Analysis · GEVI · Industrial Applications And Services
This is survival capital, not growth capital: CitroTech is raising $5.6 million gross (about $5.0 million net) by selling 2,240,000 new shares at $2.50, well below the $4.27 per share indicated when the S-1 was filed on September 28, 2026, and below the $2.60 close on October 20, 2026. The company had $2.5 million of cash at June 30, 2026 against a $10.1 million first-half loss and a going-concern warning. Existing holders absorb real dilution as the share count goes from 22,718,180 to 24,958,180, and new buyers are paying $2.50 for $0.31 of pro forma net tangible book value, a $2.19 immediate dilution. A 90-day lock-up on insiders and 5% holders limits near-term selling pressure, but the deal also leaves 2.6 million warrants and 707,163 preferred-conversion shares as further overhang.
