Shares of FreeCast were lower after the technology company agreed to a private placement transaction with investors.

Its stock was down 15% at $5.70 in premarket trading Wednesday.

The company said it has entered into securities purchase agreements with new institutional and existing long-term investors to sell 4.67 million Class A shares and pre-funded warrants to purchase 3.24 million shares in a private placement.

FreeCast expects gross proceeds of about $23.7 million and plans to use net proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The closing is expected on Thursday.
