– Cemtrex, Inc. (Nasdaq: CETX) (the “Company”), an advanced
security technology and industrial services company, today
announced the closing of a firm commitment underwritten public
offering with gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $10
million, before deducting underwriting discounts and other
estimated expenses payable by the Company. The offering was upsized
from $9 million. The base offering consisted of 11,764,705 Common
Units or Pre-Funded Units, each consisting of one share of common
stock (“Common Share”) or one Pre-Funded Warrant, one Series A
Warrant to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.85
per share or pursuant to an alternative cashless exercise option,
which warrant will expire two-and-a-half years from the closing
date of this offering (the “Series A Warrant”) and one Series B
Warrant to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.85
per share, which warrant will expire on the five-year anniversary
