Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Sales Agreement

On August 28, 2020, CounterPath Corporation (the "Company") entered into a sales agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, as sales agent (the "Agent"), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell, from time to time, through or to the Agent, as sales agent and/or principal (the "Offering") up to $5,000,000 in shares of its common stock (the "Shares"). Any Shares offered and sold in the Offering will be issued pursuant to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236604) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on February 24, 2020 and declared effective on February 28, 2020 (the "Form S-3"), the base prospectus dated February 28, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 2, 2020 and the prospectus supplement dated August 28, 2020 filed with the SEC on August 8, 2020 relating to the Offering.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Agent agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares from time to time, based upon the Company's instructions. Under the Sales Agreement, the Agent may sell the Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act").

The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares, and may at any time suspend offers under the Sales Agreement. The Offering will terminate upon (a) the election of the Agent upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, (b) ten business days' advance notice from one party to the other, or (c) the sale of all of the Shares.

Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Agent will be entitled to a commission at a fixed rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of Shares under the Sales Agreement. The Company will also reimburse the Agent for certain expenses incurred in connection with the Sales Agreement, and agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agent with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company currently intends to use any net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of indebtedness, increasing the Company's working capital or financing acquisitions and capital expenditures.

A copy of the Sales Agreement is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Sales Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and the Agent that are customary for transactions of this type. The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit.

A copy of the opinion of Clark Wilson LLP relating to the legality of the Shares in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 of this current report on Form 8-K.

This current report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the Shares in any state or country in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or country.
