Under the shelf registration process, we may sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more transactions up to a total dollar amount of $150,000,000.
The rules and regulations of the SEC allow us to omit from this prospectus certain information that is included in the registration statement. For further information about us and our securities, you should review the registration statement and the exhibits filed with the registration statement. In addition, the SEC allows us to incorporate by reference into this prospectus information in the reports and other documents that we file with the SEC, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those reports and other documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of this prospectus, and information that we later file with the SEC will automatically update and, where applicable, modify or supersede that information. You may read the registration statement (including its exhibits) and the reports and other documents that we file with the SEC at the SEC's website, www.sec.gov.
This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we offer securities under this shelf registration, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with the additional information described under the heading "Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference." To the extent that any information in the prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the information in this prospectus, the information in the prospectus supplement will modify or supersede this prospectus.
This prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement do not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the registered securities to which they relate, nor do this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.
You should not assume that the information contained in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement is accurate as of any date subsequent to the date set forth on the front of the document or that any information we have incorporated by reference is correct as of any date subsequent to the date of the document incorporated by reference, even though this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement is delivered or securities are sold on a later date. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.
You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus, in the applicable prospectus supplement and in any documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. We have not authorized any salesperson, dealer or other person to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus, in the applicable prospectus supplement or in any documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, and you are not entitled to rely upon any such different information.

RISK FACTORS
Investment in any securities offered pursuant to this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement involves a high degree of risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K that we file with the SEC after the date of this prospectus, and any amendments or updates thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, all of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus, in addition to the risk factor described below. You should also carefully review all other information contained in or incorporated by reference into this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including the information contained below under the heading "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," as updated by our subsequent filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended), and we anticipate that the applicable prospectus supplement will contain forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "may," "could," "predict," or "expect" and similar expressions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in many cases, beyond our control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Such factors include, but are not limited to, general conditions in the aerospace industry, the Company's competitive position, the status of the Company's relationships with its customers, economic conditions in international markets, the cost and availability of raw materials, transportation and utilities, and the various factors set forth under the caption "Factors That May Affect Future Results" in Item 1 and in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.
All written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We caution investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements we make or that are made on our behalf.
In addition, you should refer to the documents we have incorporated by reference for a discussion of other important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all.
We may discuss certain of these risks and uncertainties in greater detail in any prospectus supplement under the heading "Risk Factors." Additional cautionary statements or discussions of risks and uncertainties that could affect our results or the achievement of the expectations described in forward-looking statements may also be contained in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, we intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of securities described in this prospectus for general corporate purposes, which may include, among other things, repayment of debt, capital expenditures, the financing of possible acquisitions or business expansions, increasing our working capital and the financing of ongoing operating expenses and overhead. Until we use the net proceeds for these purposes, we intend to invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities. We have not determined the amounts we plan to spend on any of these areas or the timing of these expenditures. As a result, our management will have broad discretion regarding the application of the net proceeds from the sale of securities described in this prospectus.
THE SECURITIES THAT WE MAY OFFER
We, directly or through underwriters, dealers or agents designated by us from time to time, may offer, issue and sell, together or separately, up to $150,000,000 in the aggregate of:
|
● |
shares of our common stock, par value $0.10 per share; or |
|
● |
warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. |
The common stock and the warrants collectively are referred to in this prospectus as the "securities."
We have summarized below the material terms of the various types of securities that we may offer. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the detailed terms of the securities offered by that supplement. If indicated in the prospectus supplement, the terms of the offered securities may differ from the terms summarized below.
This prospectus may not be used to sell our securities unless it is accompanied by the applicable prospectus supplement.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
The following is a summary of all material characteristics of our capital stock as set forth in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as amended. Copies of these documents are filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
We are presently authorized to issue 60,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share. As of January 9, 2026, there were 19,925,798 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including the election of directors. The holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of directors and, as a consequence, the holders of more than 50% of the shares can elect all of the directors being elected in any election. Under New York law, the approval of the holders of two-thirds of all outstanding stock is required to effect a merger of the Company or the disposition of all or substantially all the Company's assets. A majority vote is sufficient for certain other actions that require the vote or concurrence of shareholders.
The holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors in its discretion from funds legally available therefor, subject to the prior payment of all dividends due on any outstanding preferred stock. Upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive, pro rata, all assets remaining available for distribution to shareholders, subject to any rights of the holders of any outstanding preferred stock. The shares of common stock have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. The common stock currently outstanding is fully paid and non-assessable. Section 630 of the New York Business Corporation Law provides that in the event no shares of the Company are listed on a national securities exchange or regularly quoted in an over-the-counter market by one or more members of a national or an affiliated securities association, the ten largest shareholders of the Company are jointly and severally liable for all debts, wages or salaries due and owing to any of its laborers, servants or employees for services performed by them for the Company.
The transfer agent and registrar of our common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A. The address of our transfer agent and registrar is 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 9th Floor, New York, NY 10104, and its telephone number is (212) 805-7100.
Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "PKE."
DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
We may issue warrants for the purchase of shares of our common stock. We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities, and the warrants may be attached to or separate from any offered securities. If a series of warrants will be issued under a separate warrant agreement to be entered into between us and the investors or a warrant agent, we will so specify in the applicable prospectus supplement. The following summary of the material provisions of the warrants and warrant agreements is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrants and any warrant agreement applicable to a particular series of warrants. The terms of any warrants offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplement, as well as the complete warrants and warrant agreements that contain the terms of the warrants.
The material terms of any issue of warrants will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the issue. Those terms may include:
|
● |
the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of warrants to purchase such shares and the price at which such number of shares may be purchased upon such exercise; |
|
● |
the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related common stock will be separately transferable; |
|
● |
the terms of any rights to redeem or call the warrants; |
|
● |
the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire; |
|
● |
U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to the warrants; and |
|
● |
any additional terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the exchange, exercise and settlement of the warrants. |
Each warrant will entitle its holder to purchase the number of shares of common stock at the exercise price set forth in, or calculable as set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we otherwise specify in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may exercise the warrants at any time up to the specified time on the expiration date that we set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.
A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new warrant certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Until any warrants to purchase common stock are exercised, the holders of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying common stock, including any rights to receive dividends or payments upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up on the common stock, if any.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities covered by this prospectus from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods or through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers. The securities may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:
|
● |
at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
|
● |
at market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
|
● |
at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or |
|
● |
at negotiated prices. |
Each time that we sell securities covered by this prospectus, we will provide a prospectus supplement or supplements that will describe the method of distribution and set forth the terms and conditions of the offering of such securities, including the offering price of the securities and the proceeds to us, if applicable.
Offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities will be identified in a prospectus supplement.
If a dealer is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, the securities will be sold to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.
If an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will purchase securities as a principal, and may then resell the securities at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.
Any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers, will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.
Any common stock issued by us will be traded on the New York Stock Exchange unless we specify otherwise in the prospectus supplement, but any other securities may or may not be publicly traded or listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of securities, certain persons participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the securities. This may include over-allotments or short sales of the securities, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering of more securities than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize or maintain the price of the securities by bidding for or purchasing securities in the open market or by imposing penalty bids, whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if securities sold by them are repurchased in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, underwriters or other persons acting as agents may be authorized to solicit offers by institutions or other suitable purchasers to purchase the securities at the public offering
price set forth in the prospectus supplement, pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in the prospectus supplement. These purchasers may include, among others, commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational and charitable institutions. Delayed delivery contracts will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the securities covered by the delayed delivery contracts will not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States to which the purchaser is subject. The underwriters and agents will not have any responsibility with respect to the validity or performance of these contracts.
We may engage in at-the-market offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. In addition, we may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of stock, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of stock. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be named in the applicable prospectus supplement. In addition, we may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
The specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for which they receive compensation.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by DLA Piper LLP (US), New York, NY. Additional legal matters may be passed upon for us or any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel that we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Common Stock
We have entered into a sales agreement, or the Sales Agreement, with Needham & Company, LLC, or Needham, and Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, or Citizens. We refer to Needham and Citizens, collectively, as the "Sales Agents," and each, as a "Sales Agent." The Sales Agreement relates to shares of our common stock, par value $0.10 per share, offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, pursuant to this prospectus supplement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 from time to time through the Sales Agents. Sales of the shares of common stock, if any, may be made on The New York Stock Exchange at market prices and such other sales as agreed upon by us and the Sales Agents, as the case may be.
Our common stock is listed on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "PKE". On January 9, 2026, the closing price of our common stock, as reported on The New York Stock Exchange, was $23.28 per share.
Sales of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement will be made in sales deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. The Sales Agents are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of securities, but will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us, consistent with their normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between the Sales Agents and us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.
The Sales Agents will be entitled to compensation at a commission rate of up to 3.0% of the gross sales price of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement. See "Plan of Distribution" beginning on page S-9 for additional information regarding the compensation to be paid to the Sales Agents. In connection with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, the Sales Agents may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation of the Sales Agents may deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agents with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. See "Plan of Distribution" beginning on page S-9 regarding the compensation to be paid to the Sales Agents.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should review carefully the risks and uncertainties referenced under the heading "Risk Factors" on page S-5 of this prospectus supplement and in the documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Neither we nor the Sales Agents have authorized anyone to give you any other information, and we take no responsibility for any other information that others may give you. If you are in a jurisdiction where offers to sell, or solicitations of offers to purchase, the securities offered by this documentation are unlawful, or if you are a person to whom it is unlawful to direct these types of activities, then the offer presented in this document does not extend to you.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement is part of a registration statement that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, using a "shelf" registration process, pursuant to which we may offer up to $150,000,000 of our securities. Under the shelf registration process, we may offer shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50,000,000 from time to time under this prospectus supplement at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions at the time of the offering. The $50,000,000 of shares of our common stock that may be sold under this prospectus supplement are included in the $150,000,000 of our securities that may be sold under the registration statement.
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of this common stock offering and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein. The second part, the accompanying prospectus, provides more general information. Generally, when we refer to this prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. To the extent the information contained in this prospectus supplement differs or varies from the information contained in any document incorporated by reference herein that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, before the date of this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information set forth in this prospectus supplement. If any statement in one of these documents is inconsistent with a statement in another document having a later date (for example, a subsequently filed document deemed incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement), the statement in the document having the later date modifies or supersedes the earlier statement. Any statement so modified or superseded will not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this prospectus supplement.
You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement. We have not, and the Sales Agents have not, authorized anyone to provide you with information that is in addition to or different from that contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or contained in any permitted free writing prospectus supplements we have authorized for use in connection with this offering. We and the Sales Agents take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of, any other information that others may provide.
The information contained in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein is accurate only as of their respective dates, regardless of the time of delivery of any such document or the time of any sale of our common stock. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. It is important for you to read and consider all information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement in making your investment decision. You should read this prospectus supplement, as well as the documents incorporated by reference herein, the additional information described under the sections titled "Where You Can Find More Information" and "Incorporation by Reference" in this prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus supplement that we have authorized for use in connection with this offering, before investing in our common stock.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information about us and this offering and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in our securities. Before investing in our common stock, you should carefully read the information contained and incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, including the sections titled "Risk Factors" and the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Our Company
We develop and manufacture solution and hot-melt advanced composite materials used to produce composite structures for the global aerospace markets. Our advanced composite materials include film adhesives and lightning strike protection materials. We offer an array of composite materials specifically designed for hand lay-up or automated fiber placement, or AFP, manufacturing applications. Our advanced composite materials are used to produce primary and secondary structures for jet engines, large and regional transport aircraft, military aircraft, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, or UAVs commonly referred to as "drones", business jets, general aviation aircraft and rotary wing aircraft. We also offer specialty ablative materials for rocket motors and nozzles and specially designed materials for radome applications. We support both commercial aerospace OEMs and defense contractors, supplying advanced composite materials for production aircraft and missile systems, development programs and sustainment requirements. As a complement to our advanced composite materials offering, we also design and fabricate composite parts, structures and assemblies and low volume tooling for the aerospace industry. Target markets for our composite parts and structures are, among others, prototype and development aircraft, special mission aircraft, spares for legacy military and civilian aircraft and exotic spacecraft.
For more information about our business, please see our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented and updated by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that we have filed or will file with the SEC, and in other documents which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.
Corporate Information
We were incorporated in March 1954 under the laws of the State of New York. Our principal executive offices are located at 1400 Old Country Road, Westbury, NY 11590 and our telephone number is (631) 465-3600. Our website address is www.parkaerospace.com. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and should not be considered to be a part of this prospectus supplement or the registration statement of which it forms a part.
Implications of Being a Smaller Reporting Company
As of the end of our fiscal year ended March 2, 2025, we qualified as a "non-accelerated filer" as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act and as a "smaller reporting company." As a smaller reporting company, we are allowed reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to large accelerated filers. These reduced requirements include:
|
• |
two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" disclosure; |
|
|
• |
reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements; |
|
|
• |
exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting; and |
|
|
• |
delayed adoption of certain accounting pronouncements. |
We may take advantage of these and other scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies until the fiscal year following the determination that we no longer qualify as a "smaller reporting company." A company will qualify as a "smaller reporting company," if, as of the last day of the company's second fiscal quarter, it has (1) a public float of less than $250 million or (2) less than $100 million in annual revenues and either (i) no public float or (ii) public float of less than $700 million.

All information in this prospectus supplement related to the number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding immediately after this offering is based on 19,925,798 shares of our common stock outstanding as of January 9, 2026. The number of shares outstanding as of January 9, 2026 as used throughout this prospectus supplement, unless otherwise indicated, excludes:
|

|
• |
Approximately 754,313 shares of common stock available for future issuance as of January 9, 2026 under our 2018 Plan. |
Unless otherwise stated, all information contained in this prospectus supplement assumes no exercise of stock options after January 9, 2026 and reflects an assumed public offering minimum price of $23.28, which was the last reported sale price of our common stock on The New York Stock Exchange on January 9, 2026.
RISK FACTORS
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described below and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments thereto reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC, each of which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and all of the other information in this prospectus supplement, including our financial statements and related notes incorporated by reference herein. If any of these risks is realized, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you could lose part or all of your investment. Additional risks and uncertainties that are not yet identified or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also materially harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and could result in a complete loss of your investment.
Risks Related to This Offering
We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may invest or spend the proceeds in ways with which you do not agree and in ways that may not yield a return on your investment.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, including for any of the purposes described in the section titled "Use of Proceeds," as well as our existing cash, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding such application. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used effectively. Our management might not apply the net proceeds or our existing cash in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering or our existing cash in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected results, which could cause our stock price to decline. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in short-term U.S. Treasury securities with insignificant rates of return. These investments may not yield a favorable return to our stockholders.
If you purchase our common stock in this offering, you may incur immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares.
The shares sold in this offering will be sold from time to time at various prices. The price per share of our common stock sold in this offering may, at the time of sale, exceed the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you may pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share after this offering. To the extent shares are issued under outstanding options at exercise prices lower than the price of our common stock in this offering, you will incur further dilution.
In addition, we have a significant number of outstanding stock options. The exercise of any of these outstanding options would result in further dilution to holders of our common stock. As a result of the dilution to investors purchasing shares in this offering, investors may receive significantly less than the purchase price paid in this offering, if anything, in the event of our liquidation. Further, because we expect we will need to raise additional capital to fund our future activities, we may in the future sell substantial amounts of common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock.
Future issuances of common stock or common stock-related securities, together with the exercise of outstanding stock options, if any, may result in further dilution.
Future sales and issuances of our common stock or rights to purchase common stock and issuances of common stock upon the exercise of any outstanding warrants we may have in the future would result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders and could cause our stock price to fall.
Additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we issue additional equity securities to raise capital or pursuant to our equity incentive plans or other contractual obligations, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner we determine from time to time. If we sell or issue common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. These sales may also result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights superior to our existing stockholders.
As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we do not have any outstanding warrants. In the future, if we do have any outstanding warrants, and some or all of these warrants are exercised, our stockholders could experience substantial dilution and may cause the market price of our stock to decline.
Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our outstanding common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares of common stock intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock. Persons who were our stockholders prior to our initial public offering continue to hold a substantial number of shares of our common stock that many of them are now able to sell in the public market. Significant portions of these shares are held by a relatively small number of stockholders. Sales by our stockholders of a substantial number of shares, or the expectation that such sales may occur, could significantly reduce the market price of our common stock.
The actual number of shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.
Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver a transaction proposal to any Sales Agent at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by any such Sales Agent after delivering a transaction proposal will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period and limits we set with such Sales Agent. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued.
The common stock offered hereby will be sold in "at the market offerings,"and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.
Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold, and there is no minimum or maximum sales price. Investors may experience a decline in the value of their shares as a result of share sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference contain forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of Section 21E of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended). These statements relate to future events or to our future financial performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "believe," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "may," "could," "predict," or "expect" and similar expressions. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in many cases, beyond our control. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual events or results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors. Except as required by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
Such factors include, but are not limited to, general conditions in the aerospace industry, the Company's competitive position, the status of the Company's relationships with its customers, economic conditions in international markets, the cost and availability of raw materials, transportation and utilities, and the various factors set forth under the caption "Factors That May Affect Future Results" in Item 1 and in Item 1A "Risk Factors" of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC which are incorporated by reference herein.
All written and verbal forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We caution investors not to rely too heavily on the forward-looking statements we make or that are made on our behalf.
In addition, you should refer to the documents we have incorporated by reference for a discussion of other important factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. As a result of these factors, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate. Furthermore, if our forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that we will achieve our objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all.
Additional cautionary statements or discussions of risks and uncertainties that could affect our results or the achievement of the expectations described in forward-looking statements may also be contained in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate sales proceeds of up to $50,000,000 from time to time. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. There can be no assurance that we will sell any shares under or fully utilize our sales agreement with Needham and Citizens as a source of financing.
We currently intend to use potential proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash and cash equivalents, for general corporate purposes and growth initiatives. The expected use of the net proceeds from this offering, if any, represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the factors described under "Risk Factors" in this prospectus supplement and in the documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as the amount of cash used in our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use the net proceeds for other purposes, and we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds. Pending the uses described above, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have entered into a Sales Agreement with Needham and Citizens under which we may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time through Needham and Citizens acting as sales agents. Pursuant to this prospectus supplement, we may issue and sell up to $50,000,000 of shares of our common stock. Sales of our common stock, if any, will be made at market prices by any method that is deemed to be an "at the market offering" as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act. Sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement may be made through an affiliate of Needham or Citizens.
Needham and Citizens will offer our common stock subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement on a daily basis or as otherwise agreed upon by us and the Sales Agents. We will designate the maximum amount of common stock to be sold through the Sales Agents on a daily basis or otherwise determine such maximum amount together with the Sales Agents. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Needham and Citizens will use their commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of common stock requested to be sold by us. We may instruct Needham and Citizens not to sell common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any such instruction. Needham, Citizens, or we may suspend the offering of our common stock being made through the Sales Agents under the Sales Agreement upon proper notice to the other party. The Sales Agents and we each have the right, by giving written notice as specified in the Sales Agreement, to terminate the Sales Agreement in each party's sole discretion at any time.
The aggregate compensation payable to the Sales Agents will be 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares sold through it pursuant to the Sales Agreement. We have also agreed to reimburse the Sales Agents for up to $75,000 of outside legal expenses actually incurred by the Sales Agents in connection with this offering, some of which were incurred in connection with the entry into the Sales Agreement. In accordance with Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. Rule 5110, these fees and reimbursed expenses are deemed sales compensation in connection with this offering. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, excluding commissions payable to the Sales Agents under the Sales Agreement, will be approximately $400,000.
The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory, or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will equal our net proceeds for the sale of such common stock.
Each of Needham and Citizens will respectively provide written confirmation to us following the close of trading on The New York Stock Exchange on each day in which common stock is sold through it as Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares of common stock sold through it as Sales Agent on that day, the volume weighted average price of the shares sold, the percentage of the daily trading volume and the net proceeds to us.
We will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through Needham and Citizens under the Sales Agreement and the net proceeds to us in connection with the sales of common stock.
Settlement for sales of common stock will occur, unless the parties agree otherwise, on the first business day that is also a trading day following the date on which any sales were made in return for payment of the net proceeds to us.

Item 15. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
The New York Business Corporation Law ("BCL"), Article 7, Sections 721-726 provide for the indemnification and advancement of expenses to officers and directors. Section 721 provides that indemnification and advancement pursuant to the BCL are not exclusive of any other rights an officer or director may be entitled to, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that the director personally gained a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled.
Section 722 of the BCL provides that a corporation may indemnify an officer or director, in the case of third party actions, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses and, in the case of derivative actions, against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, provided that the director or officer acted in good faith, for a purpose which he or she reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation and, in the case of criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. In addition, statutory indemnification may not be provided in derivative actions (i) which are settled or otherwise disposed of or (ii) in which the director or officer is adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent a court determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.
Section 723 of the BCL provides that statutory indemnification is mandatory where the director or officer has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding. Section 723 also provides that expenses of defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding may be advanced by the corporation upon receipt of an undertaking to repay them if and to the extent the recipient is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification. Section 725 provides for repayment of such expenses when the recipient is ultimately found not to be entitled to indemnification. Section 726 provides that a corporation may obtain indemnification insurance indemnifying itself and its directors and officers.
Section 402(b) of the BCL provides that a corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation a provision limiting or eliminating, with certain exceptions, the personal liability of directors to a corporation or its shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in such capacity.
Article XI of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, dated March 28, 1989, as amended, provides that the Company shall indemnify any person made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, or of any firm, corporation, or association which he or she served an such at the request of the Company, against the reasonable expenses (including attorney's fees and, to the extent permitted by law, any amount paid in a court approved settlement) actually and necessarily incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such officer, director or employee is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties.
Article X, Section 2 of the Company's By-Laws provides that the Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party, or threatened to be made a party, to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, lawsuit or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was, or has agreed to become, a director or officer of the Company, unless expressly prohibited by Section 721 of the BCL or unless the action was initiated by the officer or director without the authorization of the Company's Board of Directors. Indemnification will extend to all amounts actually paid by or on behalf of the indemnitee on account of judgments, fines and penalties incurred in connection with an action or in settlement of an action and all expenses actually and reasonably incurred by or on behalf of the indemnitee in connection with an action, whether or not the indemnitee is successful on the merits. Expenses may be advanced by the Company as long as the indemnitee undertakes to repay such advances to the extent a court determines that the indemnitee was not entitled to such indemnification. Article X, Section 3 of the Company's By-Laws establishes procedures to obtain such indemnification whereby indemnification or advancement of expenses generally must occur within 45 days after the request for such indemnification is made by the indemnitee.
The above is a general summary of certain provisions of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and the BCL and is subject in all respects to the specific and detailed provisions of Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws and the BCL.
As permitted by the By-Laws of the Company, the Company has purchased a policy of directors' and officers' insurance that insures both the Company and its officers and directors against expenses and liabilities of the type normally insured against under such policies, including the expenses of the indemnification described above.

Item 17. |
Undertakings. |
|
a. |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes: |
|
(1) |
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
|
(i) |
To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
|
(ii) |
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this registration statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement; and |
|
(iii) |
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in this registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this registration statement. |
|
(2) |
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
(3) |
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
|
(4) |
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser: |
|
(i) |
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in this registration statement; and |
|
(ii) |
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in this registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of this registration statement relating to the securities in this registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of this registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this registration statement or prospectus that is a part of this registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in this registration statement or prospectus that was a part of this registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. |
|
(5) |
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
|
(i) |
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
|
(ii) |
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
|
(iii) |
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
|
(iv) |
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
|
b. |
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
|
c. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
