Shelf and ATM Capacity Registered
Form S-3 registers up to $50,000,000 of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities and warrants, including a $1,666,183 at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright at a 3.0% commission. No shares have been sold under either.
-
Baby Shelf Caps Near-Term Sales
Public float was approximately $8,963,061 as of October 22, 2026, so primary sales are limited to one-third of float in any 12-month period; about $1,321,503 was already sold under this rule in the prior 12 months.
-
ATM Dilution at Current Price
At the $3.92 last reported sale price on October 22, 2026, the full $1,666,183 ATM equals roughly 425,000 shares against 1,012,498 shares outstanding — about 42% of the current share count if fully sold.

Cash Need Tied to Drilling Deadline
Proceeds are earmarked for working capital and capital commitments under the Exploration Agreement, which requires initiating the Mandatory Well Operation no later than February 15, 2027.
Analysis · XPON · Manufacturing
Expion has registered the capacity to sell up to $50 million of stock, preferred, debt or warrants over time, and separately set up an at-the-market program with H.C. Wainwright for up to $1,666,183 of common stock at a 3.0% commission. No shares have been sold under either — this is permission to raise, not a raise. The practical constraint is the Baby Shelf rule: with public float of roughly $8.96 million, primary sales are capped at about one-third of float in any 12-month period, and the company has already used about $1.32 million of that allowance. Against a going-concern warning and a cash-hungry oil and gas drilling commitment due by February 15, 2027, this is the mechanism to keep funding operations — and every tranche sold will dilute existing holders. The ATM math is stark: at the $3.92 last reported sale price on October 22, 2026, $1,666,183 is roughly 425,000 shares against 1,012,498 shares outstanding.
