Why is Backblaze stock sliding today?

Backblaze (BLZE) stock fell 8.3% in after-hours trading to $17.60 after announcing a $150M convertible note offering, with a 13-day over-allotment option for $22.5M more. The company's stock had risen over 60% in two weeks prior. The broader market was relatively flat, indicating the decline was company-specific. The notes, due 2031, may dilute existing shares. BofA Securities is leading the deal.
