The placement will consist of one share of restricted common stock (or one pre-prefunded warrant to purchase a share of restricted common stock) and warrants exercisable for one and one-half shares of restricted common stock, exercisable at $6 per share.
The offering is priced above-the-market under Nasdaq rules, and the private placement will close on Dec. 19, the company said.
Despite the rally in the stock price, retail chatter on Stocktwits indicated a mixed take on the stock.

The firm said the acquisition also includes an option agreement that permits Nukkleus to acquire the remaining equity in Star 26 at a later date.
Meanwhile, Nukkleus stock has gained a whopping 38x in the last five days and is currently trading near its one-year highs.
