On January 26, 2021 (the "Closing Date"), COMSovereign Holding Corp. (the
"Company") sold an aggregate of 3,855,422 units at a price to the public of
$4.15 per unit (the "Offering"), each unit consisting of one share of the
Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), and a
warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $4.50 per
share (the "Warrants"), pursuant to that certain Underwriting Agreement, dated
as of January 21, 2021 (the "Underwriting Agreement"), between the Company and
Kingswood Capital Markets, division of Benchmark Investments, Inc., as
representative (the "Representative") of the several underwriters named in the
Underwriting Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the
Company granted the Representative a 45-day option to purchase up to 578,312
additional shares of Common Stock, and/or 578,312 additional Warrants, to cover
over-allotments in connection with the Offering, which the Representative
partially exercised to purchase 578,312 Warrants on the Closing Date.
The Common Stock and the Warrants were offered and sold to the public pursuant

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), on August 28, 2020,
as amended, and which became effective on January 21, 2021.
On the Closing Date, the Company received gross proceeds of approximately
$16,000,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of eight
percent (8%) of the gross proceeds and estimated Offering expenses, and intends
to use the net proceeds from the Offering primarily for the repayment of
outstanding indebtedness, the acquisition of new companies or products,
inventory production and marketing, operating expenses, working capital and
general corporate purposes. The Company issued a press release announcing the
closing of the offering, which has been filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
On January 27, 2021, the Representative exercised its over-allotment option to
purchase 329,815 additional shares of Common Stock, which is expected to close
on January 29, 2021. The Company will receive net proceeds of approximately
$1,256,000 from the sale of such shares, after deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions, and intends to use such net proceeds for the repayment of
outstanding indebtedness, inventory production and marketing, working capital
and general corporate purposes.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, and
covenants by the Company. It also provides for customary indemnification by each
of the Company and the underwriters for losses or damages arising out of or in
connection with the offering, including for liabilities under the Securities
Act, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.

Representative warrants (the "Representative's Warrants") to purchase up to a
total of 154,216 shares of Common Stock (4% of the shares of Common Stock sold

the Offering, including a mandatory lock-up period in accordance with FINRA Rule
