Analysis · NCPL · Finance
Netcapital has entered an equity purchase agreement that allows it to sell up to $15 million in common stock to Hudson Global Ventures over 24 months. The deal includes a 1,000,000-share warrant exercisable at $0.50 per share — a premium to the current $0.4994 price — and a registration rights agreement requiring a resale registration statement within 90 days. Future puts will be priced at 92% of the lowest traded prices during the valuation period, a deeply dilutive formula that could pressure the stock. Without shareholder approval, the agreement is capped at 1,568,795 shares. This financing arrives amid a series of high-cost convertible debt deals and a going-concern warning, signaling the company's urgent need for capital and willingness to accept highly dilutive terms.
