[Nasdaq: KSCP] (“Knightscope” or the “Company”), an innovator in robotics and artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies focused on public safety, today announces the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 1,210,000 shares of its Class A common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) at a public offering price of $10.00 per share. The pre-funded warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The purchase price of each pre-funded warrant sold in the offering will be equal to the price at which a share of common stock is sold in the offering, minus $0.001, and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant will equal $0.001 per share. In connection with the offering, Knightscope has granted the underwriter a 30-day option to purchase an additional 181,500 shares of Class A common stock (or pre-funded warrants) from the Company at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering is expected to close on or about November 25, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

The gross proceeds of the offering are expected to be $12.1 million, excluding the exercise of the underwriter’s option, if any, of approximately $1.8 million, and excluding underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering-related expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital.
