GD Culture Group launches $5.5 million private placement

NEW YORK - GD Culture Group Limited (NASDAQ:GDC) and its subsidiary, AI Catalysis Corp., have entered into a private placement agreement on May 2, 2025. The deal involves the sale of 1,115,600 shares of common stock at $0.524 each and pre-funded warrants for 9,380,582 shares at $0.523 per warrant. The expected gross proceeds are approximately $5.5 million, which the company plans to use for working capital. According to InvestingPro data, this funding comes at a crucial time as the company’s current ratio of 0.02 indicates significant liquidity challenges, with short-term obligations exceeding liquid assets.

The pre-funded warrants will become exercisable following stockholder approval. Univest Securities, LLC is serving as the sole placement agent for this transaction. These securities are offered under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, meaning they have not been registered under the Act and may not be resold without registration or an exemption.

GD Culture Group has committed to filing a resale registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to allow for the resale of the common stock issued or issuable in connection with the private placement.

The company, incorporated in Nevada, operates primarily through AI Catalysis Corp. and Shanghai Xianzhui Technology Co, Ltd. With plans to enter the livestreaming e-commerce market, GD Culture Group’s main business focuses include AI-driven digital human technology and live-streaming e-commerce services. Despite challenging fundamentals, including an EBITDA of -$11.4 million in the last twelve months, the stock has shown remarkable momentum with a 275% return over the past year. InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently overvalued, with 12 additional key insights available to subscribers.
