Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 1, 2020, Envision Solar International, Inc. (the "Company"), entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with Maxim Group LLC, as representative for the several underwriters listed therein (the "Underwriters"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Underwriters in an underwritten public offering (the "Offering") an aggregate of 1,212,121 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the "Common Stock"). Each share of Common Stock is being offered and sold to the public for a public offering price of $8.25 per share.

The Company intends to use the aggregate net proceeds of the offering primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has granted the Underwriters an option for a period of 45 days to purchase up to an additional 181,818 shares from the Company at the public offering price, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions to cover over-allotments, if any. On July 6, 2020, the Underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 181,779 shares of Common Stock.

With the exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment to purchase an additional 181,779 shares of Common Stock, the Company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $10,600,000 after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company. The Offering is expected to close on July 7, 2020, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Maxim Group LLC is acting as the sole book-running manager of the Offering and Joseph Gunnar & Co. is acting as co-manager for the offering.

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, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, certain officers and directors of the Company have entered into "lock-up" agreements, subject to certain exceptions, with the Underwriters that generally prohibit the sale, transfer, or other disposition of securities of the Company for a period of 90 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement.

The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company's effective "shelf" registration statement on Form S-3 and an accompanying prospectus (Registration No. 333-238701) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 26, 2020 and declared effective by the SEC on June 4, 2020, as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on July 1, 2020 and a final prospectus filed with the SEC on July 6, 2020.

A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits, which are incorporated by reference. A copy of the legal opinion of Weintraub Tobin Chediak Coleman Grodin Law Corporation relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares being sold in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreement and are not intended as a document for investors or the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to that document. Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company's filings with the SEC, including the Prospectus Supplements.
