  The filing incorporates the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, which states 'substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern,' highlighting severe financial challenges and reliance on future financing.

• Registration of 18.75 Million Shares

This prospectus supplement updates the market on Blaize Holdings' financial distress, incorporating the concurrently filed 10-K which explicitly states substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The registration of 18.75 million shares of common stock for potential sale represents a highly dilutive capital raise, equivalent to over 15% of current outstanding shares. This move is likely a critical step to secure necessary funding to address the severe liquidity issues and extend the company's operational runway, but it comes at a significant cost to existing shareholders through dilution.
