Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On March 27, 2026, LM Funding America, Inc. (the "Company") entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the "ATM Agreement") with Maxim Group LLC (the "Agent"), pursuant to which the Company may, from time to time, offer and sell shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), having an aggregate offering price of up to US$75,000,000 (the "Shares"), through the Agent, acting as sales agent. The Shares to be sold under the ATM Agreement, if any, will be issued and sold pursuant to the Company's shelf registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-281528), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 13, 2024 (the "Registration Statement") and was declared effective on November 21, 2024. A prospectus supplement related to the Company's at the market offering program with the Agent under the ATM Agreement was filed with the SEC on March 27, 2026.
Sales of the Shares, if any, pursuant to the ATM Agreement may be made by any method permitted by law to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Each time the Company wishes to issue and sell Shares under the ATM Agreement, it will notify the Agent of the maximum number or dollar amount of Shares to be sold by the Agent, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number or dollar amount of Shares that may be sold in any one day, and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Once the Company has so instructed the Agent, unless the sale of the Shares described in the notice has been declined, suspended, or otherwise terminated, the Agent has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Shares up to the amount specified on such terms. The obligation of the Agent under the ATM Agreement to sell Shares is subject to a number of conditions that the Company must meet.
The Company will pay the Agent a cash transaction fee equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price of the Shares sold under the ATM Agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close the offering, the actual total public offering amount, transaction fees and proceeds to the Company, if any, are not determinable at this time. In addition, the Company has agreed to reimburse the Agent for its reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the ATM Agreement, including the fees and disbursements of its legal counsel, in an amount not to exceed $50,000 without the approval of the Company, in addition to certain ongoing disbursements of its legal counsel. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Agent against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Company has also agreed to contribute to payments the Agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the ATM Agreement, and the Company or the Agent may suspend sales of the Shares under the ATM Agreement upon proper notice to the other party. The ATM Agreement will remain in full force and effect, unless (i) terminated by the Company or the Agent as permitted in the ATM Agreement or (ii) terminated by the mutual agreement of the Company and the Agent. The Company may terminate the provisions of the ATM Agreement relating to the solicitation of offers to purchase the Shares at any time upon ten business days' prior written notice. The Agent may terminate the provisions of the ATM Agreement, by giving written notice in accordance with the ATM Agreement.
This description of the ATM Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the ATM Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
