This 424B3 filing registers 8.49 million shares for resale by institutional investors who acquired them in a private placement that closed in October 2025. While the company previously received substantial proceeds of approximately $378.6 million from this private placement, this filing means these shares are now eligible to be sold on the open market. This represents a significant potential supply of shares, equivalent to 16.3% of the company's outstanding common stock, which could create an overhang on the stock price. The original purchase price of $47.11 per share is considerably higher than the current market price of $22.20, suggesting that immediate large-scale selling might be limited as investors would realize a significant loss. However, the registration provides these institutional investors with the flexibility to sell if the stock price recovers or for liquidity purposes, maintaining a potential downward pressure.
