    Item 8.01Other Events

    On October 1, 2024, Empire Petroleum Corporation (the “Company”) announced the launch of a $10.0 million registered rights offering. Under the terms of the rights offering, the Company will grant, at no charge, to each stockholder as of the close of business on the record date of September 30, 2024, one non-transferable subscription right for each whole share of common stock owned by that stockholder on the record date. Each subscription right will entitle a rights holder to purchase 0.063 shares of the Company’s common stock at a subscription price equal to $5.05 per whole share (subject to rounding down to avoid the issuance of fractional shares). The rights offering will also include an oversubscription privilege, which will entitle stockholders who fully exercise their subscription rights the right to purchase at the same exercise price additional shares of common stock in the rights offering that other stockholders do not purchase, subject to availability and pro-rata allocation of shares among rights holders exercising such oversubscription privilege. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in the rights offering. The subscription rights will expire if they are not exercised by 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on October 16, 2024 (unless extended). More details of the rights offering are set forth in a prospectus supplement dated, and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2024.

     

    Certain documents related to the rights offering are filed as Exhibits 99.1 through 99.5 hereto. In addition, on October 1, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the commencement of the rights offering. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.6 hereto.

     

    This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
