Shareholders are being asked to approve a $10 million stock offering, a reverse split of up to 1-for-250, and a massive expansion of the equity incentive plan to 50 million shares. The company is in severe financial distress, with revenue down 78% and a net loss up 917% in its last quarter. The reverse split is needed to maintain Nasdaq listing, and the equity plan expansion would create enormous potential dilution. The offering is smaller than the previously proposed $30 million acquisition, but the combined proposals represent a desperate attempt to raise capital and stay listed.
