Analysis · JAGX · Life Sciences
An S-1 filed by Jaguar Health registers the resale of up to 41 million shares under its $40 million equity line with C/M Capital. If fully drawn and sold, these shares would represent over 89% of the current outstanding, creating a massively dilutive overhang. The filing reveals that the investor always buys at a discount — VWAP purchases are priced at 95% of the lowest recent price — and the company must issue $800,000 in Commitment Shares just to activate the facility. Against a backdrop of recent Nasdaq compliance struggles and a $5M market cap, this registration makes the dilution threat concrete and tradable, giving the investor a clear path to sell into any strength.
