S&P 500 slips, but losses kept in check as Nvidia climbs ahead of results
Investing.com -- Red Cat Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:RCAT) shares fell 18.4% after the drone technology company announced a registered direct offering of common stock expected to raise approximately $46.75 million in gross proceeds.
The company said it has entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional investors for the sale of 6,448,276 shares of common stock. The offering is expected to close on or about June 18, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
Red Cat intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate and working capital purposes, including operating expenditures related to its new unmanned surface vessel division.
Northland Capital Markets is acting as the exclusive placement agent for the transaction, according to the company’s statement.
Red Cat Holdings integrates robotic hardware and software for military, government, and commercial operations. The share offering represents a significant capital raise for the company as it continues to develop its drone technology business and expand into new areas such as unmanned surface vessels.
The sharp decline in share price following the announcement reflects typical market reaction to equity offerings, which can dilute existing shareholders’ ownership stakes.
