• Committed Equity Financing Established

  Rubico Inc. entered into a Common Share Purchase Agreement with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (BRPC II) to potentially sell up to $50 million of its common shares over a 36-month period, at the company's discretion.

• Massive Potential Share Dilution

  The F-1 registers up to 50 million common shares for resale by BRPC II. With 767,786 shares currently outstanding, this represents a potential dilution of over 6500% for existing shareholders, or the new shares would constitute approximately 98.5% of the total outstanding shares if fully issued.

• Discounted Share Pricing

  Shares sold to BRPC II under the agreement will be priced at a 3% discount to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) on the purchase date.

• Significant Fees and Reimbursements

  The company will pay BRPC II a $500,000 commitment fee (1% of the total commitment) and reimburse up to $215,000 for legal and qualified independent underwriter fees.

Rubico Inc. has filed an F-1 registration statement for a committed equity financing facility, allowing it to sell up to $50 million of common shares to B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (BRPC II) over a 36-month period. Additionally, the filing registers up to 50 million common shares for resale by BRPC II. This represents a substantial potential capital raise for the company, but also a massive potential dilution for existing common shareholders. With only 767,786 shares currently outstanding, the issuance of 50 million new shares would result in over 6500% dilution to existing shareholders. The shares sold to BRPC II will be at a 3% discount to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP). This highly dilutive financing, coupled with a $500,000 commitment fee and legal reimbursements, comes shortly after the company's 1-for-10 reverse stock split on April 9, 2026, indicating a significant need for capital and potentially negating the positive effects of the split for common shareholders. The company will not receive proceeds from BRPC II's resales, only from direct sales to BRPC II, which will be used for general corporate purposes, debt repayment, and fleet expansion.
