On January 21, 2020, Global Water Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) closed an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 870,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”). The Shares were issued and sold pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated January 16, 2020, by and between the Company and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Underwriter”), at a public offering price per share of $12.50. The Company will receive net proceeds of approximately $10.0 million from the Offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. In addition, the Company has granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 130,000 shares of its common stock at the public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
