HUB Cyber Security (NASDAQ: HUBC) has filed an update to its registration statement with the SEC on December 31, 2024. The filing includes shares related to potential future issuances from convertible notes conversion and warrant exercises. A significant portion of currently outstanding shares serve as loan securities held by key investors, which will be cancelled upon loan repayment.
