At $10 per unit, this transaction secured an additional $10 million in gross proceeds, escalating the total units sold in the offering to 8.5 million and total gross proceeds to $85 million before deductions.

These shares and rights will trade separately under the symbols 'CHAR' and 'CHARR' on Nasdaq. Clear Street served as the book-running manager, with Robinson & Cole LLP and Winston & Strawn LLP acting as legal counsel.
