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.

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.
