LightOn (FR0013230950 - ALTAI), a leading European player in generative AI for businesses and the public sector, today announced the subscription of simple bonds with a nominal value and an equivalent subscription price of €0.9 million.
On this occasion, Igor Carron, CEO and co-founder of LightOn, stated:
“Two months after the announcement of a financing totalling €4 million in nominal value, subscribed by new investors led by Vester Finance, the outstanding balance of this financing has been subscribed. This subscription comes at a time of a promising market for sovereign solutions such as those proposed by LightOn. Our company is solicited by a growing number of public and private stakeholders who are aware of the excellent technical performance of our solutions and submit their identified needs to us. This dynamic allows us to anticipate growth in our business in the coming quarters, as well as a target of achieving profitability at the end of 2026.”
Cash horizon
Based on the total subscription price of €3.7 million, the Company estimates that its current operations are funded until the end of 2027.
The Company remains committed to cost control, optimizing resource allocation while maintaining the required capabilities to achieve its strategic objectives and in seeking private or public funding. Should any of the assumptions regarding estimated revenues or costs or public or private funding change, this could impact the Company’s cash horizon.
Main features of the bond issues
The outstanding balance of the financing announced in the press release dated 13 April 2026, i.e. €0.9 million, has been subscribed.
As considered, the Company has decided, with the agreement of the holders, to convert the 100,003 simple bonds introduced in April 2026 into convertible bonds of the same nature and characteristics as the convertible bonds issued on 13 April 2026 (OC0428) and to which they have been immediately assimilated.
The conversion of simple bonds into convertible bonds was decided by the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, using the sub-delegation granted to him on 2 April 2026 by the Board of Directors, itself using the delegation granted to it by the Company’s General Shareholders’ Meeting held on 28 May 2026 under the 10th resolution[2], which has cancelled and replaced the 24th resolution of the Company’s General Shareholders’ meeting held on 6 November 2024.
Following this additional issue, the outstanding balance of OC0428 amounts to 108,133, i.e. a nominal amount of €1,081,330, held by the same holders.
So far, 291,870 bonds out of the 300,000 bonds issued on 13 April 2026 have been converted. 831,431 new ordinary shares with a nominal unit value of €0.01 have been created as a result of these conversions.
The financing was advised by Vester Finance, which is also the majority subscriber of these 2 bond issues and a Company’s shareholder.
Risk factors
The risk factors affecting the Company are detailed in Chapter 3 of the Registration Document dated 21 October 2024 and in section 2 of the 2025 Half-year report which are available on the Company’s website (www.lighton.ai).
In addition to paragraph 3.3.1. in Chapter 3 of the Registration Document referred to above, general management has been solely performed by Mr. Igor Carron, Chief Executive Officer, since the resignation of Mr. Laurent Daudet from his mandate as Deputy Chief Executive Officer on 26 August 2025.
Furthermore, the uncertain situation in the Middle East since 28 February 2026 could pose a risk for the Company’s ability to carry out its growth strategy in this region.
As the conversion price of the bonds presented above depends on the share price variation, the number of shares that may be issued upon bond conversion cannot be determined precisely on the bond issue date and the bond conversion may dilute existing shareholders significantly.
