Registration statement covers warrant shares

Westport Fuel Systems filed a Form F-1 registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 21, 2026. The preliminary prospectus covers the resale from time to time of up to 4,854,369 common shares that may be issued upon exercise of warrants.

The warrants were issued under a securities purchase agreement dated June 22, 2026. Westport states that the related issuance and sale of common shares, pre-funded warrants and private-placement warrants closed on June 23, 2026.

The prospectus is preliminary, and the filing states that the selling shareholder cannot sell the securities until the registration statement becomes effective. Registration does not require the shareholder to sell the shares.

Proceeds from resale go to selling shareholder

Westport states that net proceeds from sales of the registered common shares will go to the selling shareholder, not the company. The prospectus says the shareholder may sell shares through public or private transactions, including at market-based or privately negotiated prices.

Westport could receive funds if the warrants are exercised for cash. The company says that full cash exercise would result in approximately $10 million of gross proceeds, which it intends to use for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The company also notes that the warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis in certain circumstances and that holders are not obligated to exercise them. As a result, the filing does not establish whether or when Westport will receive exercise proceeds.

Company discloses going-concern uncertainty

The filing says management continues to identify a material uncertainty that raises substantial doubt about Westport’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Based on projected capital expenditures, debt-servicing obligations and operating requirements under its current business plan, the company anticipates that cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund operations through the following 12 months from its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Westport says it may need additional funding to continue as a going concern.
