Rivian finalized a substantial capital raise, selling 86.25 million shares at $15.50 each for net proceeds of roughly $1.32 billion. The offering priced at a modest discount to the current $16.73 stock price, reflecting reasonable institutional demand. Proceeds are earmarked for general corporate purposes, including equity contributions tied to a Department of Energy loan facility — a critical step in funding the Georgia plant. While dilutive to existing shareholders, the raise significantly strengthens Rivian's balance sheet against a backdrop of ongoing losses and heavy capital needs.
