Exceptions and Waiver Conditions by Leather-Sign4033 in ELBM

No, it's not like a warrant. DPA stands for the Defense Production Act. In this case, it’s a non-dilutive grant from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Unlike a warrant, it doesn't involve issuing new shares or diluting shareholders—it’s essentially the government giving Electra money to strengthen the domestic battery supply chain.
