Insights

FreeCast raises $23.7M via a structured private placement with registration deadlines.

FreeCast completed a private placement of common stock and pre-funded warrants, raising approximately $23.7 million at $3.00 per security. This adds new capital from both new institutional and existing long-term investors, earmarked mainly for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The deal mixes immediate shares with pre-funded warrants, which have a nominal $0.0001 exercise price, no expiration, and a 9.99% beneficial ownership cap per investor. This structure allows investors to manage ownership levels while still committing capital upfront at the same economic price.

A registration rights agreement obligates the company to file a resale registration statement within 12 trading days and seek effectiveness within 15 to 45 days, depending on SEC review. Failure to keep resale available can trigger 1.5% monthly cash liquidated damages on each investor’s subscription amount, so meeting these timelines and maintaining an effective registration will be operationally important.

private placement financial
"for a private placement of: (i) 4,666,667 shares of our Class A common stock"
A private placement is a sale of securities directly to a selected group of investors, typically institutions or accredited investors, instead of through a public offering. It lets a company raise money faster and with fewer regulatory steps; for existing shareholders it matters because the newly issued shares, often sold at a discount, increase the share count and can dilute their ownership.
Pre-Funded Warrants financial
"pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,243,807 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”)"
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
Registration Rights Agreement financial
"the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors"
A registration rights agreement is a contract that gives investors the option to have their ownership stakes officially registered with the government, making it easier to sell their shares later. This agreement matters because it provides investors with a clearer path to cash out their investments if they choose, offering more liquidity and confidence in their ability to sell their holdings when desired.
liquidated damages financial
"an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.5%"
A pre-agreed sum that one party must pay if it breaks a contract, chosen so both sides avoid arguing over the exact amount of loss later. Think of it like a fixed cancellation fee for a reservation: it makes potential costs predictable. For investors, liquidated damages matter because they create a known financial liability that can affect cash flow, contract risk, balance-sheet exposure and deal valuations.
Regulation D financial
"Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors"
Regulation D is a set of rules that govern how companies can raise money from investors without going through the full process required for public stock offerings. It provides simplified options for private placements, making it easier for companies to seek investments from a smaller group of investors. For investors, it offers opportunities to invest in private companies, often with fewer restrictions, but also with different levels of risk and disclosure.
beneficially owned financial
"if such exercise would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 30, 2026, FreeCast, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company," "we," "us" or "our") entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with new institutional and existing long term investors (the “Investors”) for a private placement of: (i) 4,666,667 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”); and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase 3,243,807 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants” and, together with the Common Stock, the “Securities”) at a purchase price of $3.00 per share of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrant.

 

The private placement closed on July 2, 2026. We received aggregate gross proceeds from the private placement of approximately $23.7 million, before deducting estimated placement agent commissions and expenses, which are payable by us.

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by us, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Investors, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Securities Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties.

 

We agreed to use the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital and general corporate purposes. However, we cannot use any net proceeds: (i) for the satisfaction of any portion of our debt (other than payment of trade payables in the ordinary course of our business and prior practices); (ii) for the redemption of any Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock; (iii) for the settlement of any outstanding litigation; or (iv) in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or the regulations promulgated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department. The Securities Purchase Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York.

 

We also agreed that, from the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement until 30 days after the date that the resale registration statement required by the Registration Rights Agreement (as defined below) becomes effective (the “Effective Date”), we will not: (i) issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock; or (ii) file any registration statement or amendment or supplement thereto, other than the registration statement to register the Securities or filing a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with any employee benefit plan.

 

The purchase price of each Pre-Funded Warrant equals $3.00 per share minus the $0.0001 exercise price per share of the Pre-Funded Warrant. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance, and will not expire until exercised in full. In accordance with the Nasdaq Global Market rules, the Pre-Funded Warrants are subject to shareholder approval, which we will obtain via written consent without a meeting.

 

The Pre-Funded Warrants provide that the Investor will not have the right to exercise any portion thereof if such exercise would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Investor (together with its affiliates) to exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

 

In connection with the private placement, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) requiring the Company to file a registration statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) no later than the 12th trading day following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than 15th calendar day following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, or in the event of a “limited review” by the SEC, the 30th day following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, or in the event of a “full review” by the SEC, the 45th day following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

1

 

Upon the occurrence of any Event (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), which, among others, prohibits the Investor from reselling the Securities for more than 10 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 15 calendar days during any 12-month period, the Company is obligated to pay to the Investor, on each monthly anniversary of each such Event, an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 1.5% multiplied by the aggregate subscription amount paid by such Investor pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

We may not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) are registered pursuant to a registration statement that is declared effective by the SEC, provided that the Company may file amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of the Registration Rights Agreement so long as no new securities are registered on any such existing registration statements. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with the Registration Rights Agreement by the Company will be borne by the Company, whether or not any Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) are sold pursuant to a registration statement.

 

In connection with the private placement, on June 30, 2026, we entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “Placement Agent”). As part of its compensation for acting as Placement Agent for the private placement, we paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of 5.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of the Securities sold to new institutional investors and 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from the sale of the Securities sold to existing investors.
