GREENWICH, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Teton Advisors, Inc. (“Teton”) (OTC PINK: TETAA) announces that it has amended its Subscription Rights Offering Circular with the record date set for June 3, 2022 and with the subscription rights period extending through September 21, 2022.

The rights offering will give Teton stockholders the right to receive transferable rights to purchase additional shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a subscription price of $15.50 and record date of June 3, 2022.

Nine (9) subscription rights are needed to subscribe for a new share of Class A common stock. Assuming the rights offering are fully subscribed, the Company expects the gross proceeds of the offering to be approximately $6.8 million. The net proceeds of the offering will be used as working capital for general corporate purposes and for acquisitions, although the Company has not identified any specific acquisitions at this time.

The rights offering will include an over-subscription right, which will provide a stockholder of record, who exercises all of his or her basic subscription rights in full, the right to purchase additional shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the rights offering, subject to the availability and pro rata allocation of shares among persons exercising this over-subscription right. However, rights purchased in the secondary market are not eligible for the over-subscription right.

The Class A common stock issued in connection with the rights offering will be listed on the over-the-counter market (OTC). The subscription rights are also expected to trade on the OTC until five business days before September 21, 2022; the expiration date of the subscription period.

The Company reserves the right to modify, postpone or cancel the rights offering at any time prior to the closing of the issuance of the Class A common stock and Class B common stock in the rights offering.
