Offering of Common Stock
On November 12, 2025, the Company closed the November 2025 Offering (see “Liquidity” in Note 2 above).
Offerings of Common Stock and Warrants
On April 6, 2026, the Company closed the April 2026 Offering (see “Liquidity in Note 2 above).
In connection with the April 2026 Offering, the Company issued 2026 Series A and 2026 Series B Warrants, together the “2026 Warrants”, each with an initial exercise price per share of $1.40 per share (or $1.399 per Pre-Funded Warrant). The 2026 Series A Warrants are exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, and will expire on April 6, 2027. The 2026 Series B Warrants are exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, and will expire on April 6, 2031. As the 2026 Warrants are not indexed to the Company's common stock, the Company will record a liability for the 2026 Warrants at fair value upon issuance on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The common stock warrant liability will be remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period, with changes in fair value recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
A holder of the 2026 Warrants will not be entitled to exercise any portion of such 2026 Warrant that, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates, any other persons acting as a group together with the holder and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to exceed 4.99% (or, upon election by the holder prior to the issuance of the Warrant, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. If a holder holds less than 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to giving effect to the issuance of shares issuable upon exercise, then, upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from such holder, subject to the terms of the 2026 Warrants, such holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%. If the holder is not permitted to exercise a 2026 Series A Warrant or a 2026 Series B Warrant for common stock due to the foregoing limitation, then the holder may exercise such 2026 Warrant for an equivalent number of Pre-Funded Warrants with an exercise price of $0.001. In addition, in certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction (as described in the 2026 Warrants), a holder of 2026 Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the 2026 Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the 2026 Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction or number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation. In lieu of receiving such Common Stock in the fundamental transaction, the 2026 Warrant holder may elect to have the Company or the successor entity purchase the holder’s 2026 Warrant for its fair market value measured by the Black-Scholes method.
On July 7, 2025, the Company closed the July 2025 Offering (see “Liquidity” in Note 2 above).
In connection with the July 2025 Offering, the Company issued 2025 Series A and 2025 Series B Warrants, together the “2025 Warrants”, each with an initial exercise price per share of $1.75 (or $1.749 per Pre-Funded Warrant). The 2025 Series A Warrants were exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, and were originally scheduled to expire on the date that is the earlier of (i) July 7, 2026 or (ii) 30 days after the date on which the Company first publicly disclosed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s acceptance of a Biologic License Application for INO-3107. The 2025 Series A Warrants were subsequently amended on January 27, 2026 to extend their expiration date to March 31, 2026, and expired on that date. The 2025 Series B Warrants are exercisable at any time, in whole or in part, and will expire on July 7, 2030.
A holder of the 2025 Warrants will not be entitled to exercise any portion of such 2025 Warrant that, upon giving effect to
such exercise, would cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder (together with its affiliates, any other persons acting as a group together with the holder and any other persons whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the holder for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to exceed 4.99% (or, upon election by the holder prior to the issuance of the 2025 Warrant, 9.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise. If a holder holds less than 20% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to giving effect to the issuance of shares issuable upon exercise, then, upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from such holder, subject to the terms of the 2025 Warrants, such holder may increase or decrease such percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99%. If the holder is not permitted to exercise a 2025 Series A Warrant or a 2025 Series B Warrant for common stock due to the foregoing limitation, then the holder may exercise such 2025 Warrant for an equivalent number of Pre-Funded Warrants with an exercise price of $0.001. In addition, in certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction (as described in the 2025 Warrants), a holder of 2025 Warrants will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of the 2025 Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the 2025 Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction or number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation. In lieu of receiving such Common Stock in the fundamental transaction, the 2025 Warrant holder may elect to have the Company or the successor entity purchase the holder’s 2025 Warrant for its fair market value measured by the Black-Scholes method.
As the 2025 Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock, the Company recorded a liability for the 2025 Warrants at fair value upon issuance on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The common stock warrant liability is remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period.
On December 16, 2024, the Company closed an underwritten public offering (the "December 2024 Offering"), relating to the issuance and sale of 10,000,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of common stock (the “December 2024 Warrants”), at an offering price of $3.00 per share and accompanying Warrant. The exercise price of the December 2024 Warrants is $3.76 per share. The net proceeds from the December 2024 Offering were $27.6 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company.
The December 2024 Warrants may be exercised at any time, in whole or in part, until expiration on December 16, 2029. As the December 2024 Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common stock, the Company recorded a liability for the December 2024 Warrants at fair value upon issuance on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The common stock warrant liability is remeasured to fair value at the end of each reporting period.
On April 18, 2024, the Company closed an underwritten registered direct offering (the “April 2024 Offering”), relating to the issuance and sale of 2,536,258 shares (the “Shares”) of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $7.693 per share and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 2,135,477 shares of common stock (the “April 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a price of $7.692 per April 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant, which represents the per share price for the Shares less the $0.001 per share exercise price for each April 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant. The net proceeds from the April 2024 Offering were $33.2 million, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses paid by the Company.
In July 2025, all of the 2,135,477 April 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised in full, with proceeds to the Company of $2,000.

The 2024 Sales Agreement provides that the Sales Agent is entitled to compensation in an amount equal to up to 3.0% of the gross sales proceeds of any common stock sold through the Sales Agent under the 2024 Sales Agreement, and the Company has provided the Sales Agent with certain indemnification rights.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company sold 667,074 shares of its common stock under the 2024 Sales Agreement.
