| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On September 11, 2013, Plug Power Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cowen and Company, LLC as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), related to the issuance and sale of 18,600,000 shares (the “Offering”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). The price to the public in this offering was $0.54 per share and the Underwriter will purchase the Common Stock from the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement at a price of $0.5049 per share, representing a 6.5% discount to the public offering price. The Company has granted the Underwriter the option to purchase, at the same price, up to an additional 2,790,000 shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments made in connection with the Offering, if any. The net proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $9.1 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated transaction expenses payable by the Company associated with the Offering.
The Offering is expected to close on September 16, 2013, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-173268) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and a prospectus supplement thereunder.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and agreements by the Company, and customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties, and termination provisions.
The Underwriting Agreement has been attached hereto as an exhibit to provide investors and security holders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of the Underwriting Agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Underwriting Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of the Underwriting Agreement.
A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Offering by the Company and the documentation related thereto does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Exhibit.
On September 10, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the launch of the Offering, and on September 11, 2013, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Offering. A copy of each such press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
