This Schedule 13D/A from Imperial Petroleum Inc., the controlling shareholder of C3is Inc., updates its beneficial ownership to 90.2% of common stock. The amendment reflects adjustments to the conversion price of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrant exercise prices following C3is's 1-for-7 reverse stock split, which became effective on April 27, 2026. Crucially, the filing also indicates a dilution in Imperial Petroleum's percentage ownership due to new share issuances by C3is Inc. This suggests the company is actively raising capital, likely through its existing At-The-Market (ATM) program, which will continue to dilute existing shareholders. For a nano-cap company, such significant capital raising and the resulting dilution, even impacting a controlling shareholder, is a critical event for investors to monitor.
