Analysis
Dustin Shindo, a previously significant shareholder, has reduced his beneficial ownership in New Horizon Aircraft Ltd. to 4.1%, falling below the 5% reporting threshold. This reduction is a result of both his recent sales of approximately $272,000 worth of shares and warrants, and the substantial dilutive offerings recently completed by the company.
