Insights

CleanCore adds a large ATM facility while restructuring prior agent economics.

CleanCore Solutions has arranged a Controlled Equity Sales Agreement allowing sales of up to $750,000,000 in common stock through Cantor and Curvature. This structure gives flexibility to raise equity gradually via at-the-market offerings and negotiated block trades under an existing shelf registration.

Proceeds are earmarked for the AI Critical Infrastructure Business, including site acquisition, power procurement, and facility development, plus broader corporate needs and potential business disposals. Actual dilution and capital raised will depend on how much stock is sold and at what prices over time.

To replace its prior at-the-market program, the company is paying Maxim $1,000,000 and Curvature $500,000, cutting warrant exercise prices on 5,250,013 shares and granting Curvature a 0.20% fee on future at-the-market deals for two years from May 29, 2026. These concessions highlight ongoing reliance on capital markets intermediaries for future financings.

Controlled Equity Sales Agreement financial
"entered into a Controlled Equity Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co."
at the market offerings financial
"transactions deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4)"
At-the-market offerings are a way for a company to raise cash by selling newly issued shares directly into the open market at the current trading price through a broker, rather than in a single large sale. Think of it like topping up a gas tank a little at a time at whatever the pump price is; it gives the company flexibility to raise money when conditions are favorable but can increase the number of shares outstanding and dilute existing investors, and frequent or large sales can put downward pressure on the stock price.
Registration Statement on Form S-3 regulatory
"pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-289867)"
A registration statement on Form S‑3 is a short, standardized filing a qualified public company uses to register new securities with regulators so they can be sold to investors; think of it as a pre-approved, reusable permission slip that speeds up future offerings. It matters to investors because it lets the company raise money more quickly and cheaply — which can fund growth or pay debt — but may also lead to share dilution or change in ownership, so it affects value and liquidity.
warrants financial
"the exercise price of the five-year warrant to purchase 3,150,008 shares of common stock"
Warrants are special documents that give you the right to buy a company's stock at a set price before a certain date. They are often used as a way for companies to attract investors or raise money, and their value can increase if the company's stock price goes up.
private placement financial
"warrants were originally issued as partial compensation for placement agent services in connection with the Company’s private placement completed on September 5, 2025"
A private placement is a way for companies to raise money by selling securities directly to a small group of investors instead of through a public offering. This process is often quicker and less regulated, making it similar to offering a special, exclusive investment opportunity to select individuals or institutions. For investors, it can provide access to unique investment options that are not available on public markets.

(“Cantor”) and Curvature Securities LLC (“Curvature” and, together with Cantor, the “Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time, through or to the Agents, up to an aggregate of $750,000,000 of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Shares”).

 

The Shares to be sold under the Sales Agreement, if any, will be issued and sold pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-289867), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on August 26, 2025, and declared effective by the Commission on August 29, 2025 (the “Registration Statement”). The Company filed a prospectus supplement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act on June 8, 2026 in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, sales of the Shares, if any, may be made in negotiated transactions, including block trades, transactions deemed to be “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act or by any other method permitted by the Sales Agreement and any applicable law. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares and may at any time suspend offers under the Sales Agreement or terminate the Sales Agreement. The Agents may also decline to accept the terms contained in any placement notice, suspend sales or terminate the Sales Agreement upon notice to the Company. The Sales Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or the Agents upon ten (10) business days’ prior written notice to the other party, or at any time by the Agents under certain circumstances specified in the Sales Agreement, including upon the occurrence of a material adverse effect. The Company has also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Agents with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sales of the Shares, after deducting the Agents’ commissions and offering expenses, for its AI Critical Infrastructure Business including the identification, evaluation, and potential development of AI critical infrastructure opportunities, including site identification, land acquisition, engineering and feasibility studies, power procurement, permitting, facility construction or retrofit, equipment acquisition, and related development activities. The Company may also use net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, and general and administrative expenses, and to fund costs associated with the potential disposition of the Company’s cleaning products business or the wind-down of the Company’s digital asset treasury strategy.

 

The Sales Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, including mutual obligations of the Company and the Agents to indemnify the other party for certain liabilities, including under the Securities Act, and contribution provisions in the event indemnification is unavailable. Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company will pay the Agents a cash commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from sales of the Shares sold under the Sales Agreement. The Company will also reimburse the Agents for certain specified expenses.

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Company’s common stock in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

 

The foregoing description of the Sales Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sales Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.
