Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Equity Distribution Agreement
 
On August 28, 2025, MIND Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Lucid Capital Markets LLC (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell up to $25.0 million of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, from time to time through the Agent (the “Offering”). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, future acquisitions, the financing of capital expenditures and additions to its working capital.
 
Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, the Shares may be offered and sold through the Agent by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at-the-market” offering as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including without limitation sales made directly on the NASDAQ Capital Market, on any existing trading market for the Shares or to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or, if specified in a placement notice from the Company, in negotiated transactions. Under the Sales Agreement, the Agent will be entitled to compensation of up to 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the Shares sold through the Agent from time to time pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the Sales Agreement and may suspend solicitations and offers under the Sales Agreement at any time.
 
The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-286763) declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 1, 2025. The Company is filing a prospectus supplement, dated September 2, 2025, to the prospectus, with the SEC in connection with the Offering.
 
The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
 
Relationships
 
The Agent and its affiliates may from time to time in the future provide to the Company and its affiliates certain commercial banking, financial advisory, investment banking and other services in the ordinary course of their business, for which they would receive customary fees and commissions. In addition, Peter H. Blum, who serves as a director on the Company’s Board of Directors, is also Vice Chairman of the Agent. From time to time the Agent and its affiliates may effect transactions for their own account or the account of customers, and hold on behalf of themselves or their customers, long or short positions in the Company’s debt or equity securities or loans, and may do so in the future.
 
Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On September 2, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the Sales Agreement and the Share Repurchase Program (as defined below). A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated by reference into Item 7.01. The information in this Item 7.01 (including the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference into Item 7.01) is being furnished, not filed, for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is not subject to the liabilities of that section, and will not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
 
Item 8.01
Other Events.
 
On August 28, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) for the repurchase of up to $4.0 million of the Company’s commons stock through August 31, 2027. The Share Repurchase Program is effective immediately.
 
Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may purchase its ordinary shares through various means, including open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, any combination thereof or other legally permissible means. The Company may effect repurchase transactions in compliance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act. The number of shares repurchased and the timing of repurchases will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, price, trading volume and general market conditions, along with the Company’s working capital requirements, general business conditions and other factors. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific dollar amount or number of shares and share repurchases thereunder will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and may be discontinued by the Company, in its sole discretion and without notice.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel to MIND Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the proposed public offering and sale of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000,000, pursuant to:

 

(i)          the Sales Agreement dated August 28, 2025 (the “Sales Agreement”) between the Company and Lucid Capital Markets, LLC, as agent, and

 

(ii)          the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-286763) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 25, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”), including the form of prospectus therein (including the documents incorporated by reference therein, the “Base Prospectus”), and a prospectus supplement dated September 2, 2025, filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”),

 

relating to the “at-the-market” offering from time-to-time of the Shares contemplated by the Sales Agreement. We understand that the Shares are to be offered and sold in the manner set forth in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

 

In so acting, we have examined original counterparts or copies of original counterparts of the following documents:

 

(i)         The Sales Agreement.

(iii)         The Prospectus Supplement.

We have also examined originals or copies of the organizational documents and such other records of the Company, certificates and web sites of public officials and of officers or other representatives of the Company and agreements and other documents, and made such other investigations, as we have deemed necessary, subject to the assumptions set forth below, as a basis for the opinions expressed below.

 

In rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have assumed:

 

(i)         The genuineness of all signatures (whether manual, electronic or otherwise) and, to the extent that a signature on a document is manifested by electronic or similar means, such signature has been executed or adopted by a signatory with an intent to authenticate and sign the document.

 

(ii)         The authenticity of the originals of the documents submitted to us.

 

(iii)         The conformity to authentic originals of any documents submitted to us as copies.

(v)         That the offer and sale of Shares under the Sales Agreement complies in all respects with the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Registration Statement and the Sales Agreement.

 

We have not independently established the validity of the foregoing assumptions.

 

Based on the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications and limitations stated herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized by the Company and, when issued and paid for in the manner described in the Sales Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Our opinion is limited to the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, including all reported judicial decisions interpreting such laws, and we do not express any opinion herein concerning any other laws.

 

This opinion letter has been prepared, and is to be understood, in accordance with customary practice of lawyers who regularly give and lawyers who regularly advise recipients regarding opinions of this kind, is limited to the matters expressly stated herein and is provided solely in connection with the Sales Agreement, and no opinions may be inferred or implied beyond the matters expressly stated herein. The opinions expressed herein are rendered and speak only as of the date hereof, and we specifically disclaim any responsibility to update such opinions subsequent to the date hereof or to advise you of subsequent developments affecting such opinions.

MIND Technology Announces ATM and Stock Buyback Programs

 

THE WOODLANDS, TX, September 2, 2025 – MIND Technology, Inc. (“MIND” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MIND) announced today that on August 28, 2025, it entered into an equity distribution agreement with Lucid Capital Markets LLC pursuant to which it may sell up to $25.0 million of common stock from time to time under an “at-the-market” program. Additionally, on August 28, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $4.0 million of the Company’s common stock at anytime through August 31, 2027.

 

Rob Capps, President and CEO of MIND, stated, “We have taken these preparatory steps so that we can act quickly and efficiently should circumstances or market conditions warrant. These actions are consistent with our stated strategy to explore all ways to enhance stockholder value. Should we have a need for additional capital to exploit growth opportunities or should there be an opportunity to raise non-dilutive capital, the ATM program will enable us to do so in a very efficient manner. On the other hand, should market conditions indicate that investment in our own stock is the best use of our capital, the stock buyback program will position us to do that quickly and efficiently.”
