Here's a bit of wonkish speculation for those that are board:

We know that one good reason to file a shelf registration, when there is no immediate need, is for takeover protection. Maybe SGLB is concerned that GE might make an attempt when GE pulls the trigger on the rest of the ramp up.

We've discussed GE taking over SGLB before. We've also discussed the potential purpose of the shelf registration to be for takeover protection. However, I find considering the two topics together to be quite interesting; especially with where we are in the fuel nozzle timeline.

I'm not suggesting that getting bought out or taken over would be a good or bad thing. I'm just saying it's a possibility. That said...SGLB blocking a takeover attempt by GE could make for some interesting media.
