This DEFA14A filing outlines proposals for the upcoming annual meeting, most notably a request to increase the shares available under the 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan by 3,000,000 shares. This substantial potential dilution is particularly significant given the company's recent "going concern" warning disclosed in its last 10-K. While equity plans are standard for employee retention, this increase in potential future dilution adds to the financial overhang for a company already facing questions about its long-term viability.
