This 424B5 filing finalizes the terms of a significant public offering under the company's existing S-3 shelf registration, which was originally filed on January 27, 2026. The company is raising approximately $32.6 million in net proceeds (up to $37.5 million if the over-allotment option is exercised) by selling 18.9 million shares at $1.85 each. This capital raise is crucial for Blaize Holdings, which has previously disclosed substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
