ATM capacity $4,000,000 of common stock Offer and sale amount under prospectus supplement and Sales Agreement
At The Market Offering Agreement financial
"entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc."
An at-the-market offering agreement is a contract that lets a company sell newly issued shares directly into the open market through a broker, at whatever price the stock is trading at that moment. For investors this matters because it can increase the number of shares available (which may dilute existing ownership) while providing a flexible, often faster way for the company to raise cash without fixing a price, similar to a vendor selling small batches at current market stalls rather than setting a single fixed price.
prospectus supplement regulatory
"filed a prospectus supplement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the offer and sale of up to $4,000,000 of shares"
A prospectus supplement is an additional document provided alongside a company's main offering details, offering updated or extra information about a specific financial product being sold. It helps investors understand the latest terms, risks, and details of the investment, similar to how an update or revision clarifies or expands on original instructions, ensuring they have current and complete information before making a decision.
Rule 415(a)(4) regulatory
"deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933"
Rule 415(a)(4) is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rule that lets a company add more securities to an already effective shelf registration, so those additional shares or bonds can be sold later without filing a completely new registration. For investors it matters because it gives the issuer the flexibility to raise cash quickly—like having an open credit line—while creating the possibility of dilution or changes in supply that can affect share price.
emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
