Company raises $4 million to reduce debt, but at a steep cost to shareholders amid Nasdaq compliance pressure.

Shares of Boxlight Corp. (Nasdaq: BOXL), an educational technology company, plunged nearly 35% after the company announced a registered direct stock offering at a significant discount to its recent trading price. The move is intended to raise crucial capital but has raised immediate concerns of shareholder dilution.

The capital raise follows a significant, retail-driven surge in the company's stock price, making the discounted offering price particularly painful for recent investors. The sharp drop in share price reflects the market's negative reaction to the dilutive effects of issuing new shares at a price well below the recent highs.

This financing comes at a critical time for Boxlight. The company is currently working to address a notice of noncompliance from Nasdaq regarding its minimum stockholders' equity requirement. , Boxlight has until early October 2025 to submit a plan to regain compliance and avoid potential delisting. While the $4 million raised will help bolster its balance sheet, it has come at the cost of significant shareholder value.

The offering is expected to close on or about September 24, 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Investors will now be watching closely to see if management can leverage the new funds to effectively address its debt and satisfy Nasdaq's listing requirements.
