    Corporate update summarized significant milestones achieved and highlighted potential milestones. Update clarified the timing of FEED engineering and project financing, while reinforcing information discussed in two recent presentations by CEO Pat Gruber at NobleCon 17 and on a fire side chat for Water Tower Research (WTR) earlier this week.

    Major achievement is funding secured for equity investments in first two Net-Zero plants.  As stated in our recent research notes, significant capital raises increased pro forma cash to ~$535 million, which locks in the majority of the equity investments for the first two Net-Zero plants. Using a mix of 70% debt/30% equity, Gevo might fund all of the equity in Net Zero 1 (~$210—$240 million) and the …

    Massive equity offering priced and pro forma cash is $534 million. A $350 million equity offering of 43.75 million shares at $8.00/share should generate about $321.7 million after expenses and pro forma cash should be $533.6 million, up from $78.6 million on December 29th, an increase of $133.3 million. In addition to the offering, we estimate that the ATM program generated $135.8 million through the issuance of 24.4 million shares at an average price of $5.56/share and exercises of 1.9 million warrants generated $1.1 million which more than offset estimated cash outflows of ~$3.6 million in the same time frame.

    Cash boost allows funding of majority equity interests in first two Net-Zero plants.  Additional cash is likely to fund majority of equity required for the first two Net-Zero plants and other projects, like the RNG projects in Iowa. Ability to fund equity investments should improve negotiating leverage and financial terms …
