"additional capital raised in a concurrent, common stock PIPE with certain"
A PIPE (private investment in public equity) is a deal in which institutional or accredited investors buy shares or convertible securities directly from a publicly traded company, usually at a discount to the market price. Companies use PIPEs to raise money faster than through a traditional public offering; for existing shareholders they matter because the newly issued shares add to the share count and can dilute ownership.
