Antelope Enterprise Holdings Limited (NASDAQ:AEHL) shares are trending on Wednesday night.

Shares of the Chinese livestreaming e-commerce and business consulting services provider surged 19.85% to $11.05 in after-hours trading on Wednesday following the company’s announcement that it closed a $6 million offering.

Convertible Note Terms Fuel The Rally

According to the announcement made before markets opened on Wednesday, the offering was of 8.00% convertible promissory notes to an accredited investor. Antelope Enterprise received net proceeds of approximately $5.965 million after deducting estimated offering expenses.

The news resonated positively in the regular session, as AEHL rallied 78.68% to close at $9.22, according to Benzinga Pro data.

The notes carry no fixed maturity date, with interest accruing from Sept. 10 until paid in full, payable in cash. Holders can convert into Class A ordinary shares at 80% of the lowest three-day volume-weighted average price.

Dilution Guardrails Built Into The Deal

The company said that conversions are subject to Nasdaq’s 19.99% limit on share issuance, a 9.99% limit on beneficial ownership, and a 12 million share registration cap.

The notes were offered under a Form F-3 shelf registration statement, a short-form registration used by eligible foreign private issuers, which became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5.

According to a last week announcement, the notes were priced to Stratosphere Capital Management Inc., under a note purchase agreement signed on Sept. 9.

In August, Antelope Enterprise also disclosed an $18.99 million private placement of 15 million Class A ordinary shares, including warrants to purchase 15 million additional shares.
