Over the last few months, JIADE reported strong FY2025 revenue growth but a net loss, executed a 1-for-25 reverse split to support Nasdaq compliance, and pursued AI-focused international MOUs. On Feb 18, 2026, it priced a $3.0 million registered direct offering at $0.25 per share, which saw a -67.53% one-day move. Today’s larger registered direct offering continues this pattern of using Form F-3 capital raises alongside balance sheet restructuring.

registered direct offeringfinancial
"agreed to sell up to an aggregate of up to $12.0 million of its Class A ordinary shares in a registered direct offering."
A registered direct offering is a way for a company to sell new shares of its stock directly to select investors with regulatory approval. This method allows the company to raise funds quickly and efficiently without needing a public auction, similar to offering exclusive access to a limited number of buyers. For investors, it often provides an opportunity to purchase shares at a favorable price, while giving the company immediate access to capital.
par valuefinancial
"The Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0025 per share, are being sold at a purchase price of $0.24 per share."
Par value is the fixed amount printed on a bond or stock that represents its original value when issued. It’s like the face value of a coin or bill—what the issuer promises to pay back or the starting price of a stock—though it often doesn’t change with market prices. It matters because it helps determine certain financial details, like how much the company will pay back at maturity.
shelf registration statementregulatory
"pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-292574)"
A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.
form f-3regulatory
"pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-292574)"
Form F-3 is a U.S. securities filing that lets eligible foreign companies pre-register and then quickly sell shares or other securities to raise money, because they already meet ongoing reporting and size tests. For investors it signals that the company is up-to-date with regulatory disclosure and has an efficient way to issue new securities — similar to a pre-approved credit line — which can mean faster capital raises but also potential dilution of existing holdings.
prospectusregulatory
"The offering of the shares will be made only by means of a prospectus and prospectus supplements filed with the SEC."
A prospectus is a detailed document that explains a company's plans for offering new shares or investments to the public. It’s important because it provides potential investors with key information about the company’s business, risks, and how they might make money, helping them decide whether to invest. Think of it as a guidebook for understanding what you're buying into.
prospectus supplementsregulatory
"The offering of the shares will be made only by means of a prospectus and prospectus supplements filed with the SEC."
A prospectus supplement is an official add-on to a securities prospectus that provides new or updated details about a specific stock, bond, or other offering, such as terms, risks, or financial data. Investors use it like a product label update—checking it tells them what exactly is being offered, any changes from the original plan, and whether the investment's risks, size, or price have shifted, which can affect buy, hold, or sell decisions.
fcparegulatory
"or in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations."
The FCPA is a U.S. law that makes it illegal for companies and their employees to bribe foreign government officials and requires them to keep honest financial records and internal controls. For investors it matters because violations can lead to large fines, criminal charges, damaged reputation and disrupted business — similar to a company being penalized by a watchdog for cheating in its bookkeeping and playbook, which can cut into profits and raise risk.
ofacregulatory
"or in violation of FCPA or OFAC regulations."
OFAC is the U.S. Treasury agency that administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions, using a publicly maintained list to block certain people, companies, and countries from moving money or doing business. Think of OFAC as a referee who enforces rules about who is allowed to play and who is barred from the field. Investors need to watch OFAC actions because sanctions can freeze assets, halt deals, complicate payments, and create legal and reputational risks that affect valuations and trading.
