Insights

Financial Analyst

The IPO of BrilliA Inc marks a significant milestone with $10 million raised through 2.5 million Class A shares priced at $4.00 each. The relatively modest IPO size and pricing suggest a conservative market entry strategy. The underwriter's option for an additional 15% shares could potentially bring in $1.5 million more in capital.

The planned use of proceeds focuses on platform development and B2B expansion, indicating a growth-oriented strategy. However, investors should note this is a small-cap IPO in a challenging market environment. The firm commitment underwriting structure provides some validation, though A.G.P. is a boutique investment bank rather than a major underwriter, which could impact initial trading liquidity and institutional interest.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BrilliA Inc (“BRIA” or “the Company”) today announced the closing of its previously announced initial public offering of an aggregate of 2,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the “Offering”) at an offering price of $4.00 per share to the public, for a total of $10,000,000 in gross proceeds to the Company, before deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses. The shares began trading on the NYSE American stock exchange on November 27, 2024, under the ticker symbol "BRIA."

In addition, the Company has granted the underwriters an option, exercisable within 45 days from the closing date of the Offering, to purchase up to an additional 375,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at the Offering Price, representing 15% of the Class A Ordinary Shares sold in the Offering.

The net proceeds from the initial public offering are expected to be used for development of the digital marketing platform, research and development, expansion of existing B2B business, and general working capital and corporate purposes.

The offering was conducted on a firm commitment basis. A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.”) was the sole Book-Running manager for the offering.

The Offering was conducted pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-1 (File No. 333-282056) previously filed with and subsequently declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 19, 2024.
