Zapp EV secures commitment of up to $10M for i300 Electric Urban Motorcycle

Zapp Electric Vehicles Group announced it has entered into a standby equity purchase agreement with an affiliate of Yorkville Advisors Global. Zapp EV will use proceeds from the transaction primarily to start the production and commercial rollout of the i300, the brand’s high-performance electric urban motorcycle. The Company anticipates making initial deliveries of the i300 in Europe in the months ahead, followed by commercial launch of the i300 in Asian markets in late 2024. Per the SEPA, the Investor has agreed to advance $1.5 million to Zapp in two tranches once conditions precedent have been met, including the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 and the filing and effectiveness of an SEC registration statement registering the resale of shares issuable under the SEPA. Thereafter, subject to certain limitations, Zapp EV will have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to issue and sell to the Investor up to a further $8.5 million worth of its ordinary shares, based on the Company’s funding requirements and evolving share price during the three-year period following effectiveness of an applicable SEC registration statement.
