News Explained
No sale or proceeds are committed yet; if completed, Host Digital would issue shares, receive net cash, and dilute existing ownership.
The proposed offering has commenced but is not completed; if Host Digital issues the shares, total share count would rise and existing holders’ percentage ownership would fall, while the company would receive the net proceeds.
In an underwritten offering, an investment bank buys securities from the issuer and resells them, with fees reducing net proceeds below the gross amount; the Form S-3 provides selling capacity, not a completed sale, and the prospectus supplement states the specific offering’s final terms.
The proposed
The prospectus supplement’s final size, price and fees will identify the amount actually sold and net cash raised; the release leaves completion and final terms unresolved.
