Shareholders subscribed for 92.2% of the shares available, covering 6,042,031 shares at $6.90 each.

Why now? The offering began on June 8, 2026, and expired on July 15, 2026, made under the company's Form S-3 registration statement. Final results, including adjustments for proration and guaranteed delivery, are expected in a Form 8-K filing on or about July 24, 2026.

What's the endgame? The raise lifts LGL's pro forma cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities to over $85 million.
