Gevo raises $17.2M in share offering

In Colorado, Gevo announced that it has priced its underwritten public offering of common stock units, and agreed to sell 4,300,000 common stock units consisting of one share of common stock and one-tenth of a Series C warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a public offering price of $4.00 per common stock unit. The warrants will have an exercise price of $5.50 per share, be exercisable from the date of original issuance and will expire on May 19, 2020. The shares of common stock and the warrants will be immediately separable and will be issued separately. The gross proceeds to Gevo from this offering are expected to be approximately $17.2 million not including any future proceeds from the exercise of the warrants.

Gevo currently intends to use the net proceeds from the offering, excluding any future proceeds from the exercise of the warrants, to fund working capital and for other general corporate purposes.

In connection with the offering, Cowen and Company, LLC is acting as sole manager.

The offering of common stock units was made pursuant to Gevo’s shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and declared effective, and is expected to close on or about May 19, 2015, subject to customary closing conditions.
