The offering adds ~$85.7M to PDFS's cash balance but dilutes existing holders by ~5%. The selling stockholder's large secondary component (~63% of shares sold) signals potential reduced strategic commitment from Advantest. Monitor for any change in the Advantest relationship and for how the company deploys the new capital.
