RA'ANANA, Israel, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NextVision Stabilized Systems Ltd. (TASE: NXSN) ("Nextvision" or the "Company"), a growth technology company that develops, manufactures, and markets stabilized day-and-night imaging solutions for ground and aerial platforms such as micro and mini UAVs and drones, offering one of the world's best weight/size-to-performance ratios, today announced that a group of current shareholders of NextVision, including founders and members of the management team – namely Chen Golan, Michael Grosman, Boris Kipnis, and Nachman Benchaya (the "Selling Shareholders") – announced their intention to sell approximately a total of $200m in existing shares (the "Placing Shares") in NextVision, representing approximately 2% of the Company's outstanding shares, to Global and Israeli institutional investors through a bookbuilding process (the "Placing").
Commented Chen Golan, Founder and Chairman of NextVision, "Over the past 17 years, the founding shareholders of NextVision, who continue to lead the business, have been instrumental in building NextVision into a high-quality market leader, and we remain fully committed to the Company's long-term success and its evolution into a global leader in the drone market. This transaction represents a partial and coordinated monetisation of a portion of the founders' holdings in NextVision, while all preserving a very meaningful ownership position and strong alignment with shareholders. At the same time, we have seen strong interest from international investors in our shares and wanted to use this opportunity to broaden the Company's investor base with additional long-term shareholders. Through this process, we aim to improve trading liquidity, and support the Company's continued growth, while maintaining significant exposure to and confidence in NextVision's long-term prospects."
The offer price and the final number of shares in the Placing will be determined through a bookbuilding process (the "Bookbuilding"). The Bookbuilding for the Placing will open with immediate effect and may close at any time on short notice. A further announcement will be made following the completion of the Bookbuilding and pricing of the Placing.
The Company itself will not receive any proceeds from the Placing.
Jefferies is acting as Sole Global Coordinator and Joint Bookrunner in the Placing. UBS and Needham are acting as Joint Bookrunners, and Leader Capital Markets is acting as Sole Local Manager.
In connection with the Placing, the Selling Shareholders have agreed to undertake a lock-up commitment for 90 calendar days, subject to certain customary exceptions and exemptions.
