Addressing Going Concern
Net proceeds from the offering, estimated at $6.16 million, are intended for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, R&D, sales & marketing, and debt repayment, which management believes will alleviate substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
-
Significant Potential Dilution

Analysis
HealthLynked Corp. is pursuing a critical $7 million public offering of common stock, priced at a substantial premium to its current market price, to address its severe liquidity issues and facilitate a Nasdaq listing.
