Analysis · DFNS · Trade & Services
T3 Defense filed an S-1 to register 5.1 million additional shares for resale by selling stockholders, on top of the 30 million shares already registered in July. The new shares represent roughly 64% of the current 2.84 million shares outstanding, a highly dilutive overhang. The filing also reveals post-reverse-split conversion and exercise prices that are far above the current $10.18 stock price, meaning the warrants are unlikely to be exercised for cash and the company may not receive the $15 million in potential proceeds it cites. This comes as the company faces a Nasdaq delisting notice for failing the minimum stockholders' equity rule and has a going concern warning in its latest 10-Q.
