Rubico (RUBI) Jumps After Closing $7.5M Offering; SEC 6‑K Lays Out Reset Warrants, New Share Count — Nov. 7, 2025

• Rubico closed its $7.5 million underwritten unit offering on Nov. 6 and filed a Form 6‑K today detailing final terms, a partial over‑allotment (warrants only), and the post‑offering share count. SEC
• RUBI shares traded higher intraday today (Nov. 7) after the closing disclosure; volume spiked well above recent averages.
• The filing highlights warrant reset provisions on the 4th and 8th trading days after closing and warns about potential Nasdaq public‑interest halts/delisting risk given the instrument’s dilution mechanics. SEC

What happened today

Rubico Inc. (Nasdaq: RUBI) published a Form 6‑K on Friday confirming it closed a firm‑commitment public offering of 12,315,270 units on Nov. 6 at $0.609 per unit (one common share + one Class A warrant per unit). Gross proceeds were approximately $7.5 million before fees. The underwriter (Maxim Group) partially exercised the over‑allotment option for 1,847,290 warrants at closing. SEC

Post‑deal share count: Rubico reported 17,612,636 common shares outstanding after the closing. It also issued 14,162,560 investor warrants plus 615,763 representative warrants. The company’s filing notes that, if all such warrants were exercised using the “zero‑cash” option after the second reset date, up to 59,113,292 additional shares could be issued. (By our math, that would take the total shares outstanding to roughly 76.73 million, assuming no other changes.) SEC

Markets reacted to the closing disclosure: RUBI traded around $0.34 intraday today with heavy volume as of ~15:41 UTC.

The fine print investors are watching

1) Warrant resets and “zero‑cash” exercise

• Reset schedule: The exercise price resets on the 4th and 8th trading days after closing to 70% and 50% of the initial $0.609, respectively, with the number of underlying shares increasing proportionally. On the calendar, those reset dates land on Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2025 (4th trading day) and Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025 (8th trading day), assuming standard U.S. equity trading days. SEC
• Zero‑cash option: Holders may elect a zero‑cash exercise to receive 2x the number of shares otherwise issuable for no additional cash consideration, a feature that can magnify dilution. SEC

2) Listing risk language

Rubico’s 6‑K includes a risk factor noting that, due to the offering’s highly dilutive structure and the below‑bid pricing, Nasdaq could halt or delist the shares for public‑interest concerns even if other listing criteria are met. That language appears alongside discussion of recent volatility and low‑float dynamics. SEC

Quick background

• Fleet: The company focuses on eco‑design Suezmax crude carriers, including the M/T Eco Malibu and M/T Eco West Coast. Reuters
• Don’t confuse tickers: Prior to 2020, RUBI belonged to ad‑tech firm Rubicon Project, which rebranded to Magnite (MGNI) in July 2020. Many charting platforms still display historical RUBI data from that unrelated predecessor. Miaxglobal
