Fill Me In. Dilution?

My biology expertise offers no understanding of the Lincoln Park (?) AVXL shares sale. Help me understand this one point.

Will these share sales result in dilution, where the value of my few AVXLs are reduced slightly in value because more, greater then the listed 42.17 million outstanding shares, are being created and sold?

If such a sale happens, if it results in dilution, I'd wish it weren't required. Still, if the dilution is 5 million, with a resulting total of 47.17 million outstanding shares, we still have a relatively small number among which future dividends would be divided.

A lot of start-ups keep selling more and more shares, into the hundreds of millions outstanding (which is not an outstanding position to be in).

Hope we can keep things where they are right now; or, at least <50 million outstanding shares.

Thoughts?
