$0.99 per share, valued at approximately $2.5 million. This purchase was part
of an underwritten public offering by the company. The stock currently trades

owns 24,617,320 shares of common stock.

trades at $3.63, down 37.6% year-to-date, though it remains well above its
52-week low of $3.06. According to InvestingPro
analysis, the stock appears overvalued relative to its Fair Value and carries a
notably high beta of 3.59, reflecting significant price volatility. This
