Lilium N.V. (NASDAQ: LILM) (“Lilium”), developer of the first
all-electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) jet and global
pioneer in regional air mobility (RAM), announced today that it has
successfully concluded its previously announced capital raise,
resulting in $114 million of new gross proceeds. The net proceeds
from this capital raise provide additional capital needed to
support Lilium’s operations to achieve the first manned flight test
of the Lilium Jet, targeted to occur in late 2024.
The $114 million in gross proceeds is being
raised through three transactions: (a) an underwritten public
offering of Lilium’s Class A ordinary shares (“Class A Shares”) and
accompanying warrants to purchase Class A Shares for approximately
$40 million, which closed today; (b) a concurrent private placement
of Class A Shares and accompanying warrants to purchase Class
A Shares (“PIPE Warrants”) for approximately $50 million with
participation from key strategic and existing Lilium investors,
including BIT Capital and Earlybird Venture Capital, with
approximately $26 million expected to close on or around May 31,
2024 and approximately $24 million expected to close on or around
June 28, 2024, and (3) a concurrent private placement of a
pre-funded warrant to purchase Class A Shares and an
accompanying PIPE Warrant to Aceville Pte. Limited, an affiliate of
Tencent Holdings Limited (“Aceville”), with Aceville funding
approximately $24 million to partially prepay at $1.00 per Class A
Share against the total exercise price of the pre-funded warrant,
subject to certain adjustments and limitations, expected to close
on or around June 28, 2024.
Klaus Roewe, CEO of Lilium, commented: “We
appreciate the support from existing Lilium partners and new
investors alike. We have a robust set of strategic and financial
investors that are comprised of some of the brightest minds in the
disruptive technology sector, and their consistent support,
including participation in this capital raise, is a testament to
the progress we are making in bringing the revolutionary Lilium Jet
to market.”
B. Riley Securities, Inc. acted as the sole
bookrunner and underwriter for the underwritten public offering.
Lilium intends to further discuss its recent developments and
progress with the release of its Q1 2024 quarterly shareholder
letter on Tuesday, June 11, before market open, and will host of a
conference call that same day at 8 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time
(EDT). Additional information on these events will soon follow.
