Pop Culture Group raises $6M via registered direct share sale.

Pop Culture Group has raised $6 million in gross proceeds by selling 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at US$1.20 per share to institutional accredited investors in a registered direct offering under its existing Form F-3 shelf. This structure allows rapid capital raising using a previously cleared registration statement and a focused investor group.

FT Global Capital, Inc. served as exclusive best efforts placement agent, earning a cash fee of 7.5% of gross proceeds plus capped reimbursements of up to $30,000 for travel and due diligence and up to $70,000 for legal expenses. These fees reduce net proceeds but follow common small-cap capital-raising terms.

The 90-day lock-up, starting from the date of the final prospectus, covers executive officers, directors, and 5% shareholders, limiting their ability to sell, hedge, or demand registration of their holdings during this period. Such lock-ups can help stabilize trading conditions around the new issuance by reducing near-term insider selling pressures.
