Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

On December 13, 2015 (the “Signing Date”), Patriot National, Inc. (the “Company”) and Steven M. Mariano, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as the selling stockholder (the “Selling Stockholder”), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) certain purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, (i) the Company will issue and sell, and the Purchasers will purchase, an aggregate of 1,666,666 shares (the “Company Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), (in the form of 666,666 shares of common stock and a prepaid warrant for 1,000,000 shares of common stock) and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,083,333 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), subject to adjustments pursuant to which additional shares may be issued, to be issued by the Company (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $20 million, and (ii) the Selling Stockholder will sell, and the Purchasers will purchase, an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares (together with the Company Shares, the “Firm Shares”) of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $30 million, in a private placement transaction (the “Transaction”). The Purchase Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties accompanied by certain indemnification rights and certain customary and other closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close on December 16, 2015 (the date of such closing, the “Closing Date”).

In addition, the Company, the Selling Stockholders and the Purchasers, on the Closing Date, will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will provide the Purchasers with demand and piggyback registration rights to register the Firm Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares, subject to penalties and other customary provisions. The Company will agree to indemnify the Purchasers in connection any claims related to their sale of securities under a registration statement, subject to certain exceptions.

On the Signing Date, the Company and the Selling Stockholder entered into an agreement (the “Stock Back-to-Back Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will repurchase a number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Selling Stockholder equal to 60% of the Warrant Shares to be issued in connection with the exercise by Purchasers of the Warrants.

The issuance and sale, as applicable, of the Firm Shares and the Warrants are intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Company expects to rely upon Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, as the issuance and sale of the Firm Shares and Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement do not involve a public offering and further upon reliance on the representation by each Purchaser that it is acquiring the securities for its own account, for investment only, and not with a view to any resale or public distribution thereof.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Stock Back-to-Back Agreement and the Warrants, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, the form of Registration Rights Agreement, the Stock Back-to-Back Agreement and the form of Warrants, copies of which are included as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The disclosure under Item 1.01 is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.

On December 14, 2015, the Company issued a press release announcing its entry into the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
