Houston American Energy raises $8.0M via registered direct stock offering.

Houston American Energy Corp. completed a registered direct offering of 2,285,715 common shares at $3.50 per share, providing gross proceeds of $8.0 million. The transaction was executed off an effective Form S-3 shelf and sold directly to identified investors under a Securities Purchase Agreement dated November 19, 2025.

The company engaged A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners as placement agent, paying a 7.0% cash fee on most of the proceeds and a 3.5% fee for one existing investor relationship, plus capped expense reimbursements. In addition, A.G.P. receives placement agent warrants for 2.0% of the securities sold, exercisable at 110% of the offering price, which introduces additional potential equity if exercised.

The company agreed to a 60-day restriction on issuing further common stock or equivalents after closing, which limits near-term additional equity issuance under the Purchase Agreement terms. The placement agent warrants and their underlying shares were issued in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D, so any future exercises would depend on market conditions and applicable registration or resale arrangements as disclosed in subsequent filings.
