Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On June 4, 2007, Akeena Solar, Inc. (“Akeena”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement among Akeena and the purchasers signatory thereto, dated as of May 25, 2007, pursuant to which it sold (i) 4,567,270 shares of its common stock and (ii) three-year warrants to purchase 913,455 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.95 per share. Akeena received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $12.6 million from the sale of the common stock and warrants. The common stock and warrants were offered solely to “accredited investors” in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Empire Financial Group (“Empire”) acted as placement agent with respect to the offering and received a cash fee equal to $633,850 and warrants to purchase 376,800 shares of Akeena’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.95 per share. Westminster Securities Corp. also received a finder’s fee of $21,000 and warrants to purchase 7,636 shares of Akeena’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share.
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement, Akeena agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants no later than 30 days from the closing of the offering and to have such registration statement declared effective no later than 90 days from the closing of the offering. If Akeena does not timely file the registration statement or cause it to be declared effective by the required dates, then each investor in the offering shall be entitled to liquidated damages equal to 1% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such investor for the securities, and an additional 1% for each month that Akeena does not file the registration statement or cause it to be declared effective. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall liquidated damages exceed 9% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the offering.
The foregoing is not a complete summary of the terms of the offering described in this Item 3.02, and reference is made to the complete text of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Form of Warrant attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3.
