• Public Offering Priced

  327,273 shares sold at $2.75 per share, generating ~$0.9 million in gross proceeds before fees.

• Financial Impact

  Net proceeds after 7% underwriting discount and ~$50K in legal fees will be used for working capital and debt reduction; dilution of ~8% to existing shareholders (based on ~4M shares outstanding post-reverse split).

• Going Concern Context

  The company reiterated a going-concern warning in its last 10-Q; this raise provides short-term liquidity but does not eliminate the risk of future dilutive financings.

• Over-Allotment Option

  Underwriter has a 45-day option to purchase up to 36,364 additional shares at the same price, potentially increasing gross proceeds to ~$1.0 million.

Banzai International closed a $0.9 million underwritten public offering of 327,273 shares at $2.75 per share, a modest discount to the current $2.70 price. The offering provides critical working capital for a company with a going-concern warning and a history of highly dilutive financings. While the raise is small relative to the recent $13.26M ConnectAndSell acquisition, it extends the cash runway and avoids deeper discount structures seen in prior debt-for-equity exchanges. The 7% underwriting discount and 20-day lock-up are standard, but the over-allotment option adds potential further dilution. Against a backdrop of a 1:20 reverse split in May 2026 and a stock down significantly from pre-split levels, this offering is a survival move that buys time but does not resolve the underlying cash burn.
