Its board first authorized 1,000,000 shares, all of which were sold by July 17, 2025, generating $29.3 million in gross proceeds, or $28.1 million net of commissions and estimated expenses. On August 17, 2025, a board pricing committee authorized the sale of an additional 500,000 common shares under the same agreement.
