>Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company implemented staff reductions and temporary salary reductions as additional cash-conservation measures. The Company announced and explained these measures to affected employees and offered employees subject to the temporary salary reductions an opportunity to receive equity-based compensation intended to offset a portion of the reduction in cash compensation. The amount, timing and issuance of any such equity awards are subject to the applicable terms of the program, required approvals, applicable securities laws and the Company’s trading policies. These measures are intended to reduce near-term operating cash requirements but may not generate sufficient savings to alleviate the substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Of course the stock offering is just another mechanism for dilution, albeit a small one, and a burden place directly on the backs of shareholders. I wouldn't surprised if they issued shares to employees and dragged their feet registering the shares for sale in the open market. Not much different than the share settlement agreements for suppliers.
