The combination of a dilutive $35M offering (51% of market cap) and warrant repricing from $5.00 to $3.00 signals acute capital needs. Monitor for further dilution from the full exercise of the underwriter option (additional $5.25M) and potential exercise of the repriced warrants. The stock may face continued selling pressure as the market absorbs the new shares.
