This 424B5 filing finalizes the terms and pricing of the common stock offering, which was previously announced as a preliminary prospectus supplement on February 25, 2026. The offering of 4.6 million shares, priced at $19.75 per share, will generate approximately $85.4 million in net proceeds for LSI Industries. This capital raise is a critical step in financing the $325 million acquisition of Royston Group, a transformational deal announced on February 25, 2026. While the offering is dilutive (approximately 14.78% of outstanding shares) and priced at a discount to the current market price ($19.75 vs. $21.62), it significantly strengthens the company's financial position to execute its growth strategy and complete the acquisition. Investors should note the immediate dilution to existing shareholders but also the strategic importance of securing funding for a major acquisition.
