Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
March 27, 2018, Cardiz Inc. (the “Company” or “us” or “we”) entered into an At Market Issuance
Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley FBR, Inc. under which we may issue and sell shares of our common
stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $15,000,000 from time to time through B. Riley FBR acting as our sales agent
(the “Sales Agent”). We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Sales
Agreement for the development of the Cadiz Water Project, which may include funding a portion of the $20 million payment required
if we elect to exercise our option to acquire an additional 124-mile extension of our Northern Pipeline, business development
activities, capital expenditures, working capital and corporate purposes.
Sales of our common stock through the Sales Agent, if any, will
be made by any method that is deemed an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to make such offerings consistent with its normal trading
and sales practices. We will pay the Sales Agent an aggregate of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price per share
of common stock sold through the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement.
We are not obligated to make any sales of our common stock under
the Sales Agreement and no assurance can be given that we will sell any shares under the Sales Agreement, or, if we do, as to the
price or amount of shares that we will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place. The Sales Agreement will terminate
upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all of our common stock subject to the Sales Agreement, or (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement
as provided therein.
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K
and is incorporated herein by reference.
All statements in this report that are not historical facts
should be considered “Forward Looking Statements” within the meaning of the “Safe Harbor” provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance
or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified
by the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “may,” “will,” “should,”
“seek,” “approximately,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,”
“continue” or “anticipates” or similar expressions or words, or the negatives of those expressions or words.
Except as otherwise required by applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances, or any other reason, after the date of
this report.
