Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously disclosed in its filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), on December 13, 2024, BT Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Original Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC. as sales agent (the “Agent”), by and between the Company and the Agent. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company may sell from time to time through the Agent the Company’s common stock, par value $0.002 per share (“Common Stock”), initially having an aggregate offering price of up to $3,005,000 (the “ATM Offering Program”). Sales of Common Stock, if any, under the Agreement may be made in any transactions that are deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933.

 

The board of directors of the Company approved an increase in the size of the ATM Offering Program up to $3,565,880. The Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement on November 21, 2025 (the “First Amendment”) to reflect this increase in the aggregate offering price of the ATM Offering Program, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report.

 

The Company will file a prospectus supplement to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-283830) to cover the offer and sale of up to $3,565,880 of shares of Common Stock from time to time through the Agent, which represents the entire capacity under the ATM Offering Program.

 

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Agreement, a copy of which was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 16, 2024, which is incorporated herein by reference, and the full text of the First Amendment which is filed herewith. The foregoing description of the Original Agreement and the First Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Agreement and the First Amendment. The legal opinion of Ruffa &Ruffa, P.C., counsel to the Company, relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of Common Stock pursuant to the Agreement, as amended, is filed herewith as Exhibit 5.1.
