As previously disclosed, on June 5, 2022, Gevo, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of 33,333,336 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $4.50 per share, accompanied by Series 2022-A warrants to purchase 33,333,336 shares of the Company’s common stock (each, a “Series 2022-A Warrant”) in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on June 8, 2022, and the Company received net proceeds from the Offering of approximately $139.2 million after placement agent’s fees, advisory fees and estimated offering expenses. Following the closing of the Offering, as of June 15, 2022, the Company has cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities of approximately $555.7 million in the aggregate, which includes the net proceeds from the Offering as set forth above.
In addition to the net proceeds already received by the Company from the Offering, if all 33,333,336 Series 2022-A Warrants were to be exercised in cash at the exercise price of $4.37 per share, the Company would receive additional net proceeds of approximately $145.7 million.
The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K regarding the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities as of June 15, 2022 is unaudited and preliminary and does not present all information necessary for an understanding of the Company’s financial condition as of June 15, 2022.
The information in this Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
