Offering Closed, $4.59M Net Proceeds
The $6M best-efforts offering closed October 9, 2026. DarkIris received $4.59M net after a 5.0% placement agent fee and up to $80,000 in expense reimbursements to Prime Number Capital.
-
Zero-Price Warrant Overhang
4,166,666 warrants carry a $2.04 exercise price but include a zero-exercise-price option capped at 52,380,944 shares. With the stock at $0.26 — below the $0.28 Floor Price — holders can exercise for no cash and sell into the market.
-
Immediate Dilution Risk
The offering issued 898,965 Class A shares plus 3,267,701 pre-funded warrants exercisable at $0.0001. Full exercise of all warrants and pre-funded warrants would add over 56 million shares to a company with a $1.56M market cap.

Survival Capital at Steep Cost
Proceeds are earmarked for working capital. The raise follows a $1.90M first-half loss and precedes a shareholder-approved 1-for-50 reverse split mechanism, suggesting the company is funding operations through highly dilutive financing.
Analysis · DKI · Technology
On October 9, 2026, DarkIris closed a $6 million best-efforts offering, receiving $4.59 million in net proceeds after placement agent fees and expenses. The deal carries aggressive warrant terms: 4.17 million warrants exercisable at $2.04 per share, but with a zero-exercise-price option that lets holders receive shares without paying cash, capped at 52.38 million shares. With the stock trading at $0.26 — below the $0.28 Floor Price — the zero-price option is immediately in-the-money, meaning warrant holders can convert at no cost and dump shares into the market. This is a highly dilutive structure for a company with a market cap of only $1.56 million, and the capital raise comes against a backdrop of a $1.90 million first-half loss and a recently approved 1-for-50 reverse split mechanism.
