Insights

Capital markets analyst

Garden Stage raises US$6M via private placement, adding cash but also new shares.

Garden Stage Limited completed a private placement of 47,961,831 Class A ordinary shares at US$0.1251 per share, generating gross proceeds of US$6 million. This directly increases the company’s cash balance while expanding its equity base.

The investors accepted a 60-day lock-up, which temporarily limits resale activity and may help manage near-term trading pressure. The company states it will use the funds for general corporate purposes, a broad category that can include operations, working capital, or other corporate needs.

The filing also incorporates this information into existing Form F-3 and Form S-8 registration statements, aligning the new capital raise with prior shelf and equity compensation frameworks. Actual long-term impact will depend on how effectively the additional capital supports the company’s business objectives.
