NEW YORK and AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Innovatum Srl ("Terra Innovatum," or the "Company"), a developer of micro-modular nuclear reactors, and GSR III Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:GSRT), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company, today announced additional private investment in public equity ("PIPE") capital in connection with their previously announced business combination. The total equity financing committed prior to contribution from the GSRT trust account is $42.5 million, including approximately $37 million of PIPE capital and approximately $5.5 million from a funded bridge facility.
"Terra Innovatum is bringing a differentiated nuclear solution that can deliver low-cost, zero-carbon and reliable energy to the world; a much-needed innovation as the demand for clean energy continues to rapidly increase," said Alessandro Petruzzi, CEO of Terra Innovatum. "We have developed a simple path to market, which circumvents the need for government subsidies or extensive research, by designing a reactor that is small, runs on widely available components and fuel, and has a clear licensing plan. We are encouraged by the recent investor support as the investment community continues to appreciate our value proposition."
Giordano Morichi, Partner, Chief Business Development Officer & Investor Relations at Terra Innovatum, added, "The $42.5 million in equity financing, along with net proceeds from the trust account after redemptions, will accelerate the deployment of our FOAK reactor and strengthen our position ahead of full-scale production. Backed by a diverse group of investors who share our vision, we are fast-tracking the commercialization of the SOLO™ micro-modular reactor and remain firmly on track for market deployment by 2028."
