Raytech Holding is raising $6.2 million by issuing 3.15 million new shares at $1.97 each, a 33.7% discount to the current market price. This offering will more than double the number of outstanding shares, resulting in over 115% dilution for existing shareholders. A significant portion (63.4%) of this deeply discounted offering is being purchased by affiliates of the company's directors and largest shareholder, with the company bypassing Nasdaq shareholder approval requirements by using a foreign private issuer exemption. This suggests a desperate need for capital on unfavorable terms, heavily impacting existing unaffiliated shareholders.
