Closing of $25.0 Million Private Placement of Common Stock: On February 24, 2021 the Company announced that it had closed its definitive securities purchase agreements with a group of investors, which resulted in gross proceeds to Pyxis Tankers of $25.0 million, before deducting placement offering expenses. Pyxis Tankers issued 14,285,715 shares of common stock at a price of $1.75 per share. The Company will use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of outstanding indebtedness and potential vessel acquisitions. The securities offered and sold by Pyxis Tankers in the private placement were subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), under a resale registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and became effective on March 11, 2021. Any resale of Pyxis Tankers’ shares under such resale registration statement will be made only by means of a prospectus.
