Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On September 15, 2016, Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with JMP Securities LLC (the “Underwriter”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell 3,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a public offering price of $13.00 per share (the “Offering”).  In addition, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 450,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

The shares are being offered and sold pursuant to a prospectus, dated May 28, 2015, and a prospectus supplement, dated September 15, 2016, in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-204513) (the “Registration Statement”), declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2015.  The Offering is expected to close on or about September 21, 2016, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $36.8 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by the Company.  The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including general administrative expenses and working capital and capital expenditures, development costs, strategic investments or possible acquisitions, or repayment of debt.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing and indemnification obligations of each of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.  In addition, subject to certain exceptions, each director and executive officer of the Company has entered into an agreement with the Underwriter not to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of securities of the Company during the 90-day period following the Offering.  The Company is also restricted in its ability to sell securities during the 90-day period.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Underwriting Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1, to this report and is incorporated by reference herein.  The provisions of the Underwriting Agreement, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the parties to such agreement and are not intended as a document for investors and the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the Company.  Rather, investors and the public should look to other disclosures contained in the Company’s filings with the Commission.

 

A copy of the opinion of Manatt, Phelps & Phillips, LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the shares in the Offering is being filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
