Item 1.01. | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 24, 2022, Rekor Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”) to create an at the market equity program under which the Company from time to time may offer and sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 (the “Shares”) through or to the Agent.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company’s instructions. The Company has provided the Agent with customary indemnification rights, and the Agent will be entitled to a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of the Shares.
Sales of the Shares, if any, under the Sales Agreement may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares and may at any time suspend offers under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement.
This description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sales Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
The Shares to be sold under the Sales Agreement, if any, will be issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No 333-259447), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 10, 2021 and declared effective by the SEC on September 23, 2021. A prospectus supplement related to the Company’s at the market equity program has been filed with the SEC on February 24, 2022. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the 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 other jurisdiction.
The legal opinion of Crowell & Moring LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
