This amendment finalizes the terms of the $125 million public offering that will fund the reverse merger with Gravitics. The assumed price of $15.50 per share is far above the current OTC price of $0.07, reflecting the post-merger entity's expected Nasdaq listing and the space infrastructure business being acquired. The offering will dramatically dilute existing NIMU shareholders — they will own only about 3.5% of the combined company after the merger, and the new investors will own about 20% after the offering. The filing also reveals a $1 million bridge loan with a 50% original issue discount per 30-day period, an extremely expensive financing that underscores the company's cash constraints before the deal closes.
