Filing Explained

The completed offering involved selling-stockholder shares, not a disclosed CPI issuance, so no dilution mechanism is reported.

At the disclosed September 14, 2026 closing, the transaction was a completed secondary sale by the selling stockholders: CPI sold no securities, received no proceeds, and disclosed no CPI share issuance.

Because dilution requires issuing additional shares, this filing does not disclose that dilution mechanism for existing common holders.

The offering used CPI’s Form S-3 shelf registration and a related September 10, 2026 prospectus supplement; the shelf provided future registration capacity, while the supplement related to this specific offering.

Underwriting Agreement financial
"entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Company"
An underwriting agreement is a contract where a company selling new stocks or bonds hires financial firms to buy those securities and resell them to investors. It matters because the agreement sets the offering price, number of securities, fees and which party bears the risk if sales fall short—think of it as a promise that the sale will happen and a roadmap investors can use to understand how the new securities reach the market.
shelf registration statement regulatory
"The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3"
A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.
prospectus supplement regulatory
"and a related prospectus supplement dated September 10, 2026"
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.
Selling Stockholders financial
"Tricor Pacific Capital Partners (Fund IV) US, Limited Partnership (the “Selling Stockholders”)"
Selling stockholders are existing owners of a company's shares who are offering some or all of their holdings for sale, often as part of a public offering or secondary transaction. For investors this matters because such sales increase the number of shares available to buy, can signal how confident current owners are about future prospects, and may put short-term pressure on the stock price similar to more tickets being released for a popular event.
indemnification obligations regulatory
"contains customary representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations of the Company"
A company's indemnification obligations are promises it has made to cover certain losses, legal costs, or damages that another party might suffer because of the company’s actions or events tied to a deal. Think of it like a guarantee or built-in insurance: if something goes wrong, the company must step in and pay. For investors this matters because these potential payouts create contingent liabilities that can reduce cash, raise legal exposure, and affect a company’s value and risk profile.
Offering Type secondary
Use of Proceeds The Company did not sell any securities in the Offering and will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares offered by the Selling Stockholders.
