BayFirst Financial Corp. is conducting a primary common stock offering to existing shareholders. The company is registering up to 4,108,072 shares of common stock at $3.50 per share, matching the effective conversion price of a recent private placement of $80 million in mandatorily convertible preferred stock. If fully subscribed, the offering would generate gross proceeds of about $14.38 million, with approximately $14.09 million to BayFirst before expenses and an estimated $13.8 million net.
