ATHENS - Icon (NASDAQ:ICLR) Energy Corp. (NASDAQ:ICON), a global dry bulk shipping service provider, has announced the pricing of its public offering of over 9 million units at $1.31 each. According to InvestingPro data, this pricing comes as the stock trades near its 52-week low of $1.30, having declined over 41% year-to-date. The offering includes common shares or warrants to purchase common shares and warrants for additional shares at an initial price of $2.62 each. The warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire three years from the issue date.
The company has set conditions for potential adjustments to the exercise price of the warrants after the offering closes, which is expected on January 24, 2025. The adjustments are based on the closing price of Icon's common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market and could lower the price to 60%, 40%, and 30% on specific days following the offering. Additionally, the number of shares under the warrants may increase proportionally.
The warrants offer an alternative cashless exercise option, allowing holders to exchange each warrant for one and a half common shares. Although the common shares (or pre-funded warrants) and accompanying warrants are being sold together, they will be issued separately and are immediately separable upon issuance.
