The shelf effectiveness creates an immediate dilution overhang, particularly with the ATM facility available. Monitor for takedown announcements or ATM sales, which would pressure the stock. The company's going-concern status makes near-term capital raises likely, and the cross-filing context shows multiple resale registrations that could add selling pressure from warrant exercises.
