Analysis
Farmmi, a micro-cap company, is raising $5.8 million by issuing 16.57 million Class A Ordinary Shares at $0.35 per share. This offering represents approximately 120% of the company's currently outstanding shares, leading to severe dilution for existing shareholders. The offering price is at a deep discount to the last reported market price of $1.36, indicating a distressed capital raise.
