount of cash equal to 115% of the Stated Value plus an amount
of cash equal to all accumulated accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (whether or not declared) to, but not including the date of final
distribution to such holders. If, upon any liquidation of the Company, the assets of the Company, or proceeds thereof, distributable among
the holders of the Series A Shares shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount payable to the holders of the Series A
Shares and liquidating payments on any other shares of any class or series of Parity Securities as to the distribution of assets on any
liquidation of the Company, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Shares and any
such other Parity Securities ratably in accordance with the respective amounts that would be payable on such Series A Shares and any such
other Parity Securities if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

Limited Liability Company Act. So long as any Series A Shares are outstanding, the affirmative vote of the majority of Series A Shares,
which majority must include Lead Investor so long as Lead Investor holds any Series A Shares (the “Requisite Holders”),

convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time and from time to time into such number of fully paid and nonassessable Common
Shares (calculated as to each conversion to the whole share) determined by dividing the Stated Value, plus the value of the accrued, but
unpaid, dividends thereon, by the conversion price of $1.75 per share; provided that in no event shall the holder of any Series A Shares
be entitled to convert any number of Series A Preferred Shares that upon conversion the sum of (i) the number of Common Shares beneficially
owned by the holder and its affiliates and (ii) the number of Common Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Shares with respect
to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the holder and its affiliates of more
than 4.99% of the then outstanding Common Shares of the Company. This limitation may be waived (up to a maximum of 9.99%) by the holder
and in its sole discretion, not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company.

Warrants
Each Warrant to purchase one Common Share of the
Company is exercisable within three years at an exercise price of $2.50 per Common Share (subject to adjustment, including a full ratchet
antidilution adjustment), which may be exercised on a cashless basis if the underlying warrant shares are not then registered or otherwise
freely tradeable. The Warrants contains an ownership limitation, such that the Company shall not affect any exercise of any Warrant, and
the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of such Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Common
Shares upon exercise such Warrant, such Purchaser, together with its affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with
such Purchaser or any of its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately
after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of such Warrant. Upon no fewer than 61 days’ prior
notice to the Company, a purchaser may increase or decrease such beneficial ownership limitation provisions and any such increase or decrease
will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company.
In addition, the Warrant provides that under certain
circumstances described below, the Company may force the exercise of the Warrant. The Company may force the exercise of the Warrant at
any time after the one year anniversary of the date of the Warrant, if (i) the Company is listed on a national securities exchange or
the over-the-counter market, (ii) underlying warrant shares are registered or the holder of the Warrant otherwise has the ability to trade
the warrant shares without restriction, (iii) the 30-day volume-weighted daily average price of the Company’s Common Shares exceeds
200% of the Exercise Price, as adjusted and (ii) the average daily trading volume is at least 100,000 Common Shares during such 30-day
period.
The Company may redeem the Warrants
held by any holder in whole (but not in part) by paying in cash to such holder as follows: (i) $0.50 per warrant share then underlying
the Warrant if within the first twelve (12) months of issuance; (ii) $1.00 per warrant share then underlying the Warrant if after the
