Brand Engagement Network sells $1.05 million of stock at $8.50, above $7.07 close

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 financing Written later

Brand Engagement Network agreed on September 21, 2026 to sell 123,650 common shares at $8.50 each in a private placement for $1,051,025 gross, a premium of more than 20% to the $7.07 close on September 21. Only $150,025 is funded at the initial closing, with the remaining $901,000 due in five monthly installments through February 5, 2027, and the buyers also receive six-month warrants at $8.50 for up to 123,650 more shares, so shareholders face dilution if the deal is completed.
