AXT prices $550m public offering at $64.25 per share to raise $550m
AXT Inc of Fremont, CA, USA — which makes gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP) and germanium (Ge) substrates and raw materials at plants in China — has priced its underwritten public offering of 8,560,311 shares of common stock (announced on 20 April) at $64.25 per share.
Gross proceeds to the company are expected to be about $550m, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.
In addition, AXT granted the underwriter a 30-day overallotment option to purchase up to 1,284,046 additional shares at the public offering price, minus the underwriting discounts. If the overallotment option is fully exercised, the firm expects to receive aggregate gross proceeds of about $632.5m, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses. The offering is expected to close on or about 22 April, subject to customary closing conditions.
AXT intends to use the net proceeds from the offering primarily to financially support its subsidiary Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co Ltd in its efforts to increase its capacity to produce indium phosphide substrates for export worldwide, for R&D on new or improved products, and for working capital and for general corporate purposes.
Northland Capital Markets is acting as sole bookrunner for the offering. Needham & Company, B. Riley Securities, Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC and Wedbush Securities Inc. are acting as co-managers.
