NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear”), an
emerging vertically integrated microreactor and advanced nuclear
technology company led by a world-class nuclear engineering team
developing proprietary, portable, and clean energy solutions, is
pleased to announce the closing of its initial public offering of
2,562,500 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $4.00
per share on May 10, 2024.
The gross proceeds to NANO Nuclear from the
offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions
and other offering expenses, were $10,250,000, and net proceeds
were approximately $9,000,000. The shares sold in the offering
began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NNE”
on May 8, 2024.
NANO Nuclear believes that it is the first U.S.
publicly listed company focusing on the design and development of
portable nuclear microreactors. According to the U.S. Department of
Energy, microreactor designs vary, but most are designed to produce
1 to 20 megawatts of thermal energy that could be used directly as
heat or converted to electric power. NANO Nuclear’s current
microreactor designs are for reactors that would produce 1 to 2
megawatts of electric output.
In addition, unlike other small or micro nuclear
reactor companies, NANO Nuclear is seeking to become diversified
and vertically integrated with multiple potential streams of
revenue, including microreactor development, nuclear fuel
fabrication, nuclear fuel transportation and nuclear industry
consulting services.
NANO Nuclear intends to use the net proceeds
from its initial public offering to continue the research and
development of its proprietary microreactor designs, ‘ZEUS’ and
‘ODIN’; advance its exclusive patented license to transport
commercial quantities of HALEU fuel needed for the future
of the advanced nuclear industry; develop a domestic source
for a High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) fuel fabrication
pipeline for NANO Nuclear’s own microreactors and the
broader advanced nuclear reactor industry, as well
as general corporate purposes and working capital.
The Benchmark Company, LLC acted as the sole
book-running representative for the offering. Ellenoff
Grossman & Schole LLP acted as counsel to NANO Nuclear.
Lucosky Brookman LLP acted as counsel to The Benchmark Company.
Withum Smith+Brown PC are NANO Nuclear’s registered independent
auditors.

NANO Nuclear’s products in technical development are
“ZEUS”, a solid core battery reactor, and “ODIN”, a
low-pressure coolant reactor, each representing advanced
developments in clean energy solutions that are portable,
on-demand capable, advanced nuclear microreactors.
Advanced Fuel Transportation Inc.
(AFT), a NANO Nuclear subsidiary, is led by former
executives from the largest transportation company in the world
aiming to build a North American transportation company that will
provide commercial quantities of HALEU fuel to small modular
reactors, microreactor companies, national laboratories, military,
and DOE programs. Through NANO Nuclear, AFT is the exclusive
licensee of a patented high-capacity HALEU fuel transportation
basket developed by three major U.S. national nuclear laboratories
and funded by the Department of Energy. Assuming development and
commercialization, AFT is expected to form part of the only
vertically integrated nuclear fuel business of its kind in North
America.
HALEU Energy Fuel Inc. (HEF), a
NANO Nuclear subsidiary, is focusing on the future development of a
domestic source for a High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) fuel
fabrication pipeline for NANO Nuclear’s own microreactors as well
as the broader advanced nuclear reactor industry.
