3 terms

pipe financial

"private investment in public equity (PIPE)"

A PIPE (private investment in public equity) is a deal in which institutional or accredited investors buy shares or convertible securities directly from a publicly traded company, usually at a discount to the market price. Companies use PIPEs to raise money faster than through a traditional public offering; for existing shareholders they matter because the newly issued shares add to the share count and can dilute ownership.

warrants financial

"warrants to purchase common stock"

Warrants are special documents that give you the right to buy a company's stock at a set price before a certain date. They are often used as a way for companies to attract investors or raise money, and their value can increase if the company's stock price goes up.

View in glossary

volume-weighted average price financial

"the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock"

Volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is the average price of a stock over a specific time period where each trade is weighted by the number of shares traded, so larger trades influence the average more than small ones. Investors and traders use VWAP as a reference point to judge whether trades are happening at relatively good or poor prices—like checking the average price paid for an item at a market where bulk purchases count more than single-item buys.

ASHBURN, VA / ACCESS Newswire / September 24, 2026 / Brightline Interactive, Inc. (Nasdaq:BTLN) (the "Company"), the company building SpatialCore, an interoperability and operational context platform for Physical AI, today announced it has entered into an agreement for a private investment in public equity (PIPE), with gross proceeds of $1.25 million, of units of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock priced above the Company's closing share price on September 23, 2026, led by Dr. Allan Evans, Chief Executive Officer of Unusual Machines, Inc. along with other participating investors.

Dr. Evans's participation in the financing is being made in his personal capacity and is not a corporate transaction between Brightline and Unusual Machines. Proceeds from the financing are intended to support continued development of SpatialCore and to help Brightline pursue new markets and use cases across the Physical AI ecosystem.

Dr. Evans is a recognized leader in the drone industry. He has served as CEO of Unusual Machines since December 2023, previously served as Chief Operating Officer of Red Cat Holdings, and holds graduate degrees from the University of Michigan.

"SpatialCore takes the right approach to a problem this industry has not solved: giving autonomous systems, sensors, and platforms a shared way to understand the physical world," said Dr. Evans. "That kind of interoperability is becoming critical as autonomy scales, and I believe the company that builds it well stands to capture significant value in a market that is still early. That is why I am personally leading this investment in Brightline."

"Allan has spent his career building and operating inside the drone industry, and his decision to lead this investment reflects real conviction in the SpatialCore approach and where this market is headed," said Tyler H. Gates, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brightline Interactive. "This capital lets us keep building the interoperability layer the industry needs and move faster into new markets and use cases as demand grows."

Transaction Details

The financing consists of a private investment in public equity (PIPE) of units of common stock and warrants to purchase common stock, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.25 million. The warrants carry 100% coverage at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. Pricing for the units is $0.70 per unit. The transaction is anticipated to close on September 25, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions. Net proceeds are intended to support continued development of SpatialCore and Brightline's expansion into new markets and use cases.

The exercise price of the warrants will be subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, reverse splits and similar capital transactions, including the previously announced 8-for-1 stock split that will be effective on September 28, 2026. Following that split, the exercise price of the warrants will be $16.00 for each post-split share.

Additionally, if, at any time the warrants are exercisable, the volume-weighted average price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market exceeds $3.00 (the "Call Price") for five (5) consecutive trading days, the Company has the option to redeem the outstanding warrants, subject to further conditions as described in the warrants. The Call Price is subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, reverse splits and similar capital transactions, including the previously announced 8-for-1 stock split that will be effective on September 28, 2026. Following the split, the Call Price of the warrants will be $24.00.
