These shares, representing approximately 14.05% of the company's outstanding stock and valued at over $191 million, were previously issued through a PIPE financing and acquisitions. The company will not receive any proceeds from these sales, meaning the funds will go directly to the selling shareholders. This significant increase in the supply of shares available for public trading creates a substantial market overhang, which could exert downward pressure on the stock price as these shares are sold.
