AEVEX Prices $216M Equity Offering at $27/Share, Significant Discount from Initial Proposal
AVEX is trading near its 52-week low of $22.27 (3.2% above the low).
Summary
AEVEX Corp. has priced its follow-on equity offering at $27.00 per share, selling 8 million shares and raising $216 million, with Goldman Sachs leading the underwriting. This follows the S-1 filing on June 1st which proposed the offering at $38.47 per share, and SEC filings earlier today confirming the completion and pricing. The offering represents significant dilution, adding 8 million shares to the 16 million shares from its recent IPO. The $27.00 pricing is a substantial discount from the initial S-1 proposal, indicating a need to incentivize investors despite the stock trading near its 52-week low.
