  • The fundraise was priced at 3.5p per share, representing a discount to the prior 4p close and sparking dilution concerns.
  • Proceeds are intended to finance the acquisition of Solid State Technologies Ltd.
  • The downward move appears company-specific, occurring while broader market futures remain only modestly lower.
