HOUSTON, TX, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abundia Global Impact Group, Inc. (NYSE:AGIG) ("Abundia" or the "Company"), a low-carbon energy solutions company focused on converting biomass and plastics waste into high-value low-carbon fuels, today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with a new fundamental institutional investor for the purchase and sale of 5,934,718 shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) in a registered direct offering. The offering is expected to result in gross proceeds of approximately $20 million, before deducting offering expenses. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about February 23, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this investment to complete the Front-End Engineering and Design (FEED) study, finalize the acquisition of RPD Technologies, reduce debt, initiate construction of its innovation hub, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Titan Partners, a division of American Capital Partners, is acting as the sole placement agent for the offering.

"Today's financing represents an important milestone for Abundia as we advance toward commercial deployment," said Ed Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer of Abundia. "This transaction will meaningfully de-risk our near-term objectives and is expected to fully fund the completion of our FEED study, the advancement of the RPD Technologies acquisition, and the accelerated development of our innovation hub. Together, these initiatives represent critical value inflection points as we build a scalable platform for long-term growth."

This offering is being made in the United States pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-290308) previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") that became effective on November 3, 2025.
