The Company plans to use the proceeds of the Offering to advance its STREAM™ commercialization strategy, including securing and developing a facility in the Chicago, Illinois area, advancing the STREAM™ technology and related intellectual property, advancing development of a graphene refinery, and for general corporate and working capital purposes. "This financing strengthens our ability to work towards moving STREAM™ toward commercial-scale manufacturing," said Dr. Vikas Berry, CEO of Argo. "Our next phase is focused on advancing the graphene refinery, scaling production of graphene and graphene oxide, and working with industry partners to accelerate commercial applications."
