Mobix Labs Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBX) (“Mobix Labs”), a fabless
semiconductor company developing disruptive next-generation
connectivity solutions that span from wired to next-generation

Riley”).
Under this agreement, B. Riley has committed to purchasing,
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, up to $100
million of Mobix Labs Class A common stock (the “common stock”),
with the per share price to be determined based on market prices.
Mobix Labs is under no obligation to sell its common stock under
the agreement, and the timing of any sales, are solely at the
discretion of Mobix Labs. The price, amount, and maximum number of
shares of common stock sold per sale will be determined by the
terms of the agreement. Further details about the agreement will be
included in a Form 8-K that Mobix Labs will file with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
Mobix Labs' CEO, Fabian Battaglia, expressed enthusiasm
regarding the announcement, highlighting the potential benefits of
this new funding source. “This strategic financing is anticipated
to enable us to expedite the realization of our growth strategy,
particularly in the development of disruptive mmWave 5G and C-Band
wireless solutions. Furthermore, it is expected to provide us with
a financing source to position us to deliver cutting-edge
connectivity and filtering products tailored for next-generation
communications systems, with a keen focus on critical sectors such
as aerospace, military, and high reliability markets. We are
honored to collaborate with B. Riley in the execution of our
business model and remain confident in our long-term growth
prospects.”
Keyvan Samini, President, and Chief Financial Officer of Mobix
Labs, emphasized the significance of this new financial milestone.
“We believe that the securing of up to $100 million provides us
with financial flexibility essential for accelerating our merger
and acquisition strategy. This committed equity facility is
anticipated to provide an additional funding source that will help
accelerate Mobix Labs' growth trajectory and enhance shareholder
value within a shorter timeframe. Our commitment remains steadfast
in executing strategic acquisitions aimed at bolstering cash flow
and expanding into new markets.”
The issuance of the shares of common stock under the agreement
will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Securities Act”), and will be issued in reliance on the
exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated
