This 424B3 filing registers a significant block of common stock for resale by institutional investors, including two funds making a total exit. The 3.64 million shares represent approximately 14.85% of the company's current market capitalization. Velo3D will not receive any proceeds from these sales, which were originally acquired in a private placement at a much lower price ($8.25 vs. current $19.27). This substantial potential sale creates a significant overhang on the stock, likely exerting downward pressure, especially given the company's ongoing 'going concern' warning, recent delisting from the NYSE, and disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls. Investors should be aware of the potential for increased selling pressure.
