This 424B3 prospectus supplement finalizes the operational terms for Direct Digital Holdings to potentially issue up to $50 million in Class A Common Stock to Roth Principal Investments under a committed equity facility, which was previously announced and finalized on May 21, 2026. The shares would be sold at a 7.4% discount to VWAP. While no shares have been sold as of this filing, the registration of 20 million shares for resale enables the company to begin issuing stock, which represents a potential dilution of over 2800% to existing shareholders. This highly dilutive financing is a critical measure for the company, which is operating under a "going concern" warning and faces Nasdaq delisting threats.
