Insights

Underwritten stock sale adds significant cash while increasing the share count.

LightPath Technologies arranged an underwritten public offering of 7,750,000 Class A shares at $7.75 per share, plus a 30-day option for 1,162,500 additional shares. This structure provides committed demand from underwriters, which can help ensure the transaction funds as planned, subject to customary closing conditions.

The company estimates net proceeds of about $56.8 million, earmarked for working capital, investments, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. This expands financial flexibility but also increases the equity base because all shares are newly issued by the company.

The 90-day restriction on additional issuances or sales of equity or convertible securities limits near-term supply of new stock outside this deal. An expected closing on December 15, 2025 and any exercise of the underwriters’ option will determine the final amount of capital raised and total new shares issued.
