On January 28, 2013 (the “Closing Date”), China Armco Metals, Inc. (the “Company”) completed a public offering of an aggregate of  $1.60 million shares of the Company’s common stock in a registered direct public offering (the “Offering”).  The shares offered in this Offering were sold by the Company directly to the investors.  No underwriter or agents was involved in connection with this Offering to solicit offers to purchase the shares.
 
On the Closing Date, the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Investors”) in connection with the Offering, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 3,242,712 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share to the Investors for aggregate gross proceeds, before deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, of approximately $1,621,356.  
 
The purchase and issuance of the securities in the Registered Direct Offering are completed on January 28, 2013.

The Offering was effected as a takedown off the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-184354), which became effective on December 14, 2012 (the “Registration Statement”), pursuant to a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 28, 2013.

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering, after deducting the estimated offering expenses are approximately $1.60 million. After the closing of the Offering, the Company has 23,484,288 shares of common stock outstanding.

A copy of the opinion of Anslow & Jaclin LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the shares in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.  The foregoing summaries of the terms of the Subscription Agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such document attached hereto as Exhibits 10, which is incorporated herein by reference. The form of the Subscription Agreement has been filed pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide interested persons with information regarding their terms, but is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company.  The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the form of the Subscription Agreement were made only for purposes of the Offering as of specific dates indicated therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to these agreements, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of these agreements.
