What are the planned uses of the proceeds from the offering?

Planned Use of Proceeds:

The offering is a secondary, under‑written sale by a existing shareholder rather than a primary capital raise by Curiosity Stream itself. As a result, all of the net proceeds will go directly to the selling stockholder, and the company will not receive any of the cash raised. The prospectus does not indicate that any portion of the proceeds will be allocated to corporate initiatives, debt repayment, or working‑capital needs; the proceeds are solely for the benefit of the selling shareholder.

Trading Implications:

Because the company does not receive funding, the offering does not change Curiosity Stream’s balance‑sheet strength or its ability to finance growth. The market impact will be limited to potential dilution for existing shareholders and the usual supply‑demand dynamics of a secondary sale, which may put modest downward pressure on the share price in the short term, especially given the underwriters’ 15% over‑allotment option. Traders should watch the opening price and order flow for signs of buying support—if the market perceives the shares as fairly priced, the impact may be muted. However, any significant price decline could present a short‑term buying opportunity for investors who view the company’s fundamentals (steady subscription revenue and expanding content portfolio) as strong, provided they are comfortable with the modest dilution risk.
