Nukkleus Inc. Secures $250 Million Growth Facility to Drive Next-Gen Aerospace and Defense Innovation

Nukkleus Inc. (Nasdaq: NUKK), a strategic acquirer and developer of high-growth businesses in the Aerospace and Defense (A&D) sector, has announced a definitive agreement for a $250 million Equity Line with Esousa Holding Group LLC, a prominent institutional investor and existing shareholder.

This agreement provides Nukkleus with access to substantial long-term capital, enabling the company to accelerate its strategic growth initiatives, particularly its robust mergers and acquisitions (M&A) pipeline. The funding will support the expansion of Nukkleus’ portfolio of next-generation multi-domain defense solutions, including AI-based navigation systems, integrated national security platforms, and cutting-edge drone technologies.

“Nukkleus is dedicated to building a leading platform at the intersection of advanced aerospace technologies and next-generation defense solutions,” said Menny Shalom, CEO of Nukkleus Inc. “This $250 million facility, following our recent $10 million capital raise, equips us with the flexible resources needed to seize accretive opportunities that enhance our capabilities and global footprint.”

Under the terms of the agreement, Nukkleus has the right—but not the obligation—to sell up to $250 million in common stock over a 36-month period. This committed capital facility allows the company to draw funds at its discretion by issuing shares to the investor, generally limited to 20% of the company’s trading volume during the period, subject to certain conditions and volume limitations. However, access to these funds is contingent upon the filing and SEC approval of a registration statement covering the resale of the underlying shares.

This financial flexibility positions Nukkleus to act swiftly on strategic acquisitions and investments, further solidifying its role as an emerging leader in the A&D sector. Over recent months, the company has announced several acquisitions aimed at enhancing its presence in high-value segments of the industry.

Nukkleus’ growth strategy focuses on acquiring and scaling mission-critical suppliers across the defense, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing sectors. By targeting Tier 2 and Tier 3 companies that form the backbone of national security infrastructure in the U.S., Israel, and Europe, Nukkleus aims to modernize and expand strategic suppliers. The company’s proprietary capital model integrates operational expertise, financial discipline, and long-term vision to drive dual-use innovation and build resilient supply chains.

“This agreement underscores our commitment to advancing the next generation of aerospace and defense technologies,” added Shalom. “With this facility, we are well-positioned to continue executing our strategy with confidence and agility.”

Details of the agreement are available in the company’s 8-K filing submitted earlier today. It is important to note that this press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy securities. Any offering under the Equity Line will be conducted pursuant to a registration statement.
