This S-3 registration statement enables selling stockholders to resell up to 7.37 million shares of common stock, valued at approximately $36.06 million based on recent market prices. These shares are issuable upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock, which was acquired in a $25.0 million private placement that closed on February 18, 2026. While the private placement provided capital to the company, this S-3 is for the resale of those shares by the investors, meaning Opus Genetics will not receive any proceeds from these sales. The registration of a significant block of shares, representing over 10% of outstanding common stock, creates a potential overhang on the stock price. The conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock into common stock is pending shareholder approval, as previously disclosed in a PRE 14A filing on March 12, 2026.
