What the filing says
On April 28, 2026, BayFirst raised $80M gross ($40M Series D + $40M Series E mandatorily convertible preferred stock) from 38 selling shareholders. On July 14, 2026, all 8,000 preferred shares automatically converted into 22,856,000 common shares. This S-1/A registers those shares for resale; BayFirst receives no proceeds. Kenneth R. Lehman holds 11.43M shares (42.4% post-conversion); he has board appointment rights and gross-up provisions. The company also redeemed prior preferred stock (Series A/B) for $9.7M on August 10, 2026.
Why this rating
Massive dilution (22.9M new shares on ~27M base) and concentration risk: one investor owns 42% with control provisions. Near-term stock pressure from overhang.
