INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

Closing of Initial Public Offering

On August 3, 2023, Pixie Dust Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) closed its initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 1,666,667 American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”, and each, an “ADS”), each ADS representing one common share, no par value, of the Company, at a price to the public of $9.00 per ADS, before underwriting discounts and commissions. Net proceeds to the Company, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, were approximately $11.2 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for the development and commercialization of its technologies and related products, and for other working capital and general corporate purposes.

The ADSs were offered, issued and sold to the public pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form F-1, as amended (File No. 333-272476), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 31, 2023, and the prospectus forming a part thereof. A final prospectus dated July 31, 2023, describing the terms of the Offering was filed with the SEC on August 2, 2023 and is available on the SEC’s website located at http://www.sec.gov.

Entry into Material Definitive Agreement

On August 3, 2023, the Company entered into a Deposit Agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”), with The Bank of New York Mellon, as depositary (the “Depositary”), and the holders and beneficial owners of the ADSs issued thereunder, with respect to the terms and provisions governing such ADSs. Under the terms of the Deposit Agreement, each ADS represents the right to receive, and to exercise the beneficial ownership interests in, one common share that is on deposit with the Depositary and/or its custodian. ADSs also represent the right to receive, and to exercise the beneficial interests in, any other property received by the Depositary or the custodian on behalf of the owner of the ADSs, but that have not been distributed to the owners of ADSs because of legal restrictions or practical considerations. The Company and the Depositary may agree to change the ADS-to-share ratio by amending the Deposit Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Deposit Agreement does not purport to be completed and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Deposit Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Issuance of Press Release

On August 3, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of the Offering. The press release was also translated into Japanese and issued in Japan.

A copy of the press release is being furnished in this report on Form 6-K as Exhibit 99.1, and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
