Stock Plan and Stock Options
In June 2023, the Company adopted, and the Company’s shareholders approved, the Autonomix Medical, Inc. 2023 Stock Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan is a stock-based compensation plan that provides for discretionary grants of stock options, stock awards and stock unit awards to key employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, subject to certain individual threshold limitations. The Plan initially provided for up to 200,000 shares to be issued, subject to adjustments as provided in the Plan. Shares that are surrendered because of forfeiture, expiration, termination, or cancellation are available for re-issuance.
In August 2023, the Plan was amended to allow for an automatic increase of the available shares for issuance, whereby on the 1st of each fiscal year, beginning on April 1, 2024 and ending on (and including) April 1, 2033 in an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the total number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on the March 31st immediately preceding the applicable date. However, the Board may act prior to the automatic increase of a given year to provide that there will be no increase for such year, or that the increase for such year will be a lesser number of shares of the Company's common stock. On April 1, 2024 and 2025, the Plan was increased by 47,116 and 124,852 shares, respectively.
In July 2025, the Company entered into stock option cancellation agreements with certain employees to cancel an aggregate of 57,331 stock options. Employees that elected to cancel their stock options were granted severance agreements for three, six or nine months of their base salary (under certain conditions). On August 11, 2025, the Company entered into stock option cancellation agreements with Board members and certain officers of the Company to cancel an aggregate of 177,652 stock options. The Company's Board members included Mr. Walter Klemp, Executive Chairman of the Board; Ms. Lori Bisson, Executive Vice Chairman of the Board; and Mr. Chris Capelli, Director, respectively, and included amounts of and respectively. The Company's officers included Mr. Brad Hauser, Chief Executive Officer and President; Mr. Landy Toth, Chief Technology Officer; Mr. Robert Schwartz, Chief Medical Officer; and Mr. Trent Smith, Chief Financial Officer, respectively, and included amounts of and respectively. Mr. Hauser was granted three months of his base salary, in addition to the twelve months of his base salary per his July 17, 2024 employment agreement. Mr. Toth and Mr. Schwartz were granted severance agreements that amounted to nine months of their base salary. Mr. Smith was granted three months of his base salary, in addition to the nine months of his base salary per his July 24, 2023 employment agreement. For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, as a result of the cancellation, the Company accelerated the recognition of $3.7 million of stock-based compensation expense. In exchange for the cancellation of the stock options, the Company entered into severance agreements with the certain employees, Board members and officers of the Company to provide the terms and conditions that would govern salary and benefits in the event of any future reductions in force. This was accounted for as a repurchase for no consideration.
The following table summarizes the stock option activity for the nine months ended December 31, 2025:
During the nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock with a contractual term that vests annually over years on the anniversary date. The options had an aggregate grant date fair value of approximately $9 thousand that was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model included the following: (1) fair value of common stock on the measurement date; (2) discount rate ranging of 4.06% based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury obligations, (3) expected life of 6.25 years based on the simplified method (vesting plus contractual term divided by two) and (4) expected volatility of 139% based on the historical volatility of comparable companies' stock.
All options issued and outstanding are being amortized over their respective vesting periods. The unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2025 was less than $0.1 million. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation - option expense of $0 and $3.6 million, respectively, in general and administrative expense and less than $0.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, in research and development expense. The amounts during these periods include the recognition of the remaining unamortized stock-based compensation - option expense related to the stock option cancellation agreements stated above. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation - option expense of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, in general and administrative expense and less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in research and development expense.
License Agreement
On July 10, 2024, the Company entered into a license agreement with RF Innovations, Inc. (“RFI”), a privately held medical technology company, to license products utilizing RFI’s intellectual property related to its Apex 6 Radiofrequency Generator (the “Licensed Products”). The Apex 6 Generator is a United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) cleared ablation technology designed to lesion neural tissue for pain management in the peripheral nervous system. Pursuant to the agreement, RFI granted us a perpetual non-exclusive worldwide royalty free fully paid license related to the Licensed Products, provided that the license did not include the right to sell certain products to customers for the treatment of spine pain. In connection with the agreement, the Company issued RFI 12,500 shares of its common stock as consideration for the license. The Company determined that the fair value of the shares granted was $0.1 million, which represented its stock price on the date of the agreement less a 25.6% discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”). The Company concluded a DLOM was appropriate as the shares were subject to an initial lock-up period of six months followed by restrictions that allow for a maximum of 10% of total shares to be sold within a 30-day period. The DLOM effectively reflects the value of an average strike put option relative to the Company's stock price and was calculated based on the Finnerty average put model. The Company concluded that the licensed technology qualified as a research and development expense pursuant to ASC Topic 730, Research and Development, as the Company does not have an alternative future use for the technology and the Company does not have a plan to otherwise monetize the Licensed Products. The agreement provides RFI the right to terminate the license if we breach any representation, warranty or covenant contained in the agreement, subject to any relevant cure periods, or if we are subject to a bankruptcy or insolvency event.
Offering Agreement
On November 22, 2024, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc., as representative of the several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), in connection with a firm commitment underwritten public offering (the “November 2024 Offering”) of: (i) 458,691 common units (the “Common Units”), each Common Unit consisting of share of Company common stock and series A warrant to purchase share of common stock (the “Series A Warrants”); and (ii) 917,596 pre-funded units (the “Pre-Funded Units”) and together with the Common Units, the "Units", each Pre-Funded Unit consisting of pre-funded warrant to purchase share of common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant”) and Series A Warrant. The purchase price of each Common Unit was $6.540, and the purchase price of each Pre-Funded Unit was $6.539. In addition, the Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day option to purchase an additional 206,422 shares of common stock, and/or an additional 206,422 Series A Warrants, solely to cover over-allotments, if any. The Pre-Funded Warrants had an exercise price of $0.001 per share and were immediately exercisable. The Series A Warrants had an exercise price of $6.540 per share, were immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until the -year anniversary of the date of issuance. Both the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Series A Warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%. The November 2024 Offering closed on November 25, 2024. On November 22, 2024, the Underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option with respect to 156,809 shares of common stock and 156,809 Series A Warrants. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters received an underwriting discount of 8.0% to the public offering price for the Units. The Company also issued to the representative of the Underwriters (the "Representative") Representative's Warrants to purchase up to 91,985 shares of common stock. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company, including the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, were approximately $10.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and other expenses by the Company of $1.5 million, including $0.5 million of non-cash expenses. The net cash proceeds to the Company were approximately $9.0 million.
The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share, are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full, subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%. The Series A Warrants have an exercise price of $6.540 per share and may be exercised at any time until the -year anniversary of the date of issuance, subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99%. The Pre-Funded Warrants and Series A Warrants were issued pursuant to a Warrant Agency Agreement between the Company and Equity Stock Transfer, LLC. The Series A Warrants and the Representative’s Warrants, largely have the same terms and conditions, except the Representative’s Warrants were not exercisable until May 21, 2025 and are subject to a 180-day lock-up prior to being transferable. The Series A Warrants and Representative’s Warrants may, at the option of the holder be settled upon a change of control at the Black-Scholes value, as defined in the agreement. Upon a change of control the holder may receive cash, other assets or shares of the successor entity, depending on the specific nature of the change of control transaction and the settlement options afforded to the holders of common stock. The Company analyzed the Pre-Funded Warrants, the Series A Warrants, and the Representative’s Warrants (collectively the “Offering Warrants”) in accordance with ASC Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Management concluded that the Offering Warrants meet all the requirements for equity classification. Since the Offering Warrants meet the requirements for equity classification and the Offering represents an arms-length cash transaction, the Common Units and Pre-Funded Units were recorded in equity based on the proceeds received, net of issuance costs.
At issuance the Pre-Funded Warrants had a fair value of $6.3290 per share, which represented the common stock issuance price less the $0.001 exercise price. At issuance, the Series A Warrants and the Representative’s Warrants had a fair value of $5.3597 and $5.2125 per share, respectively, which was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model included the following: (1) fair value of common stock on the measurement date; (2) discount rate of 4.17% based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury obligations, (3) the contractual term of the warrants and (4) expected volatility of 144.15% based on the historical volatility of comparable companies' stock. Due to the relative volume of Series A Warrants and Representative’s Warrants issued compared with the Company’s outstanding shares, the Company's stock price was adjusted for the effects of dilution. In connection with the November 2024 Offering, the Company incurred total offering costs of $1.5 million. This was comprised of $1.0 million in cash offering costs and $0.5 million for the fair value of the Representative’s Warrant issued.
Equity-Based Stock Warrants November 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement
On November 18, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with an institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Investor purchased in a private placement: (i) pre-funded warrants to purchase 4,501,666 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”); and (ii) Series C Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 9,003,332 shares of the Company's common stock (the “Common Warrants”) (the “November 2025 Offering”). The Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Warrants”. The combined purchase price of one Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrants was $1.1097. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance (the “Initial Exercise Date”). The exercise value of Pre-Funded Warrants was $0.001 per warrant share of the Company's common stock. The Common Warrants are exercisable into one share of the Company's common stock at a price per share of $0.8607 (as adjusted from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof) and expire and one-half years from the Initial Exercise Date. The Common Warrants are immediately exercisable for cash and may be exercised on a cashless basis if, at any time after the six-month anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date, there is no registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance or resale of shares of the Company's common stock underlying the Common Warrants to or by the holder. The holder of a Common Warrant is prohibited from exercising any Common Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of the Company's common stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election not to exceed 9.99%. In the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holder of the Common Warrants will have the right to receive the Black Scholes Value (as defined in the Common Warrants) of its Common Warrants calculated pursuant to a formula set forth in the Common Warrants, payable either in cash or in the same type or form of consideration that is being offered and being paid to the holders of Common Stock. With limited exceptions, the Company has agreed not to enter into or announce any transaction for the sale of any of its equity securities or securities convertible into its equity securities for a period of 60 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement pursuant to which the resale of the shares of the Company's common stock underlying the Warrants was registered. The Company has agreed not to effect or enter into an agreement to effect any issuance of the Company's common stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of the Company's common stock involving a Variable Rate Transaction (as defined in the Agreement) until six months after the effective date of the Registration Statement; provided that after 60 days from the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company will be permitted to make sales under its “at-the-market offering” sales agreement if the price per share of the Company's common stock in such transaction is greater than $1.1107 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from the November 2025 Offering were approximately $5.0 million, before deducting the Placement Agent’s commission and fees of thousand and other offering expenses of $36 thousand and excluding the proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. As of December 31, 2025, all 4,501,666 of these Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $0.001 per warrant share for incremental proceeds of $4.5 thousand.
At issuance the Series C Warrants had a fair value of $0.81 per share, respectively, which was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model included the following: (1) fair value of common stock on the measurement date; (2) discount rate based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury obligations, (3) the contractual term of the warrants and (4) expected volatility of approximately 154.8% based on the historical volatility of the company's common stock, respectively. Due to the relative volume of Series C Warrants issued compared with the Company’s outstanding shares and trading volume, the Company's stock price was adjusted for the effects of dilution.
The Company accounted for the November 2025 Offering as a capital transaction for the cash proceeds received, net of issuance costs. As a result of the application of ASC Sub-topic 815-40, it was determined that the Pre-Funded Warrants and Series C Warrants both met the requirements for equity classification. The proceeds from the Agreement were recorded in additional paid-in capital, net of the costs incurred.
In connection with the above November 2025 Offering, on November 18, 2025, the Company entered into a placement agency agreement with Maxim Group LLC (the “Placement Agent”) (the “Placement Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate fee equal to up to 8% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the securities in the transaction. The Company also reimbursed the Placement Agent $50,000 for the Placement Agent’s expenses.
The Company agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the Common Stock underlying the Warrants, within 20 days from the date the Agreement was executed, and to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 60 days from the date of the Agreement (or 90 days from the date of the Agreement if the SEC reviews the Registration Statement).
The Company filed a Registration Statement with the SEC on November 26, 2025, which went effective on December 11, 2025.
July 2025 Warrant Inducement Agreement
On July 21, 2025, the Company entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (each, an "Inducement Letter") with the holders ("Holders") of certain existing warrants issued in the November 2024 Offering to purchase up to 1,477,596 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Existing Warrants"). The Existing Warrants had an exercise price of $6.54 per share. Pursuant to the Inducement Letters, the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the Existing Warrants to $1.723 per share and the Holders agreed: (i) to exercise Existing Warrants to purchase 855,000 shares of Company common stock for $1.723 per share; and (ii) to prepay $1.722 per share of the reduced exercise price for Existing Warrants to purchase 622,596 shares of Company common stock in consideration of the Company further reducing the exercise price of such Existing Warrants to purchase 622,596 shares of Company common stock to $0.001 per share with a modified exercise term of 5.5 years. In consideration of the foregoing, the Company agreed to issue the Holders new warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of Company common stock equal to 100% of the number of shares of Company common stock underlying the Existing Warrants, comprised of new Series B warrants to purchase up to 1,477,596 shares of Company common stock (the “Inducement Warrants” and the shares of Company common stock underlying the Inducement Warrants, the “Inducement Warrant Shares”) at $1.723 per share with an exercise term of 5.5 years from the initial exercise date. In addition, the Company issued 88,656 Placement Agent Warrants at $2.671 per share with an exercise term of 5 years. The Company received total gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million, less cash expenses paid to the Placement Agent and advisors of approximately $0.3 million. Upon a change in control, the holder of warrants outstanding after the inducement transaction may receive cash, other assets or shares of the successor entity, depending on the specific nature of the change of control transaction and the settlement options afforded to the holders of common stock. All warrants issued or modified by the transaction meet the requirements for equity classification pursuant to ASC Sub-Topic 815-40.
At issuance the Inducement Warrants and the Placement Agent Warrants had a fair value of $1.56 and $1.50 per share, respectively, which was determined using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Variables used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model included the following: (1) fair value of common stock on the measurement date; (2) discount rate of 3.93 or 3.88% based on the daily yield curve rates for U.S. Treasury obligations, (3) the contractual term of the warrants and (4) expected volatility of approximately 150% and 151% based on the historical volatility of comparable companies' stock, respectively. Due to the relative volume of Series A Warrants and Placement Agent Warrants issued compared with the Company’s outstanding shares, the Company's stock price was adjusted for the effects of dilution.
The Company accounted for the Inducement Letter as a capital transaction for the cash proceeds received, net of issuance costs. As a result of the application of ASC Sub-topic 815-40, the Company considered the modification of the Existing Warrants and the issuance of the Inducement Warrants to represent a cost of the capital transaction.
The Company may not effect the exercise of certain Inducement Warrants, which upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Holder (together with its affiliates) to exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage of ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of such Inducement Warrants.
Subsequent to the Inducement Letter, 622,596 modified Existing Warrants were exercised at the remaining exercise price of $0.001 per share. The table below reflects the Existing Warrants modification, exercise and issuance as 1,477,596 Existing Warrants exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $1.723 per share, which is less than the previous $6.54 exercise price, and 1,477,596 Inducement Warrants granted at a weighted average exercise price of $1.723 per share.
The Company will periodically grant warrants to investors in connection with equity financing or to
third-party service providers in exchange for services rendered. The following table summarizes the stock warrant activity for the
nine months ended December 31, 2025:
The unrecognized compensation expense at December 31, 2025 for warrants issued to third-party service providers was $0. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded no stock-based compensation - warrant expense. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded stock-based compensation - warrant expense of less than $0.1 million and less than $ million, respectively.
