CFOAM has already received commitments from existing major shareholders and intends to issue over 19 million shares at a price of 10.5 cents.
Funds from the placement will be put towards shaping the company’s platform expansion plan, as well as exploring opportunities to bring on more U.S. strategic partners.
Currently, CFOAM is focused on meeting market demand for high-grade carbon material products in the aerospace, military and commercial industries.
