Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 16, 2017, Digital Power Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a subscription agreement with one investor (the “Direct Offering”) for the sale of 166,667 shares of common stock at $0.60 per share for the cancellation of debt in the amount of $100,000. The Company expects to close the Direct Offering on or about February 22, 2017.

 

The Direct Offering is being made pursuant to a prospectus filed with the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-215834), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 31, 2017 and declared effective by the Commission on February 8, 2017, and the prospectus supplement dated February 16, 2017.

 

The Subscription Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the investor signatories thereto, including closing conditions and termination provisions.

 

A copy of the opinion of Weintraub Tobin relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the shares in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. A copy of the form of Subscription Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing descriptions of the Offering by the Company and the documentation related thereto, including the form of the Subscription Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to such Exhibits.

 

The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company's previously filed and effective Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-215834), the base prospectus dated February 8, 2017 filed as part of such Registration Statement, and the prospectus supplement dated February 16, 2017, filed by the Company with the SEC. This 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.

 

The information contained in this Report is hereby incorporated by reference into the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-215834.

We act as counsel to Digital Power Corporation, a California corporation (the "Company"), in connection with: (i) preparing and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-333-215834) (such registration statement as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), as declared effective on February 8, 2017, and the prospectus of the Company included in the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”); and (ii) preparing and filing a prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus dated February 16, 2017 (the “Prospectus Supplement”), pertaining to the issuance and sale by the Company of up to 166,667 shares of common stock, no par value per share (“Common Stock”).

 

For the purpose of rendering this opinion, we examined originals or copies of such documents as deemed to be relevant. In conducting our examination, we assumed, without investigation, the genuineness of all signatures, the correctness of all certificates, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted as certified or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such copies, and the accuracy and completeness of all records made available to us by the Company. In addition, in rendering this opinion, we assumed that the Common Stock, will be offered in the manner and on the terms identified or referred to in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement, including all supplements and amendments thereto.

 

Our opinion is limited solely to matters set forth herein. The law covered by the opinions expressed herein is limited to the federal law of the United States, and laws of the State of California.

 

Based upon and subject to the foregoing, after giving due regard to such issues of law as we deemed relevant, and assuming that the Registration Statement remains effective, and the Base Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement delivery requirements with respect thereto, fulfill all of the requirements of the Securities Act throughout all periods relevant to the opinion, we are of the opinion that the Common Stock has been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued, delivered and paid for in accordance with in accordance with and in the manner described in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, the Common Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

We hereby consent in writing to the use of our opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, Base Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment thereto. By giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we come within the category of persons where consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

Sincerely,
