Neptune Wellness Solutions (NASDAQ: NEPT ) stock is taking a beating on Thursday following an announcement for a public offering.
According to a press release, this offering has Neptune Wellness Solutions selling 12,121,212 shares of NEPT stock . These shares are priced at 33 cents each, and the company expects to raise $4 million from the offering.
In addition to this, each share sold in the offering comes with a warrant to purchase another share of NEPT stock. Investors can exercise these warrants immediately for 33 cents, and they expire in five years.
Investors aren’t reacting well to the news, which makes sense. The company is diluting its outstanding shares with this offering, and it’s also devalued the stock with its price. For comparison, NEPT stock closed out Wednesday at 41 cents per share.
