Insights

Vision Marine plans a US$7M primary equity raise with underwriter warrants.

Vision Marine Technologies has structured a firm commitment offering of 3,500,000 common shares, or pre-funded warrants in lieu, at US$2.00 per security for expected gross proceeds of US$7,000,000. The deal is underwritten by ThinkEquity LLC and is expected to close on August 18, 2025, subject to customary conditions, indicating a fully marketed and committed raise rather than a best-efforts process.

Pre-funded warrants are used for investors whose purchases would otherwise exceed a 4.99% or, at their election, 9.99% beneficial ownership cap, with a remaining exercise price of CA$0.001 and immediate exercisability on a cashless basis. This structure allows larger investors to participate while staying below ownership limits. The stated use of proceeds focuses on working capital, inventory, servicing floorplan credit lines, general and administrative costs, and patent prosecution for the E-Motion™ powertrain.

Underwriter economics include a 6.5% cash fee on aggregate gross proceeds, an over-allotment option for up to 525,000 additional securities, and five-year underwriter warrants for 175,000 common shares at an exercise price of US$2.50 per share starting August 15, 2025. These additional equity-linked instruments may add to future share issuance, while the immediate impact of the deal will depend on successful closing and subsequent exercise behavior.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 15, 2025, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which we agreed to issue and sell directly to investors, in a firm commitment offering (the “Offering”), an aggregate of 3,500,000 of our common shares, no par value, or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof at an offering price of US$2.00 per common share. The investors participating in the Offering who would have received common shares that would have caused such investor’s beneficial ownership of our common shares to exceed 4.99% (or at the election of investor, 9.99%) of our outstanding common shares after such issuance, are entitled to receive a pre-funded warrant in lieu of common shares.

 

The Offering is expected to close on August 18, 2025 and is anticipated to generate gross proceeds of US$7,000,000 in connection with the Offering, before deducting Underwriter fees and other Offering expenses payable by the Company. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes and working capital, including for inventory management and servicing our floorplan lines of credit, general and administrative expenses and prosecuting patent applications relating to our E-Motion™ electric powertrain technology.

 

The 3,500,000 common shares to be offered in the Offering are expected to be sold pursuant to a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form F-1 (File No. 333-289547), which was initially filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 12, 2025, and was declared effective by the Commission on August 15, 2025.

 

The remaining exercise price of each pre-funded warrant is CA$0.001. The pre-funded warrants are immediately exercisable upon the payment of the outstanding exercise price and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The pre-funded warrants are exercisable on a standard cashless basis. No portion of a pre-funded warrant may be exercised if such exercise causes the holder thereof to have a beneficial ownership of our common shares that exceeds 4.99% (or at the election of investor, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of common shares after such issuance.

 

As part of its compensation for acting as Underwriter for the Offering, we expect to pay the Underwriter a cash fee of 6.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds and also agreed to grant the Underwriter an option expiring 45-days from the effective date of the Registration Statement to purchase up to an additional 525,000 of our common shares or pre-funded warrants to cover over-allotments representing 15% of the common shares and pre-funded warrants sold in the Offering. Additionally, we have agreed to issue to the Underwriter warrants to purchase 175,000 common shares (the “Underwriter Warrants”). The Underwriter Warrants are expected to have a term of five years commencing August 15, 2025, are exercisable commencing August 15, 2025, and are expected to have an exercise price of US$2.50 per common share. The Underwriter Warrants, and the common shares issuable upon exercise thereof, are expected be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

As of the date of this Current Report on Form 6-K no common shares or warrants have been issued or sold; all issuances remain subject to the closing of the Offering. Consummation of the Offering and issuance of common shares or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof remain subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions set forth in the Agreement.
