The offering is a distressed capital raise to address a going concern and imminent Nasdaq delisting. Monitor the Nasdaq hearing outcome (appeal due Nov 3, 2026) and the company's ability to close the offering and use proceeds to repay debt and fund operations. The warrant structure with aggressive resets and zero-cash exercise option will cause severe dilution if exercised.
