This S-3 registration statement enables selling shareholders to resell up to 9,793,479 shares of common stock, including shares underlying pre-funded warrants. This follows the highly dilutive $22.5 million private placement announced on May 4, 2026, which was priced at a deep discount. The shares registered for resale represent over 670% of the company's currently outstanding shares, creating a substantial overhang on the stock. CNS Pharmaceuticals will not receive any proceeds from these resales, only nominal amounts if pre-funded warrants are exercised for cash, which further exacerbates the negative impact on existing shareholders.
