Astrotech filed a prospectus supplement on August 19, 2026 for an at-the-market offering of up to $50 million of common stock through H.C. Wainwright & Co., replacing the earlier supplement dated June 3, 2026. As of August 19, 2026, the company had sold 258,856 shares for gross proceeds of about $7.9 million under the prior program, and no further sales will be made under it.
