Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 10, 2014, Cadiz Inc. (the “Company”) entered into definitive Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an investor (the “Investor”), relating to a registered offering (the “Offering”) of 100,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), to the Investor. The Shares were sold at a price of $10.1751 per share, yielding estimated proceeds to the Company of $1,017,510. The offering price per share was determined by reference to the recent volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock. The offering and issuance of the Shares were made pursuant to an effective Registration Statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-190288.
A copy of the form of Purchase Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference. The description of the material terms of the Purchase Agreement contained in this Current Report is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 10.1.
Item 8.01 Other Events
The closing of the Offering occurred on November 14, 2014. Together with the closing on November 12, 2014 of the previously-disclosed registered offering of shares of the Company’s Common Stock pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 7, 2014 between the Company and the investor party thereto, the Company issued 1,290,000 shares of Common Stock for estimated proceeds of $13,055,879.
As previously disclosed, the Company is also offering up to 338,869 shares of Common Stock to certain holders of the Company’s convertible debt securities, on the same terms as the Offering, pursuant to existing participation rights provided for those securities.
