Insights

Helius sets up a sizable ATM stock program and raises share capacity.

Helius Medical Technologies put in place an at-the-market equity program for up to $92.8 million of Class A common stock, using Clear Street and Maxim as co-sales agents. Sales can be made over time, with no obligation for the company or agents to sell any specific amount.

The commission of up to 3.00% of gross proceeds and reimbursement of up to $75,000 in legal fees are typical for this structure. The approved increase in authorized common stock to 800,000,000 shares provides substantial capacity for future issuances, including this ATM, though actual dilution will depend on how many shares are ultimately sold.
