Material Changes
The primary material change is the execution of an underwriting agreement with ThinkEquity LLC on August 15, 2025. As of the filing date, no shares or warrants have been issued or sold; the transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions. The offering is expected to close on August 18, 2025.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Use of Proceeds: Net proceeds will be allocated to general corporate purposes, working capital, inventory management, servicing floorplan lines of credit, general and administrative expenses, and patent applications for E-Motion™ technology.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Consummation of the offering is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
- Investors may receive pre-funded warrants instead of common shares if the issuance would cause their beneficial ownership to exceed 4.99% (or 9.99% at election).
- The report explicitly states it does not constitute an offer to sell securities in jurisdictions where such an offer would be unlawful prior to registration.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the closing of the offering on or around August 18, 2025, and the actual net proceeds received after deducting the 6.5% underwriting fee and other expenses.
- Confirm the final number of common shares issued versus pre-funded warrants issued to determine immediate dilution.
- Monitor the exercise of the 15% over-allotment option by ThinkEquity LLC within the 45-day window.
- Review the full text of the Underwriting Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) and Pre-Funded Warrant (Exhibit 4.2) for specific terms regarding beneficial ownership limits and cashless exercise provisions.
- Assess the impact of the new equity issuance on the company's existing capital structure and cash runway for E-Motion™ development.
