This S-1 registers the resale of 4,686,371 shares issued in the May 2026 private placement, making the overhang tradable for the first time. The shares represent roughly 40% of the current outstanding, and the registration allows the two selling stockholders—who together hold over 37% of the company—to sell into the market. While the company receives no proceeds, the potential for large sales creates downward pressure on the stock, especially given the company's weak financial position and recent dilutive financing.
