INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

 

On March 8, 2023, EZGO Technologies Ltd., a British Virgin Islands business company (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the purchasers listed on the signature pages thereto (the “Purchasers”), in connection with the offer and sale (the “Offering”) of an aggregate of 18,000,000 ordinary shares, par value US$0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Ordinary Shares”). The purchase price per Ordinary Share is $0.80. The sale of the Ordinary Shares is being made pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-263315) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 4, 2022 and declared effective on November 30, 2022, and the prospectus contained therein, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated March 9, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023.

 

The Offering is expected to close on or around March 15, 2023. The gross proceeds from the Offering are expected to be $14,400,000. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the growth of its business in China, primarily working capital, and for general corporate purposes, as well as to acquire or invest in technologies, products and/or businesses that it believes will enhance its value.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company and the Purchasers, and indemnification obligations of the Company against certain liabilities, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreement and are not intended as a document for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the Company. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC.

 

The legal opinion of Maples and Calder relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Ordinary Shares in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 to this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K. The legal opinion of DeHeng Law Offices regarding certain legal matters as to the laws of the People’s Republic of China is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K
