• Massive Potential Dilution

  The company registered 103,741,100 shares for resale, representing over 2000% potential dilution to current outstanding shares if the full $250 million facility is utilized at the assumed price.

• $250 Million Equity Facility

  This S-1 enables the company to access up to $250 million from an existing Equity Purchase Facility Agreement with SZOP Opportunities I LLC, established on October 24, 2025.

• Critical Capital Raise for Distressed Company

  The capital is crucial for Nauticus Robotics, which has previously disclosed going concern doubts and faces Nasdaq listing compliance challenges, making this a necessary but costly financing.

• Post-Split Figures

  All share and per-share figures in the filing are adjusted for the 1-for-8 reverse stock split that became effective on April 21, 2026.

This S-1 filing registers over 103 million shares for resale under an existing $250 million equity purchase facility. While this facility provides a critical capital lifeline for the financially distressed company, the potential dilution for existing shareholders is over 2000% based on current outstanding shares. This move is necessary to address going concern doubts and Nasdaq listing compliance, but comes at a severe cost to equity value.
