- Provides Visible Funding to Fuel Growing Development Pipeline -

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- On October 27th, 2021, SG Blocks, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGBX) ("SG Blocks" or the "Company"), a leading designer, innovator and fabricator of modular structures, closed on the issuance of approximately 3.16 million shares of common stock (or common stock equivalents in lieu thereof in the form of pre-funded warrants) together with warrants to purchase up to approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock, for total gross proceeds of approximately $11.55 million. Each share of common stock and accompanying common warrant were sold together at a combined offering price of $3.65, and each common stock equivalent and accompanying common warrant were sold together at a combined offering price of $3.649. The common stock equivalents will be immediately exercisable at a nominal exercise price of $0.001 and will expire when exercised in full. The common warrants will have an exercise price of $4.80 per share, will be exercisable upon issuance and will expire five years from the date of an issuance.

Use of proceeds will be for working capital as existing projects advance.

Paul Galvin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SG Blocks, commented, “We believe this capital raise was a momentous step for our Company, providing a definitive path forward as we work to roll-out our growing list of projects. We were extremely pleased with the execution, at a 50% premium to our last share issuance, supported by an investment bank with significant real estate experience. We also welcome a world class institutional investor as a new shareholder.”

Mr. Galvin continued, “Given the pipeline of activity we have underway, we believe it was extremely important to ensure we had sufficient capital to meet our co-investment priorities. Having invested approximately $8 million in our pipeline over the past year, this incremental capital provides us with visible funding, as well as should provide optionality with regard to anticipated growing supply chain disruptions and delays. 2021 has already been a record revenue year for SG Blocks. As we look to 2022 and beyond, however, we believe we are at the mere beginning of the opportunity we have to deliver innovative solutions with our world class structures in a variety of applications, from the commercial sector, to healthcare, residential, and other technological functions.”
