Insights

UTime raises $1.2M via shares and pre-funded warrants, with short-term issuance limits and insider lock-ups.

UTime Limited completed a registered direct deal for about $1.2 million, selling 200,000 Class A shares at $1.20 and 800,000 pre-funded warrants at $0.70 with a $0.50 exercise price under its Form F-3 shelf.

The structure shifts most of the 1,000,000-share capacity into immediately exercisable pre-funded warrants, which function economically like shares but defer formal issuance until exercise, subject to beneficial ownership limits and standard adjustment provisions for recapitalizations.

Univest Securities earns a 6.0% cash fee on gross proceeds plus up to $20,000 in expenses. UTime accepts a 30-day restriction on issuing additional equity and 90-day lock-ups for officers and directors, while indicating that net proceeds will support general working capital and corporate needs.

registered direct offering financial
"closed on a best-efforts registered direct offering (the “Offering”)"
A registered direct offering is a way for a company to sell new shares of its stock directly to select investors with regulatory approval. This method allows the company to raise funds quickly and efficiently without needing a public auction, similar to offering exclusive access to a limited number of buyers. For investors, it often provides an opportunity to purchase shares at a favorable price, while giving the company immediate access to capital.
pre-funded warrants financial
"and pre-funded warrants to purchase 800,000 Class A Ordinary Shares"
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
shelf registration statement regulatory
"pursuant to a prospectus supplement on Form 424(b)(5) to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3"
A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.
Placement Agency Agreement financial
"entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Univest Securities, LLC"
lock-up agreements financial
"officers and directors of the Company entered into lock-up agreements"
A lock-up agreement is a contract that prevents company insiders—founders, employees, and early investors—from selling their shares for a set period after a public stock offering. It matters to investors because it keeps a large block of shares off the market temporarily; when the lock-up ends, those holders can sell and this increased supply can cause the stock price to fall, similar to a timed release that suddenly opens a valve.
beneficial ownership limitations financial
"subject to customary beneficial ownership limitations"
Beneficial ownership limitations are rules or contractual caps that restrict how much of a company’s stock an individual or entity can be treated as owning or controlling for legal, regulatory or corporate-governance purposes. They matter to investors because such limits affect voting power, reporting obligations, takeover risk and the ability to increase a stake — like an elevator weight limit or a lane divider that prevents any one car from taking over the whole road.

Pricing and Closing of $1.2 Million Best Efforts Offering

 

On May 4, 2026, UTime Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (the “Company”), closed on a best-efforts registered direct offering (the “Offering”) of approximately $1,200,000, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

 

Under the Offering, the Company sold 200,000 class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.50 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and pre-funded warrants to purchase 800,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) pursuant to a prospectus supplement on Form 424(b)(5) to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-278912) (the “Registration Statement”), previously filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 10, 2024.

 

The offering price for each Class A Ordinary Share is $1.20, and the offering price for each Pre-Funded Warrant is $0.70, which equals the purchase price per share minus the $0.5 per share exercise price of each Pre-Funded Warrant.

 

Each Pre-Funded Warrant has an initial exercise price of $0.50 per Class A Ordinary Share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately and may be exercised at any time until exercised in full, subject to customary beneficial ownership limitations.

 

The exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event of share subdivisions, share dividends and other recapitalization events.

 

The securities in the Offering are being offered to certain investors pursuant to a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated May 1, 2026. On May 1, 2026, the Company also entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Univest Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Placement Agent acted as sole placement agent for the Offering and is entitled to a cash fee equal to 6.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds in the Offering and reimbursement for legal fees and other out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses up to $20,000.

 

The Company agreed in the Purchase Agreement that it and its subsidiaries would not issue, enter into any agreement to issue, or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any Class A ordinary shares, or Ordinary Share Equivalents (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) for thirty (30) days following the closing of the Offering subject to certain exceptions.

 

Concurrently with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the officers and directors of the Company entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, not to sell or dispose of any shares which are or will be beneficially owned by them for 90 days following the closing of the Offering.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general working capital purposes and other general corporate purposes.
