EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

On August 13, 2020, Pyxis Tankers Inc. (the “Company”) filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form F-1 (File No. 333-245405) (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Form F-1 filed with the SEC on August 25, 2020, Amendment No. 2 to Form F-1 filed with the SEC on September 4, 2020, and Amendment No. 3 to Form F-1 filed with the SEC on September 28, 2020, the “Registration Statement”). The Registration Statement was originally declared effective by the SEC on October 8, 2020. The Registration Statement relates to the offering on a firm commitment basis 200,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $25.00 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of (i) one 7.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Share, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), and (ii) eight warrants (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share, par value $0.001 per share, at an exercise price of $1.40 per share. (The Company also granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 30,000 additional Series A Preferred Shares and/or 240,000 additional Warrants, each Warrant exercisable to purchase one share of common stock, solely to cover over-allotments, if any.)

 

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is being filed to update and supplement information contained in the Registration Statement to incorporate by reference the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, that was filed with the SEC on April 12, 2021 (the “Annual Report”) and to update the share information on the cover page, “Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities” and the exhibit list contained herein. No other changes have been made to the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (which prospectus continues to form a part of this Registration Statement) and, accordingly, such prospectus has not been reprinted in Part I of this filing. No additional securities are being registered under this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of the Registration Statement.

Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(4)

Registration No. 333-245405

 

The information in this preliminary prospectus is not complete and may be changed. We may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This preliminary prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS SUBJECT TO COMPLETION DATED APRIL 14, 2021

 

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

200,000 Units, Each Consisting of

One 7.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Share and

Eight Warrants, Each Warrant Exercisable for One Common

Share for a Total of up to 1,600,000 Common Shares Underlying the Warrants

 

 

Pyxis Tankers Inc.  

 

 

We are offering on a firm commitment basis 200,000 units of Pyxis Tankers Inc. (the “Units”) at a price of $25.00 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of (i) one 7.75% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Share, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Shares”), and (ii) eight warrants (the “Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share, par value $0.001 per share, at an exercise price of $1.40 per share. As of April 12, 2021, there are currently 141,186 Series A Preferred Shares and 1,590,540 Warrants outstanding.

 

The Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants included in the Units can only be purchased together in this offering, but the securities contained in the Units are immediately separable and will be issued separately. The offering also includes the common shares issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Warrants and conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares.

 

We will pay cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares from and including the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.9375 per share each year, which is equivalent to 7.75% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares will be payable monthly in arrears, beginning with the month ended October 31, 2020. To the extent declared by our Board of Directors, dividends will be payable not later than twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month, starting on November 20, 2020.

 

Beginning on October 13, 2023, we may, at our option, redeem the Series A Preferred Shares, in whole or in part, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption.

 

Each Series A Preferred Share is convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $1.40 per common share, or 17.86 common shares, at any time at the option of the holder, subject to certain customary adjustments. The initial conversion price and the conversion price as adjusted are referred to as the “Conversion Price.” We may elect to automatically convert some or all of the Series A Preferred Shares into common shares if the closing price of the common shares has exceeded $2.38 (170% of the Conversion Price) for at least 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days ending within five trading days prior to the notice of automatic conversion, which we refer to as the “Market Trigger.”

 

As of the date of this prospectus, our common shares trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “PXS.” The last reported sale price of our common shares on April 9, 2021 was $1.02 per share. The Series A Preferred Shares and Warrants are also listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “PXSAP” and “PXSAW”, respectively, but we have not and will not apply to list the Units.

 

Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 21 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our securities and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

 

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved these securities, or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We have additionally agreed to reimburse the underwriter for expenses incurred by it in an amount not to exceed $65,000. Please see “Underwriting” for additional disclosure regarding underwriting compensation payable by us.

 

We have granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 30,000 additional Series A Preferred Shares and/or 240,000 additional Warrants, each Warrant exercisable to purchase one share of common stock, solely to cover over-allotments, if any.

Information Not Required in Prospectus

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

I. Article 8, Section 1 of the Bylaws of the registrant provides that:

 

Any person who is or was a Director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall be entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation upon the same terms, under the same conditions, and to the same extent as authorized by Section 60 of the BCA, if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The Corporation shall have the power to pay in advance expenses a director or officer incurred while defending a civil or criminal proceeding, provided that the director or officer will repay the amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to indemnification under this section. Any repeal or modification of this Article VIII shall not adversely affect any rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses of a Director or officer of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect to any acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

 

II. Section 60 of the BCA provides as follows:

 

Indemnification of directors and officers:

 

(1) Actions not by or in right of the corporation. A corporation shall have power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of no contest, or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
   
(2) Actions by or in right of the corporation. A corporation shall have the power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not, opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claims, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

 

 C: 
II-1
 

 

(3) When director or officer successful. To the extent that a director or officer of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (1) or (2) of this section, or in the defense of a claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.
   
(4) Payment of expenses in advance. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in this section.
   
(5) Indemnification pursuant to other rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.
   
(6) Continuation of indemnification. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
   
(7)

Insurance. A corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such capacity whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this section.

 

III. Indemnification Agreements

 

The registrant has entered, and expects to continue to enter, into agreements to indemnify its directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the registrant’s board of directors. With specified exceptions, these agreements provide for indemnification for related expenses including, among other things, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. The registrant believes that the provisions in its Bylaws and indemnification agreements described above are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

 

Item 7. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

 

On December 6, 2017, the registrant entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the registrant, in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, agreed to issue and sell to the Investors an aggregate of 2,400,000 common shares at a price of $2.00 per share (the “Private Placement”). The net proceeds received from the Private Placement were used for general corporate purposes.

 

On July 2, 2019 and October 1, 2019, the registrant issued 54,462 and 40,800 restricted common shares, respectively, to settle, in each case, approximately $56,000 of quarterly interest due on the Amended and Restated Promissory Note, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

On January 2, 2020, April 3, 2020, July 1, 2020, and October 1, 2020, the registrant issued 50,188, 71,007, 68,410, and 70,890 restricted common shares, respectively, to settle, in each case, approximately $56,000 of quarterly interest due on the Amended and Restated Promissory Note, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. On January 4, 2021 and April 2, 2021, following the second amendment to the Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated May 14, 2019, the registrant issued 64,446 and 47,827 common shares, respectively, at the volume weighted average closing share price for the 10-day period immediately prior to the quarter end.

Item 9. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of the securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4) To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.

 

 C: 
II-3
 

 

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(6) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b) (1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
