Hadron and GigCapital7 have agreed to updated transaction terms reflecting a modified pro-forma equity valuation of Hadron of approximately $600 million to align with current public market conditions and the Company's commitment to entering the public markets from a position of credibility and long-term strength.
In connection with the updated transaction terms, Hadron also announced the successful completion of a $7.5 million pre-IPO equity financing round conducted via Simple Agreements for Future Equity ("SAFE") notes. The round was anchored by a number of strategic investors with deep alignment to Hadron's commercial and technology roadmap, reinforcing institutional confidence in the Company's fundamentals and long-term trajectory ahead of its public listing.
A Market-Aligned Valuation Built for Strength, Not Sentiment
The advanced nuclear and small modular reactor sector has experienced a meaningful valuation recalibration since the market peak in Q4 2025. Publicly traded peers, including companies with NRC design approvals and multi-billion-dollar market capitalizations, have seen equity values decline from their late-2025 highs.
Rather than proceed with a transaction structure anchored to a prior market environment, Hadron and GigCapital7 have elected to proactively realign the transaction valuation of Hadron to reflect the objective realities of today's capital markets. This decision is the product of extensive dialogue with a broad cross-section of institutional investors and strategic capital partners over the past four months of SAFE bridge and deSPAC PIPE funding roadshows.
