FMC sold 30,319,166 shares at $13.30, raising $403,244,907.80 and letting Tessenderlo own about 20%. The deal gives Tessenderlo a board seat, nomination rights and a 36-month lock-up, so the cash benefit and the dilution and governance change largely cancel out.

The AI's read

The $403,244,907.80 equity sale gives FMC immediate cash that can be used for operations or debt. Tessenderlo now owns about 20% and gains a board seat and nomination rights, changing governance. Tessenderlo is locked up for 36 months, which limits immediate selling, while registration rights allow future sales. These positives and negatives largely cancel each other, so I read the story as neutral for FMC.
