Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 11, 2015, Energy Focus, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (the “Representative”), as representative of the underwriters listed in Schedule I thereto (the “Underwriters”), and the selling stockholders listed on Schedule II thereto (the “Selling Stockholders”). The Underwriting Agreement relates to an underwritten public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Shares”) by the Company and the Selling Stockholders at a public offering price of $17.00 per Share (the “Offering”). Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company agreed to sell 1,500,000 Shares and the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell an additional 1,500,000 Shares to the Underwriters at a purchase price of $15.98 per Share. The Company and the Selling Stockholders also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 450,000 Shares on a pro-rata basis.

The net proceeds to the Company are estimated to be $23.7 million, after giving effect to underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses of the Offering. The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of Shares by the Selling Stockholders.

The Underwriting Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company and Selling Stockholders. It also includes customary indemnification and contribution provisions. The closing of the Offering is expected to take place on or about September 16, 2015, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
