SkyAI plans a $201M tender offer at $3.00 per share to repurchase up to 95% of its common stock and warrants, starting around Oct 15, 2026. The offer is contingent on SOL price staying above $100 and at least 50% of shares being tendered per class. The board rejected a previous proposal from Forward Industries as undervaluing the company.
