Analysis · PURR · Crypto Assets
The definitive proxy finalizes the shareholder vote on removing the Exchange Cap from the $2.5 billion Chardan committed equity facility. Approval would allow Hyperliquid to issue shares beyond 42,641,847 (19.99% of outstanding) at prices below $12.02, unlocking the full $2.5 billion commitment. With 278.3 million shares outstanding and the stock at $11.96, the company is asking shareholders to authorize potentially massive dilution — the full facility represents roughly 209 million additional shares at current prices, more than 75% of the existing float. The proxy also introduces Jeffrey Sonnenfeld as a new director nominee and ratifies CBIZ CPAs as auditor, but the Nasdaq Proposal is the market-moving item.
