Guidance, Outlook, and Regulatory Status
Under General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, the Company is restricted from selling securities in a public primary offering exceeding one-third of its public float in any 12-month period. This restriction applies because the public float is below $75.0 million. The Company noted that if the public float rises to $75.0 million or more, it will no longer be subject to these restrictions until the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2019, or a subsequent Section 10(a)(3) update.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current public float value to determine if the $75.0 million threshold for unrestricted Form S-3 offerings has been met.
- Confirm the Company's status regarding any securities sales in the preceding 12 months.
- Review the most recent Form 10-K or 10-Q for comprehensive financial performance data not included in this 8-K.
