| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 14, 2024, Pangaea Logistics Solutions Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an at market issuance sales agreement (the “At Market Issuance Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc., Fearnley Securities, Inc. and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners as sales agents (each, a “Sales Agent” and collectively, the “Sales Agents”), to sell shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”) having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $25,000,000 (the “Shares”), from time to time, through an “at-the-market” offering program (the “Offering”).
Under the At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, the Sales Agents may sell the Shares by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Sales Agents’ obligations to sell the Shares under the At Market Issuance Sales Agreement are subject to satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the At Market Issuance Sales Agreement.
The At Market Issuance Sales Agreement provides that the Sales Agents will be entitled to compensation for their services in the form of a commission up to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale of the Shares, and the Company has agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents for certain specified expenses. The Company has also agreed to provide the Sales Agents with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The sales and issuances of the Shares under the At Market Issuance Sales Agreement will be made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 14, 2024, after it is made effective by the SEC.
The foregoing description of the At Market Issuance Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, incorporated by reference to the shelf registration statement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities under the At Market Issuance Sales Agreement, nor shall there be any sale of such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
Forward-Looking Statements
Matters discussed in this Current Report on Form 8-K may constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and observations with respect to future events and financial performance. Where the Company expresses an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis.
However, the Company’s forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected, or implied by those forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including changes in the Company’s financial resources and operational capabilities and as a result of certain other factors listed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
