Prospectus Supplement regulatory
"This is Prospectus Supplement No. 9 to our Prospectus, dated July 2, 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.
Current Report on Form 8-K regulatory
"We have attached to this Prospectus Supplement our Current Report on Form 8-K filed"
A current report on Form 8-K is a document that publicly traded companies file to promptly share important news or events that could affect their financial position or stock price, such as major business changes or legal issues. It helps investors stay informed about timely developments, allowing them to make better decisions about buying or selling shares.
emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company Securities registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Act"
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.
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock financial
"Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock | | WHLRD | | Nasdaq Capital Market"
A class of preferred shares that pays fixed dividends which accumulate if they are skipped, and that can be converted into common shares at a predetermined rate. Think of it as a hybrid between a savings account that guarantees missed interest later and a ticket that can be exchanged for ordinary ownership; investors care because it provides steady income protection and priority in payouts while also posing potential dilution to common shareholders if converted.
