Insights

Jiuzi raises about $4M through a small, highly structured equity offering.

Jiuzi Holdings Inc. completed a registered direct offering consisting of 137,000 Class A ordinary shares and pre-funded warrants for up to 1,463,000 additional shares. The cash comes in up front at a share price of $2.50, while the pre-funded warrants carry a minimal remaining exercise price of $0.078, which makes them economically similar to shares for the investor.

Gross proceeds are approximately $4 million before transaction costs. Univest Securities, LLC earns a 7.0% cash fee on gross proceeds, a 1.0% expense allowance, and additional reimbursed expenses up to $150,000, which will reduce net cash received. The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable but limited by customary beneficial ownership caps, so the pace of future share issuance will depend on how the investor manages those limits.

The deal uses Jiuzi’s effective Form F-3 shelf registration, allowing the securities to be offered on a registered basis. Actual impact for existing shareholders will hinge on how many of the 1,463,000 pre-funded warrants are ultimately exercised and over what period, as that determines the final share count associated with this financing.
