This 424B5 filing finalizes the terms and pricing of a capital raise initiated with the S-3 registration on January 7, 2026, and the prospectus dated January 12, 2026. The company is issuing 1,269,509 shares of common stock at $0.86 per share and 67,706 pre-funded warrants at $0.859 each, exercisable at $0.001. The offering is expected to generate approximately $1.0 million in net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes. This offering is highly dilutive, with the newly issued common stock and shares underlying warrants representing approximately 34.5% of the company's pre-offering outstanding shares. The offering price of $0.86 per share is at a slight discount to the last reported sale price of $0.88 on February 11, 2026, and today's price of $0.8976. Notably, the company explicitly stated that proceeds will not be used to restart the Ohio Farm Project, which has been a significant capital drain and was previously paused due to increasing costs. This capital raise is critical for the company's continued operations, following a series of asset sales (Indiana farm, Ohio Equipment Assets, Canadian subsidiary) to manage its financial position. The substantial dilution underscores the company's ongoing need for capital amidst strategic shifts.
