S-1: Alpha Modus Holdings Files for Resale of Common Stock and Warrants Post-Business Combination
Registration Statement
Alpha Modus Holdings is registering the resale of over 5 million shares of common stock and over 2 million warrants by selling securityholders following its recent business combination.
Summary
- Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. has filed a registration statement for the offer and sale of up to 5,189,638 shares of common stock, 2,325,004 warrants, and 2,325,004 shares of common stock underlying those warrants.
- The selling securityholders include those who received shares as consideration in the Business Combination, upon conversion of a secured convertible promissory note, and those who acquired shares and warrants in private placements related to the INAQ IPO.
- The company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of these securities by the selling securityholders, except for amounts received upon the exercise of the warrants.
- The exercise price of the warrants is $11.50 per share, which is substantially higher than the current trading price of the common stock, making it unlikely that the warrants will be exercised in the near future.
- The resale of these shares could have a significant negative impact on the trading price of Alpha Modus common stock, especially since certain selling securityholders acquired their shares at prices well below the current trading price.
- The 7,514,642 shares that may be resold and/or issued represent approximately 60.2% of the shares of common stock outstanding as of January 30, 2025.
- Alpha Modus is an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company, which allows it to take advantage of reduced public company reporting requirements.
