The aggressive preferred-to-common exchange program continues, with 2,649,319 common shares issued between October 6-9, 2026, to retire 88,894 Series B and 17,233 Series D preferred shares. No cash changed hands — this is pure dilution to eliminate preferred obligations. Since July, millions of common shares have been issued in similar exchanges, and common shares outstanding have surged over 15x since year-end per the last 10-Q. At today's $0.4667 price, the newly issued shares represent roughly $1.24M in market value, but the real story is the relentless share-count expansion that continues to pressure existing holders.
