Whether they have a few million or a few billion its whether they issue them or not.
You think the company is going on the Nasdaq to invite institutional investors in order to dilute. Their SP would drop so fast and they would be delisted under $1.
Come on people. They will be on the Nasdaq where less manipulation, a low float and lots of ammo to make good choices.
A company that wants to screw you, can do so with 200 million shares or 2 billion. Trust in mgmt or don't but who cares about a/s.

SpongeTech’s authorized common shares refer to the maximum number of common shares that the Company is permitted to issue. The term outstanding shares refers to the number of shares the Company has issued and are currently held by investors and shareholders.
