re: Spec Play - HGRAF

is there a specific example of a legitimate brokerage knowingly and deliberately violating SEC law and FINRA regulations by lending shares without consent? Doing so would not be a minor offense and would result in substantial fines and penalties.

The more likely scenario is that users opt in to lending without knowing it, per the terms and conditions agreement that they click “yes” on, and then claim that their shares were lent without permission

Anyway, if you are an HGRAF shareholder you should not be lending your shares. Check your account permissions and turn off that option if it exists

Let’s see this thing explode, on its merits

Also congrats on 31000.

That’s a great number.

I only have 3k, but I'm removing them from lending as we speak.

Good place to be.

HydroGraph Announces C$50 Million Bought Deal Public Offering of Units

CEO.Ca

Looks like $4.90/share with a an option to buy more.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF) (“HydroGraph” or the “Company”), a leading producer of ultra-pure graphene, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp., as sole underwriter and bookrunner (“Canaccord” or the “Underwriter”), pursuant to which the Underwriter has agreed to purchase, on a “bought deal” basis, 7,353,000 units of the Company (the “Units”), at a price of C$6.80 per Unit (the “Offering Price”) for aggregate gross proceeds of C$50,000,400 (the “Underwritten Offering”).

Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one-half (½) of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of C$8.16 for a period of 60 months following the Closing Date (as defined herein).

The Company has also granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 1,102,950 Units to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes at the Offering Price for additional gross proceeds of up to C$7,500,060 (the “Over-Allotment Option” and together with the Underwritten Offering, the “Offering”). The Over-Allotment Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, for a period of 30 days after and including the Closing Date.

The net proceeds of the Offering are expected to be used for business development activities, expansion of American facilities, working capital and general corporate purposes.

Timing is interesting for sure.

They just had a raise earlier in the year…wonder why extra funding is needed now

Can only speculate but hope it’s due to need to fulfill contracts asap

So we’ve had two dilutions after she said we might only need one. (According to my poor memory)
I’m pissed again.
Someone explain this to me.

Better answer from ChatGPT than what I can provide

3. The C$6.80 price is significant.

The deal isn’t being done at some enormous discount just to get the financing completed. Investors are paying C$6.80 per unit, and each unit contains:

* 1 common share
* ½ warrant
* The warrant has an C$8.16 exercise price
* 5-year warrant life

That means the new investors are effectively saying, “We’re willing to put C$50M into HydroGraph today, and we’ll pay another C$8.16 per share if the company performs well enough.”

That’s a pretty interesting vote of confidence.

There’s another thing I like about this deal

The warrants don’t immediately dilute HydroGraph by another full share for every share issued.

HydroGraph is issuing 7.353M shares and approximately 3.677M warrants.

If those warrants eventually get exercised, HydroGraph could receive another:

3.677M × C$8.16 ˜ C$30M

of additional cash.

So you potentially have:

C$50M financing today ? potentially another C$30M later

while the warrant exercise itself would only happen if the stock gets above C$8.16 and holders choose to exercise.

And the company says the money will be used for U.S. facility expansion, business development, working capital and general corporate purposes—not simply plugging a debt hole.

Or this investment company sought HG out and made them a deal they couldn’t refuse, which sure does seem to be the case
