Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On December 22, 2021, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Charge Enterprises, Inc. (sometimes referred to herein as “we,” “us,” “our” or similar terms), Charge Infrastructure, Inc. (“Buyer”) entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to acquire (the “BW Acquisition”) all of the membership interests of B W Electrical Services LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (“Target”) from its three members, Stephanie Wojtowicz, Michael S. Wojtowicz and Robert J. Wojtowicz (collectively, the “Sellers”). Target, founded in 2006 and headquartered in New Jersey, is an electrical contracting services firm specializing in commercial projects with a focus on ground-up construction.
 
On December 27, 2021, we completed the BW Acquisition. In connection with the BW Acquisition, we paid the Sellers an aggregate cash amount of $13,500,000 plus 1,285,714 shares of our Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. A portion of the cash consideration was placed in escrow to satisfy certain obligations of the Sellers as described in the Purchase Agreement.
 
The securities sold pursuant to the Purchase Agreement were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The cash consideration was funded through a recently completed financing with certain funds affiliated with Arena Investors LP, as described in Item 1.01 of that Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 23, 2021.
 
The foregoing descriptions of the BW Acquisition, the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an Exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
 
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreements and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein by reference only to provide information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement, and not to provide any other factual information regarding us or our business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in our periodic reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
