From
June 8 to June 10, 2021, CN Energy Group. Inc., a British Virgin Islands company (the “Company”), entered into
certain subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with six investors (the “Purchasers”).
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and in reliance on Rule 902 of Regulation S (“Regulation S”) promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Company agreed to sell and the Purchasers agreed to purchase
an aggregate of 4,000,000 ordinary shares, no par value, of the Company (“Ordinary Shares”) at a price of $4.5 per share (the
“Private Placement”). The Purchasers represented that they were not residents of the United States and were not “U.S.
persons” as defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S and were not acquiring the Shares for the account or benefit of any U.S. person.
In
connection with the Subscription Agreements, from June 8 to June 10, 2021, the Company also entered into certain Registration
Rights Agreements (the “Registration Rights Agreements”) with the Purchasers. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements,
the Company agreed, among other things, on or prior to the Filing Date for the Initial Registration Statement, to prepare and file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities for an offering
to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415.
On
June 11, 2021, the Company closed the Private Placement and received gross proceeds, before deducting the Placement Agent’s
fees and other related offering expenses, of $18 million. The Ordinary Shares issued in the Private Placement are not subject to the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Regulation S promulgated thereunder. The management of the Company will have sole
and absolute discretion concerning the use of the proceeds from the Private Placement.
Network
1 Financial Securities, Inc. (the “Placement Agent”) acted as placement agent in the Private Placement, and the Company
paid the Placement Agent a commission equal to 4% of the gross proceeds and 1% of the gross proceeds as non-accountable expenses, pursuant
to a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agreement”) dated April 20, 2021. The commission and non-accountable expenses
were paid out of an escrow account pursuant to an Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) entered into by and among the
Company, the Placement Agent, and a certain escrow agent on April 20, 2021. The Company also paid the Placement Agent a commitment fee
in the amount of $75,000 upon signing the Placement Agreement.
The capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Subscription Agreements, Registration Rights Agreements, Placement Agreement, and Escrow Agreement. The foregoing
description of the Subscription Agreements, Registration Rights Agreements, Placement Agreement, and Escrow Agreement does not purport
to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text. Copies of such agreements are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1,
Exhibit 10.2, Exhibit 1.1, and Exhibit 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
