  Underwriters fully exercised the 1.6M share option, bringing total shares sold to 12.3M at $21.00 each. Net proceeds rose to ~$245.4M from the original $200M target.

• Dilution Hits ~20%

  The 12.3M new shares represent roughly 20% of the prior outstanding count, significantly diluting existing holders. Pricing at $21.00 is a 16.5% discount to the current $25.16 stock price.

• Proceeds Earmarked for Manufacturing

  Capital will fund expansion of manufacturing capacity, supporting a 380 MW data center agreement with Fit Energy announced June 24. Working capital and general purposes are also cited.

• Lock-Up Until September 7

  Officers and directors agreed not to sell shares for 60 days post-offering, expiring September 7, 2026. This limits near-term insider selling pressure.
