Lime, legally Neutron Holdings, Inc., has been a public company since 1 July 2026, when its shares began trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker LIME; the offering priced at $25.00 per share, the midpoint of the $24-$26 range, and closed on 2 July 2026, with the company selling 6,679,791 shares for net proceeds of $141.7 million and selling stockholders placing a further 276,731 shares, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan leading the underwriting. The listing resolved the balance-sheet overhang behind the going-concern warning in the prospectus: the 2020 and 2021 convertible notes converted into common stock, the $115.0 million senior secured term loan was repaid in full shortly afterwards, a new $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility maturing in July 2031 was put in place, and management concluded in its first quarterly report that the substantial doubt had been alleviated. In its first quarter as a public company Lime reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $304.2 million, up 24% year over year, Adjusted EBITDA of $84 million and net income of $295.4 million - the last flattered by a one-time $298.4 million income tax benefit - and guided to full-year 2026 revenue of $1.04 billion to $1.10 billion.
