This filing details the definitive terms of a reverse merger that will fundamentally transform Ekso Bionics. While a 97% dilution was previously indicated in the company's 10-K, this PREM14C provides the crucial specifics and formal shareholder approval for the transaction. Existing shareholders will see their ownership reduced to approximately 3% of the combined entity, ChronoScale Corporation, which will pivot from exoskeletons to AI cloud services. The transaction addresses the company's previously disclosed 'going concern' warning by bringing in new capital and a new business, but at a severe cost to current equity holders through massive dilution and a loss of control to Applied Digital Corporation, which will hold 96% of the new company and control the board. This marks a complete change in the company's business model and ownership structure.
