Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 24, 2020, Arcimoto, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Securities
Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors pursuant to which the
Company agreed to issue in a registered direct offering an aggregate of
1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per share, at a
purchase price per share of $15.25 for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately
$15.25 million (the "Offering"). The Securities Purchase Agreement includes
customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general
corporate purposes, including to cover the Company's operating expenses and
inventory.
Pursuant to an engagement letter agreement (the "Engagement Agreement"), dated
November 23, 2020, by and between the Company and The Special Equities Group, a
division of Bradley Woods & Co. Ltd. (the "Placement Agent"), the Company
engaged the Placement Agent to act as its exclusive agent for the Offering.
Pursuant to the Engagement Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Placement
Agent a cash fee equal to 5.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company in
the Offering, totaling approximately $838,750.
The Company offered the shares in the Offering pursuant to the Company's
registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-227683) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and declared effective by
the Commission on October 17, 2018. A prospectus supplement relating to the
shares of common stock offered pursuant to the Offering was filed with the
Commission on November 24, 2020 (the "Prospectus Supplement").
Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued a
legal opinion with respect to the legality of the issuance and sale of the
shares in the Offering (the "Legal Opinion"). A copy of the Legal Opinion, and
the consent included therein, is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as
Exhibit 5.1.
The foregoing descriptions of the Engagement Agreement, the Securities Purchase
Agreement and the Legal Opinion are qualified by reference to the full text of
such agreements which are attached to this report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 1.1,
10.1 and 5.1, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference in their
entirety.

to buy, and these securities cannot be sold in any state or jurisdiction in
which this offer, solicitation, or sale would unlawful prior to registration or
