On March 27, 2018, Cardiz Inc. (the “Company” or “us” or “we”) entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley FBR, Inc. under which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $15,000,000 from time to time through B. Riley FBR acting as our sales agent (the “Sales Agent”). We currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock under the Sales Agreement for the development of the Cadiz Water Project, which may include funding a portion of the $20 million payment required if we elect to exercise our option to acquire an additional 124-mile extension of our Northern Pipeline, business development activities, capital expenditures, working capital and corporate purposes.

Sales of our common stock through the Sales Agent, if any, will be made by any method that is deemed an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts to make such offerings consistent with its normal trading and sales practices. We will pay the Sales Agent an aggregate of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the sales price per share of common stock sold through the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement.

We are not obligated to make any sales of our common stock under the Sales Agreement and no assurance can be given that we will sell any shares under the Sales Agreement, or, if we do, as to the price or amount of shares that we will sell, or the dates on which any such sales will take place. The Sales Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the sale of all of our common stock subject to the Sales Agreement, or (ii) termination of the Sales Agreement as provided therein.

The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
