Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Extension of Lobo Note

 

On June 30, 2021, Blue Star Foods Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), issued a replacement unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 (the “Lobo Note”) to Lobo Holdings, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Lobo”), and a stockholder of the Company, which served to extend the maturity date of an unsecured promissory note the Company originally issued to Lobo on January 1, 2021, from June 30, 2021 to September 30, 2021. The Lobo Note, which bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum, may be prepaid in whole or in part without penalty.

 

The foregoing description of the Lobo Note is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lobo Note, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1.

 

Payoff of Debt to Kenar

 

On July 6, 2021, the Company entered into a note payoff indemnity agreement (the “Kenar Payoff Agreement”) with Kenar Overseas Corp., a company registered in Panama (“Kenar”), pursuant to which the Company paid Kenar $918,539.32 of principal and accrued interest in full satisfaction of the amounts due to Kenar under the Second Loan Amendment, dated April 26, 2021, between the Company and Kenar. At the time the payment was made to Kenar, the 4,000,000 shares pledged by John Keeler, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, to secure the obligations of the Company to Kenar, were released.

 

The foregoing description of the Kenar Payoff Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Kenar Payoff Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

 

Entry into Subscription Agreements

 

On June 30, 2021, the Company entered into subscription agreements (“Subscription Agreements”) with certain purchasers (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company sold the Purchasers an aggregate of 598,750 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $2.00 per Share (the “Purchase Price”), for gross proceeds to the Company of $1,197,500.

 

All of the Purchasers were “accredited investors,” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

 

The Company intends to utilize the net proceeds from the sales of the Shares for the acquisition of a land-based salmon farm, to purchase more crabmeat, to repay certain of the Company’s debt, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

 

 

In connection with the purchase of the Shares by the Purchasers, the Company issued each Purchaser warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”) equal to the number of Shares purchased by such Purchaser, at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. As a result, the Company issued Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 598,750 Warrant Shares to the Purchasers. The Warrants are exercisable for cash only, for a term of three years from the date of issuance. The number of Warrant Shares to be deliverable upon exercise of the Warrants is subject to adjustment for subdivision or consolidation of shares and other standard dilutive events.

 

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, the Company granted the Purchasers piggyback registration rights with respect to Shares and Warrant Shares (the “Registrable Securities”), requiring the Company to register the Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed by the Company within two years from the date of the issuance of the Registrable Securities to the Purchasers, subject to certain limitations.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Subscription Agreement and the Warrant are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the forms of the Subscription Agreement and the Warrant, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Section 3 – Securities and Trading Markets

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

 

Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 1.01 above with respect to the entry into the Subscription Agreements, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The issuances of the Shares and Warrants were, and, upon exercise of the Warrants, the issuances of the Warrants Shares will be, exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under of the Securities Act, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. At the time of their issuance, the Shares and the Warrants were deemed to be restricted securities for purpose of the Act and will bear restrictive legends to that effect.
