$28M Placement Priced at $0.70/Unit — Roughly Half the Current Share Price
DPU is trading near its 52-week low of $1.3 (4.6% above the low).
Summary
Nexpu priced a $28M private placement of 40M units at $0.70 each to non-U.S. investors, with each unit carrying one share plus a $0.71 warrant. That price is roughly half the $1.36 the stock last traded at, so the deal lands at a steep discount and is heavily dilutive for a company of this size. The raise follows the October 9 Schedule 13D showing CEO and Chairman Ruilin Xu holds 90.71% voting control through Class B shares with 200 votes each, meaning public holders have little say over terms like these. The warrant at $0.71 adds a second layer of dilution if exercised. Watch whether the stock holds the $1.30 52-week low when the new units and warrants hit the market.
