Palm shares rose sharply in early morning trading Tuesday, after the smartphone maker increased the size of its secondary offering and netted $83.9m.

Palm resold 23.13 million shares, as part of a follow-on offering it announced the previous day. Although the company had initially anticipated offering only 18.5 million shares held by its investor Elevation Partners, Palm added more stock to the deal, which it priced at $6 per share.

Elevation received $49m from the offering, while Palm netted $83.9 million. Palm plans to use the proceeds for working capital, as well as for bolstering its resources for the launch of its highly anticipated Pre smartphone.
