Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 30, 2022, Oxbridge Re Holdings Limited (the “Company”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Offering Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC, as sales agent (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company could offer and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agent up to $6,300,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares, $0.001 par value (“Ordinary Shares”). The expiration date of the Offering Agreement is the earlier of (i) the issuance and sale of the Ordinary Shares having an aggregate offering price equal to $6,300,000, or (ii) the termination of the Offering Agreement by either the Sales Agent or the Company, in each such party’s sole discretion, upon the provision of thirty (30) days’ written notice. The Company will pay the Sales Agent a commission equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Ordinary Shares sold by the Sales Agent pursuant to the Offering Agreement.
Sales of the Ordinary Shares under the Offering Agreement, if any, may be made in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation sales made directly on or through the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other existing trading market for the Ordinary Shares. The Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the Ordinary Shares from time to time, based upon instructions from the Company (including any price, time or amount limits the Company may impose). The Company is not obligated to make any sales under the Offering Agreement.
The foregoing description of the material terms of the Offering Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Offering Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Ordinary Shares were registered pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-262590) (the “Registration Statement”), and offerings of the Ordinary Shares will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities law of such state or jurisdiction.
Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP, Cayman Islands counsel to the Company, has issued a legal opinion relating to the Ordinary Shares. A copy of such legal opinion, including the consent included therein, is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida as a Category 4 hurricane causing catastrophic flooding and damage. The Company estimates, as of September 30, 2022, that the maximum impact to its capital relating to the expected underwriting losses from Hurricane Ian is expected to be $500,000. The Company’s estimate is preliminary and is based on the amount of capital at risk and preliminary industry assessments of damages and exposure. Accordingly, the Company’s actual ultimate net loss from Ian may be lower (but not higher) than this preliminary estimate.
