Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On February 9, 2012, Array entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Jefferies & Company, Inc., as representative of the several Underwriters named therein (collectively, the “Underwriters”).  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, Array agreed to sell to the Underwriters, and the Underwriters agreed to purchase from Array, an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of Array’s authorized but previously unissued common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $2.60 per share.  The net proceeds to Array from this Common Stock offering are expected to be approximately $48.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by Array.  Array has also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any.  The Underwriters’ obligations to purchase the shares is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including receipt of legal opinions and approval of legal matters by their respective counsels.  Array has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or to contribute to the payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of these liabilities.

 

The closing of the sale of 20,000,000 of the shares is scheduled to occur on or about February 14, 2012.  The shares have been registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-178162) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act on November 23, 2011.

 

The foregoing summary of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

The press release announcing the pricing of the public offering is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
