Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 30, 2021, the registration statement (File No. 333-260907) (the “Registration Statement”) relating to the initial public offering (“IPO”) of Roth CH Acquisition V Co. (the “Company”) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. In connection therewith, the Company entered into the following agreements previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:

 

  Underwriting Agreement, dated November 30, 2021, by and among the Company, Roth Capital Partners, LLC and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC;

 

  Warrant Agreement, dated November 30, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company;

 

  Letter Agreements, dated November 30, 2021, by and between the Company and each of the Company’s officers, directors and initial stockholders;

 

  Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated November 30, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company;

 

  Stock Escrow Agreement, dated November 30, 2021, by and among the Company, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and the initial stockholders of the Company;
     
  Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 30, 2021, by and among the Company and the initial stockholders of the Company;
     
  Subscription Agreement, dated November 30, 2021, by and among the Company and the initial stockholders of the Company party thereto;
     
  Indemnity Agreements, dated November 30, 2021, by and between the Company and each of the Company’s the directors and officers; and
     
  Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated November 30, 2021, by and among the Company, Roth Capital Partners, LLC and Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC.

 

On December 3, 2021, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,500,000 units (the “Units”), including 1,500,000 issued upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of the over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of common stock, $0.0001 par value (“Common Stock”), and one-half of one warrant (“Warrant”) entitling the holder of each whole Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per whole share. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000.

 

As of December 3, 2021, a total of $116,725,000 of the net proceeds from the IPO and the Private Placement (as defined below) were deposited in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders. An audited balance sheet as of December 3, 2021, reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement, will be filed within 4 business days of the consummation of the IPO.

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with initial stockholders of the Company of 461,500 units (the “Private Units”), generating total proceeds of $4,615,000.

  

Except with respect to certain registration rights and transfer restrictions, the Private Units are identical to the public Units sold as part of the IPO. The purchasers agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Units or underlying securities (except in limited circumstances, as described in the Registration Statement) until the completion of the Company’s initial business combination. Such purchasers were granted certain demand and piggyback registration rights in connection with the purchase of the Private Units.

 

The Private Units were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transactions did not involve a public offering.

 

 

 

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On November 30, 2021, in connection with the IPO, the Company filed its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Delaware Secretary of State. The terms of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation are set forth in the Registration Statement and are incorporated herein by reference.
