Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Share Exchange Agreement

 

On November 15, 2018, Arcimoto, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Mark Frohnmayer, the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Frohnmayer exchanged 2,000,000 of his shares of Company common stock for 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s newly created Class C preferred stock (the “Class C Preferred Stock”). The rights of the Class C Preferred Stock are described in Item 5.03 below.

 

Public Offering of Common Stock

 

On November 19, 2018, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements with certain investors (the “Subscription Agreements”), relating to a public offering (the “Offering”) of 504,900 shares of the Company’s common stock directly to investors. The offering price was $3.00 per share.

 

The proceeds to the Company from the Offering are approximately $1.5 million, before deducting estimated expenses associated with the Offering that are payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for general corporate purposes, including to cover its operating expenses, inventory and offering costs.

 

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-227683), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 3, 2018, and declared effective by the SEC on October 17, 2018, a base prospectus forming a part of the effective registration statement, a preliminary prospectus supplement dated November 16, 2018 and a prospectus supplement dated November 20, 2018.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Exchange Agreement and Subscription Agreements are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Exchange Agreement and form of Subscription Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10.7 and Exhibit 10.8, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

 

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

 

Prior to the effectiveness of the Exchange Agreement described in Item 1.01 above, on November 15, 2018, Articles of Amendment (the “Articles of Amendment”) to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Restated Articles”) were declared effective by the Oregon Secretary of State, creating a new series of authorized preferred stock, no par value per share, designated as the Class C Preferred Stock. The number of shares constituting the Class C Preferred Stock was set at 2,000,000 shares, and following the Exchange Agreement, the only holder of such shares of Class C Preferred Stock is Mr. Frohnmayer.

 

The 2,000,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 2,000,000 shares of common stock upon the filing of an amendment to the Company’s Restated Articles that increases the number of authorized shares of common stock. The Class C Preferred ranks, as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, pari passu with the shares of common stock issued by the Company. Except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in the Related Articles, each share of Class C Preferred Stock has one vote for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company. The Company is not obligated to redeem or repurchase any shares of Class C Preferred Stock. Shares of Class C Preferred Stock are not otherwise entitled to any redemption rights, or mandatory sinking fund or analogous fund provisions.

 

The foregoing description is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Articles of Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

Exhibit 3.1.1

 

ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT TO

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED

ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

OF

ARCIMOTO, INC.

 

1. The name of the Company is Arcimoto, Inc. (the “Company”).

 

2. The Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Restated Articles”) of the Company are amended to add a new Section 4.2.2 to Article 4 to read in its entirety as follows:

 

“4.2.2 Designation and Terms of Class C Preferred Stock .

 

(a) Purpose. This Section 4.2.2 sets forth the designation and the terms of the Company’s Class C Preferred Stock as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to its authority under Oregon Revised Statutes 60.134 and Section 2 of Section 4.2 of these Articles of Incorporation.

 

(b) Designation. 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s authorized Preferred Stock are hereby designated as the Class C Preferred Stock (the “Class C Preferred” or “Class C Preferred Stock”).

 

(c) Voting Rights . Except as otherwise required by law or expressly provided in these Restated Articles, each holder of Class C Preferred Stock shall have one vote in respect of each share of stock held by him, her or it of record on the books of the Company for the election of directors and on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company.

 

(d) Preference. The Class C Preferred shall rank, as to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, pari passu with the shares of Common Stock issued by the Company.

 

(e) Dissolution, Liquidation and Winding Up. In the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, after distribution in full of the preferential amounts, if any, to be distributed to the holders of shares of the Company’s other classes and series of Preferred Stock, holders of the Class C Preferred Stock shall be entitled, unless otherwise required by law or expressly provided in these Restated Articles, to receive all of the remaining assets of the Company of whatever kind available for distribution to shareholders pro rata with the holders of shares of Common Stock, treating for this purpose all such securities as if they had been converted to Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.2.2(f) hereof immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

 

     

 

 

(f) Mandatory Conversion. The Class C Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock only as follows:

 

(A) Trigger Event. Upon the effectiveness with the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Oregon of Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock, all outstanding shares of Class C Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, at the ratio of 1:1 (the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such written notice is referred to herein as the “Mandatory Conversion Time”).

 

(B) Procedural Requirements. All holders of record of shares of Class C Preferred Stock shall be sent written notice of the Mandatory Conversion Time and the place designated for mandatory conversion of all such shares of Class C Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4.2.2(f). Such notice need not be sent in advance of the occurrence of the Mandatory Conversion Time. Upon receipt of such notice, each holder of shares of Class C Preferred Stock shall surrender his, her or its certificate or certificates for all such shares (or, if such holder alleges that such certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit and agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made against the Company on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of such certificate) to the Company at the place designated in such notice. If so required by the Company, certificates surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed or accompanied by written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered holder or by his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. All rights with respect to the Class C Preferred Stock converted pursuant to Subsection 4.2.2(f), including the rights, if any, to receive notices and vote (other than as a holder of Common Stock), will terminate at the Mandatory Conversion Time (notwithstanding the failure of the holder or holders thereof to surrender the certificates at or prior to such time), except only the rights of the holders thereof, upon surrender of their certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) therefor, to receive the items provided for in the next sentence of this Subsection 4.2.2(f). As soon as practicable after the Mandatory Conversion Time and the surrender of the certificate or certificates (or lost certificate affidavit and agreement) for Class C Preferred Stock, the Company shall issue and deliver to such holder, or to his, her or its nominees, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable on such conversion in accordance with the provisions hereof, together with cash in lieu of any fraction of a share of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion and the payment of any declared but unpaid dividends on the shares of Class C Preferred Stock converted.”

 

3. Shareholder action was not required to adopt the foregoing amendments. The amendments were adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company without shareholder action on November 13, 2018.

EXCHANGE AGREEMENT

 

THIS EXCHANGE AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) is entered into as of the 15th day of November, 2018 between Arcimoto, Inc., an Oregon corporation (the “ Company ”), and Mark D. Frohnmayer (the “ Shareholder ”).

 

BACKGROUND

 

A. The Company previously issued shares of its common stock, no par value per shares (the “ Common Stock ”) to the Shareholder.

 

B. The Company has a limited number of unissued shares of Common Stock available to finance its operations.

 

C. The Company desires to market and sell shares of its Common Stock to investors in the near term, and the Shareholder desires to exchange shares of Common Stock that he owns to allow the Company to sell a meaningful number of shares of Common Stock to investors to finance the Company’s operations.

 

D. The Company has amended its Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A , in order to create a new class of Class C preferred stock with the rights, preferences and privileges set forth therein (the “ Class C Preferred Stock ”).

 

E. The Company and the Shareholder desire to exchange an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the “ Shares ”) for an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Class C Preferred Stock as set forth in Schedule 1 hereto (the “ Exchange Shares ”).

 

AGREEMENT

 

Now, therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned parties hereby agree as follows.

 

1. Exchange of Shares. The Shareholder is relinquishing all of his right, title and interest in and to the Shares. In consideration thereof, the Company is issuing and delivering to the Shareholder the Exchange Shares as set forth on Schedule 1 .

 

 

 

 

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company .

 

(a) The Company has full power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any of the terms of the articles of incorporation and bylaws of the Company or any applicable law relating to the Company, (ii) conflict with, or result in a breach of any of the terms of, or result in the acceleration of any indebtedness or obligations under, any material agreement, obligation or instrument by which the Company is bound or (iii) conflict with, or result in or constitute a default under or breach or violation of or grounds for termination of, any license, permit or other governmental authorization to which the Company is a party or by which the Company may be bound, or result in the violation by the Company of any laws to which the Company may be subject, which would materially adversely affect the transactions contemplated herein. No authorization, consent or approval of, notice to, or filing with, any public body or governmental authority or any other person is necessary or required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder.

 

(b) The Exchange Shares have been duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be validly issued and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

 

3. Representations and Warranties of Shareholder.

 

(a) The Shareholder has the right, power, legal capacity and authority to enter into and perform the Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement, and no approvals or consents are necessary in connection with it. All of the Shares are owned by the Shareholder free and clear of all liens, pledges, encumbrances or restrictions of any kind, nature or description.

 

(b) The Shareholder has received all the information he considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to exchange the Shares for the Exchange Shares. The Shareholder understands the risks involved in such an exchange and with an investment in the Exchange Shares. The Shareholder further represents that he has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereunder and the business, properties, prospects, and financial condition of the Company and to obtain such additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any information furnished to the Shareholder. The Shareholder further represents that he is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”).

 

(c) The Shareholder is acquiring the Exchange Shares for his own account for investment only and not with a view towards their resale or “distribution” (within the meaning of the Act).

 

(d) The Shareholder understands that the Exchange Shares have not been registered under the Act by reason of a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Shareholder’s investment intent as expressed herein. The Shareholder understands that the Exchange Shares may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Act and any other applicable securities laws or pursuant to an exemption therefrom, and in each case in compliance with the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Shareholder acknowledges and is aware that the Exchange Shares may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the Act unless certain conditions are met and until the Shareholder has held the Exchange Shares for the applicable holding period under Rule 144.

 

  2  

 

 

(e) The Shareholder has not relied on and is not relying on any representations, warranties or other assurances regarding the Company other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement.

 

(f) The Shareholder further acknowledges and understands that the Exchange Shares must be held indefinitely unless the Exchange Shares are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The Shareholder further acknowledges and understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Exchange Shares.

 

(g) The Shareholder is not subject to any order and is not bound by any contract or other instrument that might have an adverse effect on the Shareholder’s ability to comply with this Agreement and to deliver the Shares to the Company free of any liens, encumbrances, claims or restrictions, and there is no legal, administrative, regulatory or governmental proceeding or investigation (a “ Proceeding ”) pending, and no person or entity has threatened to commence any Proceeding, that may have such effect. No event has occurred, and no claim, dispute or other condition or circumstance exists, that might directly or indirectly give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such Proceeding against the Shareholder, the Shares held by the Shareholder or the Exchange Shares to be acquired by the Shareholder under this Agreement.

 

(h) The Shareholder has reviewed with the Shareholder’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign (if applicable) tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Shareholder is relying solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents. The Shareholder (and not the Company) shall be responsible for the Shareholder’s own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

4. Miscellaneous.
