Common Stock

 

In January 2026, the Company extended its At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with its sales agent (the “Sales Agent”), providing for the additional sale of up to $705,000 of its shares of Common Stock as set forth in the ATM Agreement, adding to the registered capacity of approximately $1.4 million which remained as of December 31, 2025, for total remaining capacity of approximately $2.1 million. During January 2026, the Company issued 824,283 shares of its Common Stock under the ATM Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $2.0 million after paying the Sales Agent a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of approximately $67,000 and other transactional fees. After issuance of the 824,283 shares of its Common Stock under its ATM Agreement during January 2026, no capacity remained under the Company’s ATM Agreement.

 

On December 29, 2025, the Company closed a private placement (the “December 2025 PIPE”) priced at the market under Nasdaq rules, in which it sold 1,484,312 shares of Common Stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 537,750 shares of Common Stock with an exercise price of $0.001 per share (“December 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants”), 2,022,062 Series C warrants (the “Series C Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,022,062 shares of Common Stock, and 2,022,062 Series D warrants (the “Series D Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,022,062 shares of Common Stock (together the “December 2025 PIPE Warrants”), for gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million. The December 2025 PIPE Warrants have an exercise price of $2.04. Certain Company insiders, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, participated in the December 2025 PIPE. These Company insiders purchased an aggregate of 735,294 shares of Common Stock and December 2025 PIPE Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,470,588 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.5 million. The purchase price per share of Common Stock and accompanying December 2025 PIPE Warrants for these Company insiders was the same as paid by other investors in the December 2025 PIPE. The December 2025 PIPE Warrants are exercisable subject to stockholder approval. In connection with the December 2025 PIPE, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the securities sold in the December 2025 PIPE financing. The Company filed a Form S-3 on January 22, 2026, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 29, 2026. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $3.8 million from the December 2025 PIPE after deducting approximately $0.3 million of placement agent fees and legal and audit firm fees. During the first quarter of 2026, all of the 537,750 December 2025 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised, leaving no prefunded warrants outstanding.

 

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) acted as the exclusive placement agent for the December 2025 PIPE. In addition to the placement agent fees, the Company issued to Wainwright, or its designees, warrants (the “December 2025 PIPE Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 141,544 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $2.55 per share. The grant date fair value of the December 2025 PIPE Placement Agent Warrants was $0.2 million, which represents a non-cash issuance cost, and which was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, using the following significant assumptions: expected term of 5.4 years, expected volatility of 134.9%, risk-free interest rate of 3.67% and dividend yield of 0.0%.

 

In November 2025, the Company extended its ATM Agreement with its Sales Agent, providing for the additional sale of up to approximately $1.8 million of its shares of Common Stock as set forth in the ATM Agreement. The Sales Agent was entitled to compensation at a fixed commission rate of 3.0% of the gross sales price of the shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the ATM Agreement, as well as other transactional fees. During December 2025, the Company issued 149,341 shares of Common Stock under the ATM Agreement resulting in gross proceeds of $0.4 million before deducting approximately $15,000 of Sales Agent issuance costs. After issuance of the 149,341 shares during December 2025, approximately $1.4 million remained registered under the ATM Agreement as of December 31, 2025, which was subsequently utilized during the first quarter of 2026, leaving no remaining capacity as of March 31, 2026.

 

 

On March 27, 2025, the Company entered into an inducement offer letter agreement (the “March 2025 Inducement Letter”) with a holder (the “Holder”) of certain of its existing warrants to purchase an aggregate of 483,447 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

Pursuant to the March 2025 Inducement Letter, the Holder agreed to exercise for cash its Existing Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $12.84 per share in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue in a private placement (i) new Series A common stock purchase warrants (the “New Series A Warrants”) to purchase up to 498,080 shares of Common Stock and (ii) new Series B common stock purchase warrants (the “New Series B Warrants” and together with the New Series A Warrants, the “New Warrants”) to purchase up to 468,813 shares of Common Stock. The New Warrants were exercisable subject to stockholder approval, which the Company received at a stockholder meeting on July 15, 2025.

Warrant Inducements

 

In March 2025, the Company entered into the March 2025 Inducement Letter with a Holder who agreed to exercise 483,447 warrants to purchase Common Stock at a reduced exercise price of $12.84 per share in exchange for 498,080 New Series A Warrants and 468,813 New Series B Warrants with an exercise price of $12.84 per share. The March 2025 Inducement Letter, which resulted in the lowering of the exercise price of the Existing Warrants and the issuance of the New Warrants, is considered a modification of the Existing Warrants under the guidance ASC 815-40. The modification is consistent with the equity issuance classification under that guidance as the reason for the modification was to induce the holders of the Existing Warrants to cash exercise their warrants, which raised equity capital and generated net proceeds of approximately $5.7 million. As the Existing Warrants and the New Warrants were classified as equity instruments before and after the exchange, and as the exchange is directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $4.9 million as an equity issuance cost.

 

 

Warrant Modification

 

In connection with the December 2025 PIPE, the Company and certain holders of the Company’s outstanding warrants that participated as investors in the January 2025 PIPE, agreed to amend certain outstanding warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 120,734 shares of the Company’s common stock that were previously issued on January 23, 2025, with an exercise price of $12.70 per share (which exercise price reflects a 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected by the Company on August 1, 2025), effective upon the closing of the December 2025 PIPE, such that the amended warrants have a reduced exercise price of $2.04 per share. The amended warrants are exercisable subject to stockholder approval and will expire five years from the effective date of such stockholder approval. The Company’s annual meeting of stockholders is scheduled for May 27, 2026. The modification of the January 2025 PIPE Warrants was accounted for as a modification of equity-linked instruments. In accordance with ASC 815-40, as the warrants were classified as equity instruments before and after the modification, and as the modification was directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $0.1 million as an equity issuance cost.

 

Placement Agent Warrants

 

The Company works with Wainwright to act as its investment bank for certain financing transactions. Per the terms of the Company’s engagement letter with Wainwright, the Company pays compensation in the form of fees and reimbursed expenses, as well as the issuance to Wainwright, or its designees, warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company equal to 7.0% of aggregate number of Common Stock issued in a related to the financing at an exercise price equal to 125% of the financing price.
