Analysis · QUCY · Life Sciences
David Lazar, the controlling shareholder, converted millions of preferred shares into ordinary shares, pushing his beneficial ownership to 94.3%. This consolidation of voting power comes amid Quantum Cyber's radical pivot from life sciences to cyber/drones and a series of dilutive financings.
