$5M Private Placement at Deep Discount
The company agreed to sell 20,000,000 Class A ordinary shares at $0.25 per share, representing a 78.5% discount to the pre-agreement closing price, for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,000,000.

-
Unconventional Payment Terms
Purchasers may pay in USD wire transfer, USDC/USDT stablecoins, or Bitcoin (BTC), with valuation methodology for crypto payments to be approved by the board.
-
Restricted Shares with 6-Month Lock-Up
Shares are issued under Regulation S, bear restrictive legends, and cannot be resold in the U.S. for at least six months, but the overhang remains significant.
Analysis · MEGL · Finance
Magic Empire Global is selling 20 million shares at $0.25 each — a 78.5% discount to the last closing price before the deal was signed. The $5 million raise comes just weeks after a control change and a push to increase authorized shares, suggesting urgent capital needs. While the shares are restricted, the sheer volume — nearly 4x the current Class A outstanding — sets up massive potential dilution once the lock-up expires.
