This 424B4 filing finalizes the terms and pricing of the offering previously disclosed in the S-1/A on January 30, 2026, and the preliminary S-1 on January 23, 2026. The offering of 7.14 million common shares, coupled with 14.28 million accompanying warrants (two per share), represents a substantial potential dilution for current shareholders. The offering price of $0.70 per unit is a discount to the stock's closing price of $0.97 on February 5, 2026, and slightly below today's price of $0.72. The company's stated use of proceeds, particularly the $3.3 million allocated to repay notes with default premiums, underscores its precarious financial position, further evidenced by the "going concern" qualification in its 2024 audit. This capital raise is critical for the company's short-term liquidity and operations, but comes at a high cost to equity holders.
