Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The issuance of over 12 million new shares plus over 37 million warrants expands the share count and could dilute existing holders. In biotech financings, immediate price action often reflects dilution risk, though long-term value depends on clinical progress and subsequent financing terms. Similar past financings have pressured stock short-term but supported long-run development if milestones are met.
