Insights

Equity capital markets analyst

SKYX raises $25M via a registered direct stock sale, exchanging dilution risk for immediate capital.

SKYX Platforms Corp. agreed to sell 10,000,000 common shares at $2.50 each in a registered direct offering to an institutional investor, for gross proceeds of about $25.0 million. The cash inflow is earmarked for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which can support ongoing operations and growth initiatives.

The transaction is conducted under an existing Form S-3 shelf with a prospectus supplement and is expected to close on January 26, 2026, subject to customary conditions. Roth Capital Partners earns a 6.5% cash fee on gross proceeds plus $75,000 of reimbursed expenses, modestly reducing net funds to the company. A 90‑day restriction on new equity issuance or related registration, subject to exceptions, may temporarily limit further equity financings but also provides some supply stability following this deal.
