NEW YORK, Feb. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GD Culture Group Limited ("GDC" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:GDC), and its subsidiary, AI Catalysis Corp. ("AI Catalysis"), today announced that it has entered into an At-the-Market ("ATM") issuance sales agreement (the "Agreement") with Univest Securities, LLC ("Univest" or the "Sales Agent") under which the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Shares"), having an aggregate offering price of up to $10.0 million through the Sales Agent or any of its sub-agent(s) or other designees, acting as sales agent.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell the Shares, if any, only by methods deemed to be an "at-the-market" offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), including, without limitation, sales made directly through the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other trading market on which the Company's common stock is listed or quoted or to or through a market maker. In addition, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, with the Company's prior written consent, the Sales Agent may also sell Shares by any other method permitted by law, or as may be required by the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC or such other trading market on which the Company's common stock is listed or quoted, including, but not limited to, in negotiated transactions. The Sales Agent will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell the Shares in accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement and any applicable Transaction Notice. The Company cannot provide any assurances that the Sales Agent will sell any Shares pursuant to the Agreement.

The Shares have been registered and the offering is being made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-279141) previously filed on May 6, 2024 and declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on August 20, 2024.
