Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

On November 22, 2020, AYRO, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”) an aggregate of 1,650,164 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an offering price of $6.06 per share, for gross proceeds of approximately $10 million before the deduction of fees and offering expenses. The Shares are being offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-227858) (the “Shelf Registration Statement”), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 16, 2018, and declared effective by the SEC on November 9, 2018.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement”), the Company agreed to issue to the Purchasers, unregistered series A warrants to purchase up to 1,237,624 shares of Common Stock (the “Series A Warrants”) and unregistered a series B warrants to purchase up to 825,084 shares of Common Stock (the “Series B Warrants,” and together with the Series A Warrants, the “Warrants”). The Series A Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and terminate six months following issuance and are exercisable at an exercise price of $8.09 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. The Series B Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and terminate five years following issuance and are exercisable at an exercise price of $8.90 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. A holder of either Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Series A Warrants or Series B Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%. In addition, subject to certain limitations, the Company has a call right with respect to the Warrants.

The Warrants and the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants are not being registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), are not being offered pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.

The closing of the Offering and Private Placement are subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement and is expected to occur on or about November 24, 2020. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is filed with this report only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of transaction, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting fees and expenses and the Company’s estimated offering expenses, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Warrants, are expected to be approximately $9,225,000. The Company currently intends to use these net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The legal opinion of Haynes and Boone, LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The description of the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Series A Warrant and the Series B Warrant set forth herein do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of the Purchase Agreement, the Series A Warrant and the Series B Warrant, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 4.1 and 4.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
