• Underwriter: Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.; underwriting discount/commission: 6.0% of gross proceeds.
• Expected close: on or about April 28, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.
• Lock-up: Velo3D, its directors, executive officers and certain stockholders agreed not to sell or transfer common stock without the underwriter’s consent for 60 days (subject to exceptions in the prospectus supplement).

Why It Matters The offering will raise roughly $50 million in gross capital for Velo3D, which can affect the company’s cash position and funding plans. For existing shareholders, the issuance increases the share count and therefore dilutes ownership on a per-share basis; net proceeds will be reduced by the 6% underwriting fee and other expenses. The 60-day lock-up limits insider share sales in the near term, which may affect supply in the market. Investors should watch the company’s disclosures for how it intends to use the proceeds and monitor trading around the expected closing date.
