• ATM Program Activated

  Under its existing $250 million shelf registration, K Wave Media entered an Equity Distribution Agreement with D. Boral Capital to sell up to $5,058,329 of ordinary shares in at-the-market offerings.

• Massive Potential Dilution

  At the illustrative price of $0.075 per share (last reported sale price on July 30, 2026), the program could issue up to 67,444,386 new shares — an 85.9% increase over the 78,514,509 shares currently outstanding.

• High Cost of Capital

  D. Boral will receive a 7.0% commission on gross sales proceeds plus 1.0% for non-accountable expenses, reducing net cash available to the company.

• Nasdaq Delisting Threats Loom

  The company is non-compliant with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price and $15 million minimum public float requirements, with compliance deadlines in January 2027 and December 2026, respectively.

An at-the-market equity program has been activated under K Wave Media's $250 million shelf, authorizing sales of up to $5.1 million in ordinary shares through D. Boral Capital. At the last reported price of $0.075, the program could add roughly 67.4 million shares — an 86% increase over the current 78.5 million outstanding. The company faces Nasdaq delisting over both a sub-$1 bid price and a sub-$15 million public float, and this ATM provides a lifeline to raise cash but at the cost of severe dilution for existing holders. The 7% agent commission plus 1% expense allowance further reduces net proceeds. Against a market cap of only $6.6 million, even partial execution of this program would meaningfully reshape the shareholder base.
