This S-3 filing is a procedural step following the $85 million private placement announced on March 9, 2026. While the company has already received the capital from that financing, this registration enables the participating institutional investors to resell their shares and pre-funded warrants from time to time. The registration of approximately $88.7 million worth of shares creates a substantial potential overhang on the stock, representing a significant portion of the company's market capitalization. This could exert downward pressure as investors gain the ability to liquidate their holdings.
