Dyadic International entered into definitive agreements for a $2.9 million registered direct offering and concurrent private placement. The offering includes 3,625,000 shares at $0.795 per share and warrants to purchase an equal number of shares at $0.84 per share. The warrants have a five-year term and were sold at $0.005 each. The company also agreed to a 90-day standstill on equity issuances, a 90-day lock-up for insiders, and registration rights for the warrant shares. This capital raise is critical for Dyadic, which recently disclosed a going concern warning with only $4.8 million in cash. The offering price is slightly above the current market price of $0.7702, indicating some investor demand despite the company's financial distress. The warrants provide additional potential dilution if exercised, but the immediate proceeds extend the company's cash runway.
