The company will offer 3,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of \$5.00 per share, resulting in expected gross proceeds of approximately \$15.0 million before underwriting discounts, commissions, and other offering-related expenses.

- Funding ongoing operations and the expansion of product capabilities
- Hiring additional employees
- Integrating its software with hardware from various drone manufacturers
- General working capital and other corporate purposes

Company Background and Operations
Swarmer positions itself as a cutting-edge defense technology company specializing in vendor-agnostic technologies for modern military forces. Its core mission areas include:
- Autonomous swarm coordination
