Convertible senior note offerings and related delta offerings were disclosed in early November 2025, alongside Brook Mine FAQ and liquidity updates, while a Class B stock dividend of $0.1780 per share was announced on November 14, 2025. Each of these events saw the stock trade down in the following 24 hours, suggesting a pattern of cautious market reaction to both financing and dividend news.
