Volcon (VLCN) entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors in a private placement for the purchase and sale of 50,142,851 shares of common stock (or par value pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) at a price of $10.00 per share, for expected aggregate gross proceeds of over $500,000,000, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. Empery Asset Management acted as lead investor, and the offering included participation by prominent crypto venture capital firms and infrastructure providers such as FalcolnX, Pantera, Borderless, RK Capital, and Relayer Capital with strong participation from prominent traditional financial investors. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about July 21, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company intends to promptly use at least 95% of the gross proceeds to acquire Bitcoin, which will serve as the Company’s primary treasury reserve asset. To successfully execute this Bitcoin treasury strategy, the Company has entered into a Strategic Digital Assets Services Agreement with Gemini Nustar, an affiliate of Gemini Trust Company. The Company has added by appointment Ryan Lane, Ian Read, Rohan Chauhan and Matthew Homer to serve on the board of directors until elections are held at the Company’s next shareholder meeting. Clear Street acted as lead placement agent and Aegis Capital acted as co-placement agent and exclusive financial advisor in connection with the Private Placement.
