This 424B5 filing finalizes the terms and pricing of the common stock offering previously announced on March 10, 2026. The offering of 97.5 million shares at $1.90 per share, a substantial 21.16% discount to the last reported NYSE price of $2.41 on March 10, will generate gross proceeds of $185.25 million. This represents significant dilution of over 20% for existing shareholders. While the use of proceeds to repay $100 million of outstanding borrowings and other debt is positive for balance sheet management, the deep discount suggests the company needed to offer very favorable terms to secure the capital. The participation of certain directors and officers, purchasing approximately 3.7 million shares, provides a modest signal of internal confidence despite the dilutive nature and pricing of the offering. This capital raise follows a recent significant net loss reported in the 2025 10-K and ongoing financing initiatives, highlighting the company's continued efforts to strengthen its financial position.
