$3.3M Private Placement Priced At-the-Market Amid Activist Turmoil
WLDS has more than doubled off its 52-week low of $1.3.
Summary
Wearable Devices priced a $3.3 million private placement with a single institutional investor, selling 1 million shares and warrants at $3.285 per share — at-the-market under Nasdaq rules and above the last close. The warrants are exercisable immediately at $3.16 for five years. This follows a 1-for-3 reverse split in June and an activist shareholder group demanding a board overhaul just days ago, then selling part of its stake. The raise provides working capital for Mudra product commercialization and AI6 Labs initiatives, but the dilution and timing amid governance turmoil add uncertainty. Closing is expected around August 3.
