Shares of Lightpath Technologies fell after the company disclosed a $100 million registered direct and secondary offering.
The stock declined 11%, to $14.78, in premarket trading Tuesday. Through Monday's close, shares are up more than 50% so far this year.
The optics and imaging company said it and North Run Strategic Opportunities Fund I entered into a security purchase agreement with institutional investors for the purchase and sale of 7.14 million shares of Lightpath's Class A common stock.
The shares will be sold for $14 apiece, with half being sold by Lightpath and half being sold by North Run.
Lightpath expects to receive gross proceeds of $50 million and said it will use net proceeds for working capital, investments, acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
The offering is expected to close on or about Wednesday, with Craig-Hallum acting as sole placement agent.
