Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Securities Purchase Agreement
On July 22, 2024, CBL International Limited (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) for a private placement (the “Private Placement”) with an accredited investor (the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Buyer has agreed to purchase 2,500,000 Ordinary Shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.55 per share (the “Securities”).
The Private Placement is expected to close on or about August 30, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company anticipates receiving gross proceeds from the Private Placement of approximately $1.375 million before deducting any offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to fund network development, alternative energy and biofuel supply development, future acquisitions as well as working capital and general corporate purposes.
The foregoing description of the Securities Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by references to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated July 22, 2024 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Buyer requiring the Company to file a registration statement with respect to the resale of the Shares. The Company is required to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 30 days following the closing of the Private Placement, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable.
The Company has granted the Buyer customary indemnification rights in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement. The Buyer has also granted the Company customary indemnification rights in connection with the Registration Statement.
The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by references to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 3.02. | Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities. |

Based in part upon the representations of the Buyer in the Securities Purchase Agreement, the offering and sale of the Securities is being made in reliance on the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities or “blue sky” laws. The offer and sale of the Securities will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and the Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the SEC or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
