NOTE 8 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On November 12, 2021, the Company completed a public offering of Units consisting of one share of common stock and one five-year stock purchase warrant to purchase one common share at $5.50. The Company has the right to redeem the warrants under certain conditions. The net proceeds from the offering were $10,696,575.

 

On June 6, 2024, we authorized a stock repurchase program, under which we may repurchase up to 625,000 shares, or approximately 10.0%, of our currently issued and outstanding common stock (the “2024 Share Repurchase Program”). We have not established any maximum aggregate price to be paid for shares that we repurchase. As of June 28, 2026, we have repurchased 306,394 shares, including 91,394 shares under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. We may purchase up to an additional 533,606 shares under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. We are purchasing the shares with available cash. We may purchase shares of our common stock from time to time, in amounts, at prices, and at such times as we deem appropriate, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other considerations. Our purchases may be executed through open-market purchases, unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions, or other transactions. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended, modified, or terminated at any time without prior notice. The 2024 Share Repurchase Program does not include a time limitation on when repurchases may occur.

 

Upon the announcement of a potential merger transaction, we suspended the 2024 Share Repurchase Program. Prior to suspending the 2024 Share Repurchase Program, we had not purchased any shares of common stock under the 2024 Share Repurchase Program during 2025.

 

Potential Sale and Issuance of Stock

 

On December 13, 2024, as amended on November 21, 2025, BT Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) to sell shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.002 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to the maximum aggregate sales proceeds of up to $3,565,880 pursuant to the applicable prospectus supplement, from time to time, through an “at the market offering” program under which Maxim will act as sales agent.

 

On May 14, 2026, the Company terminated the Distribution Agreement, by and between the Company and Maxim. Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company could from time to time offer and sell shares of its common stock, par value $.002 per share, through or to Maxim, as sales agent or principal, in an at-the-market offering. The Company elected to terminate the Agreement in accordance with its terms, and no further shares will be offered or sold thereunder. The Company did not incur any termination penalties in connection with the termination of the Distribution Agreement and intends to sell shares in the future through its existing at-the-market offering program.
