• Underwritten Public Offering Finalized

  The company completed an underwritten public offering on May 6, 2026, issuing 18,918,918 shares of common stock at $1.85 per share, with net proceeds of approximately $32.8 million. Underwriters also have a 30-day option to purchase up to 2,837,837 additional shares.

• Significant Dilution

  The offering represents approximately 13.3% dilution based on the base shares issued, or up to 15.3% if the underwriters' option is fully exercised, relative to the 142.3 million shares outstanding as of May 14, 2026.

• Warrant Exercise Price Reduced

  The exercise price for 9,375,000 outstanding Polar warrants was amended on May 5, 2026, adjusting it from $5.00 per share to $3.00 per share, making them more likely to be exercised and increasing potential future dilution.

• Critical Capital Infusion Amidst Going Concern

  This capital raise is crucial for the company, which recently reported "substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern" in its Q1 2026 10-Q filing. The offering was priced at a premium ($1.85) to the current market price ($1.69).

This filing finalizes the terms and reports the actual sale of shares from an underwritten public offering, a critical event for Blaize Holdings, Inc., which recently disclosed "substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern." The company successfully raised approximately $32.8 million (net) by issuing 18.9 million shares at $1.85 each. While this represents significant dilution for existing shareholders (over 13%), the fact that the offering was priced at a premium to the current market price ($1.69) suggests institutional confidence in the company's valuation and its ability to secure necessary funding. Concurrently, the exercise price of 9.4 million Polar warrants was reduced from $5.00 to $3.00, making future dilution from these warrants more probable. This capital infusion provides a much-needed lifeline to extend the company's operational runway.
