Centrus Energy announced a $500 million public offering after the close, consisting of 500,000 common shares, prepaid warrants for roughly 2 million additional shares and warrants for up to nearly 7 million more shares, creating significant potential dilution. The stock fell about 3% in premarket trading after the offering was priced at roughly $199.64 per share. The company cited general working capital, technology development, debt repayment, investments and possible acquisitions as uses of proceeds, without naming specific value-enhancing projects.
