This filing announces a substantial increase to the company's At-The-Market (ATM) offering program, allowing it to raise an additional $15 million. This represents a highly dilutive capital raise relative to the company's market capitalization. While it provides much-needed capital for general corporate purposes, especially given the company's reiterated "going concern" warning, it will likely put downward pressure on the stock price due to the potential for substantial share issuance. The company has already raised over $12.6 million through its ATM program since May 2024, indicating a continuous reliance on this dilutive financing method.
