This 6-K filing details the definitive terms of a private placement, previously announced on June 18, 2026, which will raise $6 million upfront and potentially an additional $13.4 million from warrant exercises. For a company with a market capitalization of approximately $4.2 million that recently received a Nasdaq delisting notice and issued a "going concern" warning, this capital infusion is crucial for its continued operations.
