Anonymous
Electra Battery Materials Corporation (NASDAQ: ELBM; TSX-V: ELB) has released its latest quarterly update on capital markets activity, revealing share issuances under its at-the-market equity program and new share grants to employees and directors, according to Montreal Gazette.
The most recent transaction under the ATM program took place on June 2, 2026. The program allows Electra to raise up to US$25 million by issuing shares directly from treasury at its own discretion, Financial Post reported.
ATM Program Gives Electra Flexible Access to US$25 Million
Electra's at-the-market equity program lets the company sell Common Shares on the open market as needed. The company can raise up to US$25 million in total under this facility. It draws on the program at its own discretion, meaning it can time share sales to suit market conditions, according to Financial Post.
The ATM is a common tool for publicly traded companies. It avoids the need for a large, fixed-price share offering. Instead, the company can sell smaller amounts over time. The last sale under this program happened on June 2, 2026, Fort McMurray Today noted.
Employees and Directors Acquire Shares Through Equity Programs
Under the Employee Share Purchase Program (ESP), employees bought 26,256 Common Shares in the most recent period. A further 26,269 shares were purchased more than a year after the program was first approved, The Sudbury Star reported.
The ESP lets employees invest directly in the company. It is designed to align employee interests with shareholders. Buying shares ties workers' financial outcomes to the company's performance, according to Stratford Beacon Herald.
Directors Receive 91,954 Deferred Share Units as Compensation
Electra granted 91,954 Deferred Share Units (DSUs) to its non-employee directors under its Deferred Share Unit Plan, Chatham Daily News reported. DSUs are a form of deferred compensation. They let directors receive the value of shares at a later date, rather than receiving cash or shares right away.
Using DSUs is a standard way to compensate board members while keeping their interests tied to long-term share performance. The units are not paid out until the director leaves the board, Owen Sound Sun Times noted.
Electra Pushes Ahead as Battery Materials Sector Grows
Electra Battery Materials is focused on building battery-grade cobalt and other critical mineral supply chains in North America. The company's dual listing on NASDAQ and the TSX Venture Exchange reflects its push to attract both Canadian and US investors, according to Pembroke Observer.
The quarterly capital markets update is required under stock exchange rules. It keeps investors informed about new shares issued and insider participation. Transparency around these programs helps the market understand potential dilution, The Observer reported.
