Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 10, 2020, we entered into a Placement
Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLP (the “Placement Agent”)
pursuant to which the Placement Agent is serving as the placement agent for the Company, on a commercially reasonable “best
efforts” basis, in connection with the proposed placement (the “Placement”) of 10,000,000 of our common shares
(the “Shares”) pursuant to a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). Under the Placement Agency Agreement,
the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 6.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. The Placement Agency
Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnification by the Company and provides for the reimbursement
of up to US$60,000 in expenses incurred by the Placement Agent in connection with the Offering.
On June 10, 2020, we entered into securities
purchase agreements with accredited investors (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) for the sale of the Shares at
a price per share of US$2.00 for aggregate gross proceeds of US$20.0 million. The Securities Purchase Agreements contain customary
representations, warranties and agreements by us, customary conditions to closing, indemnification and other obligations of the
parties and termination provisions. The Offering is scheduled to close on or about June 12, 2020, subject to the satisfaction of
customary closing conditions.
We expect to receive approximately US$18.64
million in net proceeds, after the Placement Agent’s fees and reimbursements but before other expenses. We expect to use
the net proceeds of the Offering for sales and marketing expenditures, capital expenditures, further product development, operational
expenditures and for general corporate and working capital purposes. The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s
existing shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-227883), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) on October 18, 2018 and declared effective by the SEC on October 31, 2018.
Each of the Placement Agency Agreement
and the form of the Securities Purchase Agreement is included as an exhibit to this Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K
to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. The representations, warranties and covenants contained
in the Placement Agency Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreements were made only for purposes of such respective agreements
and as of a specific date, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such respective agreements and may be subject to limitations
agreed upon by the contracting parties.
On June 10, 2020, our directors and executive
officers entered into lock up agreements with Roth Capital Partners restricting the ability of such directors and executive officers
to sell or otherwise transfer their equity securities in our company.
The foregoing description of the Placement
Agency Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreements and the lock up agreements does not purport to be complete and are qualified
in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Placement Agency Agreement, form of Securities Purchase Agreement and the
form of the lock up agreement, which are filed as Exhibit 10.1, Exhibit 10.2 and Exhibit 10.3 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated
herein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 10, 2020, we issued a press release
announcing that we have entered into definitive agreements with institutional investors to purchase an aggregate of 10,000,000
of our common shares at a price of US$2.00 per share for gross proceeds of US$20,000,000 (the “Offering”). The Offering
was priced “at market” under the rules of the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The closing of the Offering is expected
to take place on or about June 12, 2020, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
A copy of the press release is attached
as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The information in this Report of Foreign
Private Issuer on Form 6-K and the exhibits hereto are incorporated by reference into (i) our registration statement on Form F-3
