AMC Robotics Enters into Standby Equity Purchase Agreement to Provide up to $50 Million of Funding to Accelerate Commissioning of Its Robotic Manufacturing Facility

AMC Robotics secures a conditional $50 million equity line plus $3.88 million in convertible notes to fund its manufacturing facility buildout.

Rhea-AI Summary

AMC Robotics (AMCI) entered into a standby equity purchase agreement giving it the right to sell up to $50 million of new common shares to an institutional investor, subject to conditions including an effective SEC resale registration statement.

In connection with the agreement, the investor has loaned $3.88 million via convertible promissory notes funded in two tranches. The notes mature one year after issuance and may be repaid in shares at the lower of a fixed price of $4.017 per share or 92% of the lowest daily VWAP over the 5 trading days before the determination date, or prepaid in cash with a 6% premium.

Net proceeds from the facility and notes are expected to support buildout and commissioning of AMC Robotics’ robotic manufacturing facility, targeted for completion by November 2026. While the notes are outstanding, company-initiated advances are generally limited, and the investor may require share issuances up to the note balance.

Positive

• Standby equity facility up to $50 million available for future capital needs, subject to conditions
• $3.88 million in convertible notes funded in two tranches provides near-term liquidity
• Proceeds expected to fund and accelerate commissioning of robotic manufacturing facility by November 2026

Negative

• Convertible note repayment in shares may occur at 92% of lowest 5-day VWAP, implying potential dilution
• Equity line and resale cannot be used until SEC registration statement is declared effective
• Cash prepayment of notes requires an additional 6% prepayment premium
• While notes are outstanding, company-initiated advances are generally limited under the agreement

News Explained

The agreement authorizes up to $50 million, but only the $3.88 million notes are disclosed as funded; new shares could dilute holders.

The September 18, 2026 disclosure confirms an entered standby equity agreement and makes its holder consequence explicit: any newly issued shares would increase total shares and reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership.

The headline’s up-to-$50 million is a maximum authorization rather than committed equity funding: the company cannot draw or sell under the agreement until the resale registration statement is declared effective, while the separately disclosed note loan is $3.88 million.

At June 30, 2026, reported cash and equivalents were $4,544,353 and long-term investments were $1,000,000; together, that equals 463.7 days of the last reported operating cash use at that rate.

Sources and calculations

• AMC Robotics standby equity purchase agreement release (2026-09-18)
• Dilution definition (undated)
• AMC Robotics second-quarter 2026 fundamentals (2026Q2)

• Available liquidity against the last reported quarterly operating outflow, in days at that rate ($4,544,353 + $1,000,000) / ($1,088,084 / 91) = 463.7 days

standby equity purchase agreement financial

"entered into a $50 million standby equity purchase agreement"

A standby equity purchase agreement is a contract in which an investor or group agrees to buy a company’s newly issued shares on demand, giving the company a ready source of cash it can tap when needed. Think of it like a line of credit made with stock instead of a loan: it provides financial backup but can increase the number of shares outstanding, diluting existing owners and affecting per‑share value, so investors watch these deals for their impact on ownership and earnings per share.

convertible promissory notes financial

"loaned the Company $3.88 million in exchange for convertible promissory notes"

A convertible promissory note is a loan a company takes that can later be turned into shares instead of being paid back in cash; think of lending money now in exchange for a voucher that can become ownership later. Investors care because it mixes credit risk and potential ownership upside—it can protect lenders if a company struggles while also diluting existing shareholders when converted, affecting future share value and investor returns.

vwap financial

"92% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 5 consecutive trading days"

VWAP, or Volume-Weighted Average Price, is a way to find the average price of a stock throughout the trading day, giving more importance to times when more shares are traded. It helps traders see the typical price and decide whether a stock is expensive or cheap compared to its average, similar to finding the average speed during a trip by giving more weight to times when you traveled faster or slower.

registration statement regulatory

"a registration statement covering the resale of the Common Stock"

A registration statement is a formal document that companies file with a government agency to offer new shares of stock to the public. It provides essential information about the company's finances, operations, and risks, helping investors make informed decisions. Think of it as a detailed product description that ensures transparency and trust before buying into a company.

prepayment premium financial

"a prepayment premium equal to 6% of the outstanding principal"

A prepayment premium is a fee a borrower pays when they pay off a loan or debt earlier than agreed, like an early-termination charge on a phone contract. For investors, it affects the timing and amount of cash they receive from loans or mortgage-backed securities, changing expected returns and reinvestment plans because early repayment can return principal sooner or come with extra compensation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AMC Robotics Corporation (Nasdaq: AMCI) (“AMC Robotics” or the “Company”), an AI-driven robotics solutions provider, today announced it has entered into a $50 million standby equity purchase agreement (the “Agreement”). In connection with the Agreement, an institutional investor (the “Investor”) loaned the Company $3.88 million in exchange for convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”), to be funded in two tranches, subject to certain conditions. The net proceeds received under the terms of the Agreement are expected to fund the buildout and production line commissioning of the Company’s robotic manufacturing facility, targeted for completion by November 2026.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to issue and sell up to $50 million in aggregate gross purchase price of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), subject to certain conditions, including that a registration statement covering the resale of the Common Stock be filed and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company cannot draw on the funds available under the Agreement, and the Common Stock may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time that the registration statement covering the resale of the Common Stock is declared effective by the SEC.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.

The Notes will mature one year after the issuance date and may be repaid by issuing shares to the Investor at the lower of (i) $4.017 per share (the “Fixed Price”), or (ii) 92% of the lowest daily VWAP during the 5 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the payment date or other date of determination. The Company, in its sole discretion, has the right to prepay the Investor in cash, in whole or in part, any outstanding principal amount under the Notes prior to the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the amount being prepaid plus a prepayment premium equal to 6% of the outstanding principal amount being prepaid. While any amount remains outstanding under the Notes, Company-initiated advances are generally limited except if certain conditions are met under the Agreement, and the Investor may, in its sole discretion, deliver a notice requiring the Company to issue and sell Common Stock to the Investor in an amount up to, but not exceeding, the outstanding balance of the Notes. The Notes contain standard and customary terms and conditions for transactions of similar nature.

Sean Da, AMC Robotics’ Chief Executive Officer, stated, “The standby equity purchase agreement gives AMCI additional means and flexibility to raise capital on company-friendly terms, and represents an attractive cost of capital. Additionally, we expect that the advance through the issuance of the Notes will allow us to start production at our robotic manufacturing facility ahead of our original schedule. We now believe we are well-situated to raise capital in a cost-effective and accretive manner to penetrate the warehouse and industrial robotics market.”

For additional information about the transactions described in this press release, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed promptly following the issuance of this press release and which can be obtained, without charge, at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s internet site (http://www.sec.gov).
