On November 20, 2017, Recon Technology, Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Yongquan Bi (“Mr. Bi.”), pursuant to which Mr. Bi agreed to purchase an aggregate of 3 million unregistered restricted shares for $4.8 million, a per-share purchase price of $1.60. The purchase price marks a premium of 12.6% over the closing price of $1.4207 per share on November 17, 2017, the last day before entry into the Agreement.

 

The purchase price will be paid in two installments of $2.4 million each. The first installment was paid on November 20, 2017, and the second installment will be paid on or before January 20, 2018. The shares will be issued on the earlier of the date of the second installment or January 20, 2018; provided, however, that the number of shares will be reduced in the event Mr. Bi fails to pay all of the purchase price on or before the second due date.

 

In addition to being unregistered, the shares will be restricted pursuant to the terms of a lock-up, which prohibits the sale, gift, pledge or other transfer or assignment until January 20, 2020.
