MetaOptics Announces Strategic Placement to Accelerate Growth

proposed placement of 6,685,028 new ordinary shares in the Company at an issue price of S$0.7255 per share, raising approximately S$4.85 million (“the Placement”).

The net proceeds from the Placement are expected to be used for: (i) strengthening the Group’s financial position and expanding its capital base to support anticipated growth in global customer orders; and (ii) providing working capital to meet the Group’s general operational needs.

Additionally, the funds will further bolster working capital, enhance supply chain readiness, and accelerate MetaOptics’ capacity expansion plans for its glass-based metalens solutions, in response to rising demand across consumer electronics, automotive systems, and emerging industrial applications.

The Placement attracted participation from both new investors and existing shareholders who have closely followed the Company’s technological progress and commercial development since its listing on the Singapore Exchange Catalist in September 2025. Their continued and renewed support reflects growing global interest in metalens technology—particularly as enterprises seek optical systems that are scalable, thinner, lighter, and more energy-efficient.

Mr. Cheng Zhangjin, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MetaOptics Ltd, said: “We are encouraged by the confidence shown by both existing and new investors, who recognize the significant opportunity ahead of us. As metalens adoption expands across multiple high-growth markets, MetaOptics is gaining strong commercial momentum. This capital injection will further solidify our ability to serve customers, fulfill delivery commitments, and advance product development.”

MetaOptics continues to gain market recognition for its solutions—from compact mobile imaging modules and ultra-thin optical components to advanced optics for automotive and data connectivity applications. The Company’s rapid-switch 4-inch Direct Laser Writing (DLW) system and scalable 12-inch Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) lithography process enable customers to seamlessly transition from prototyping to high-volume manufacturing with precision and reliability.

MetaOptics remains focused on driving commercialization and delivering high-performance metalens solutions to global clients. The Company will provide timely updates on the progress of the Placement as appropriate.

This press release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s announcement regarding the Placement published on SGXNet on December 1, 2025.
