Laser Photonics is registering 11.8 million shares for resale by selling stockholders, stemming from the April 26 warrant inducement deal. This adds a massive overhang to a stock already battered by a 60% revenue drop, going concern warnings, and a Nasdaq delisting notice. The $0.975 exercise price is below the current $1.31 stock price, meaning these warrants are in the money and likely to be exercised, flooding the market with shares. With only $51M market cap, this registration represents a potential 25% increase in outstanding shares, further diluting existing holders and signaling continued reliance on toxic financing to stay afloat.
