Analysis · CYDY · Life Sciences
CytoDyn has filed an S-3 to register nearly 795 million shares for resale by selling stockholders — roughly 54% of its current 1.47 billion shares outstanding. The company receives no proceeds from these sales; only if all 384.9 million warrants are exercised for cash would it collect up to $94.6 million. This comes just weeks after the 10-K disclosed a going-concern warning and a $42.7 million net loss, meaning the registration converts a large block of previously restricted shares into freely tradable stock at a time when the company is already under severe financial pressure. The sheer size of the overhang — over half the current share count — is the dominant risk for existing holders.
