Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 10, 2021, Scientific Energy, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with multiple accredited investors (the “Purchasers”) to sell and issue to the Purchasers in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, an aggregate of 17,084,148 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”) at a price of $0.50 per Share (the “Offering”). Proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares were $8,542,074. The Offering closed simultaneously with execution of the Purchase Agreement.
A form of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
The information contained in Item 1.01 above with respect to the Offering of the Shares is incorporated by this reference into this Item 3.02. The Shares were offered and sold in reliance upon exemptions from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) under the Securities Act and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder. The Purchase Agreement executed in connection therewith contain representations to support the Company’s reasonable belief that, among other things, the Purchasers had access to information concerning its operations and financial condition, that the Purchasers acquired the Shares for their own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and that each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Shares described in Item 1.01 above are deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act and the certificates representing the Shares shall bear legends to that effect. Accordingly, the Shares sold in the Offering may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
