JFB Construction Holdings (JFB
The surge followed the company’s announcement of a $43.9 million private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing.
The company signed a securities purchase agreement with American Ventures LLC, Series XIV JFB, as the sole investor. Under the deal, JFB will issue Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, which is convertible into over 8 million shares of common stock. The agreement also includes 16 million common stock warrants, split between two series.
The offering priced each unit at $5.44, which includes one share of preferred stock and two warrants. The warrants, both immediately exercisable, are set at $5.75 and $6.25 respectively, with a three-year term. Dominari Securities LLC served as the exclusive placement agent in this transaction.
PIPE Deal Structure and Share Redemption
JFB will use $12 million from the net proceeds to redeem Class B common stock held by its CEO, Joseph F. Basile III. The remaining funds will support general corporate operations and liquidity. This share redemption is outlined in a separate agreement accompanying the investment.
The offering comprises 4,389,500 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock at a stated value of $10 per share. Upon complete conversion, this equates to 8,068,933 common shares priced at a conversion rate of $5.44 per share. This pricing structure aligns with the unit offering price and supports the deal’s valuation basis.
Each preferred share unit includes two common stock warrants, bringing potential dilution into focus. Common Warrants A are exercisable at $5.75, while Common Warrants B are priced at $6.25, both valid for three years. All shares and warrants are unregistered, sold exclusively to accredited entities under Regulation D exemptions.
Regulatory Path and Corporate Strategy
JFB agreed to file registration statements with the SEC to enable resale of the underlying shares and warrants. These filings will allow conversion of the preferred stock and warrant exercises into tradable securities. Until then, resale remains restricted under U.S. securities laws.
The company made it clear that this transaction does not constitute a public offering. The securities involved are exempt from registration under the Securities Act and not available for general solicitation. JFB emphasized compliance with all applicable jurisdictional regulations.
The PIPE transaction strengthens the company’s capital structure and positions it for future strategic moves. It also reflects a significant commitment from a single institutional backer. This move may reshape JFB’s corporate and financial landscape over the coming quarters.
