Phunware Stock Is Tanking Wednesday: What's Going On?

Phunware Inc PHUN shares are tumbling Wednesday after the company announced a $7 million registered direct offering.

What Happened: After the market close on Tuesday, Phunware said it entered into a definitive agreement for the issuance and sale of approximately 87.5 million shares of common stock at 8 cents per share.

The direct offering was priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules. All of the shares in the offering are being offered by Phunware.

Phunware anticipates gross proceeds of approximately $7 million. The company said it plans to use net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the expansion of product initiatives such as monetizing its patent portfolio, PhunCoin and PhunToken.
