The effectiveness of this shelf registration is a clear negative signal for a distressed company with a going-concern warning. Traders should expect a dilutive offering in the near term as the company needs to address its $116.6M working capital deficit. Monitor for a prospectus supplement or takedown announcement — any offering at current levels would be highly dilutive given the company's minimal revenue base.
