ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT
Effective May 16, 2012, FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation (NYSE/AMEX: FPP) (the Company) executed an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with MLV & Co. LLC (MLV) providing for, inter alia, an at-the-market offering of securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act). A copy of the Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1. The following summary of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement.
Pursuant to the Agreement, upon delivery of a placement notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Company may issue and sell up to 900,000 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value (Offered Securities), from time to time through MLV, as agent (the Offering). MLV may sell the common stock by methods deemed to be an at-the-market offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Sales may be made directly on the NYSE MKT, LLC, formerly known as the NYSE Amex, on any other existing trading market, or any other method permitted by law, including privately negotiated transactions at prevailing market prices, subject to the prior written approval of the Company. MLV will act as the Companys sales agent on a commercially reasonable efforts basis consistent with its normal trading and sales practices.
The Company will pay MLV a commission equal to 7% of the gross sales price per share sold. The Company has also agreed to reimburse MLV for certain expenses. The Company has also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to MLV against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Either the Company or MLV can terminate the Offering upon notice subject to certain conditions. Unless otherwise terminated, the Offering will end upon the earlier of the sale of all of the Offered Securities or the two-year anniversary of the date of the Agreement.
