IperionX is raising $50 million through a firm commitment offering, pricing 2.275 million ADSs at $21.98 each—a steep 22.5% discount to the last sale price of $28.36. The discount signals urgency to secure capital despite a strong operational trajectory and recent insider accumulation. Net proceeds of approximately $46 million will fund titanium technology scale-up and critical mineral development, but new investors face immediate dilution of $18.04 per ADS, or 82.1% of the offering price.
