SkyAI Launches $3.00 Cash Tender Offer for Common Stock and Prefunded Warrants
SKYA has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $0.91.
Summary
SkyAI announced a cash tender offer to purchase its common stock and prefunded warrants at $3.00 each, a 64% premium to the current $1.83 share price. The offer is expected to commence on or about October 15 and continue for 10 business days. This is a significant capital return move, especially given the company's recent $109.5M net loss and ongoing takeover defense. The board has rejected Forward Industries' latest unsolicited, non-binding acquisition proposal. The tender follows an activist campaign by Bastion Trading and could be a defensive tactic to consolidate ownership or return value to shareholders. The $3.00 price is well above market, suggesting strong intent to buy back a meaningful portion of shares.
At the time of this announcement, SKYA was trading at $1.83 on NASDAQ in the Crypto Assets sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $78.7M. The 52-week trading range was $0.91 to $6.85.
