The ATM facility opens a path to continuous diluted preferred issuance. Monitor the company's quarterly filings for actual share sales under the ATM, which will be reported in future 10-Qs and prospectus supplements. The full $8.7M authorized amount represents substantial potential dilution on the current ~2.37M preferred shares outstanding. Preferred holders should watch for accelerated selling in periods of elevated share price.
