Stockholders' Equity

8. Stockholders’ Equity

Merger and Related Share Consolidation

On April 6, 2026, the Company effected the Share Consolidation of its outstanding shares of common stock pursuant to which every 50 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were converted into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Share Consolidation. Stockholders of record who otherwise were entitled to receive fractional shares received an amount in cash (without interest or deduction) equal to the fraction of one share to which such stockholder was otherwise entitled multiplied by the closing price of the common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on April 6, 2026. All share and per share

amounts included within these condensed consolidated financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation.

November 2025 Standby Equity Purchase Agreement

In November 2025, in connection with the entry into the PPAs (as defined in Note 1), the Company entered into the SEPA with Yorkville pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Yorkville SEPA Shares to the Commitment Amount, over a 36-month period. Sales of SEPA Shares to Yorkville and the timing of any such sales are at the Company’s option, and the Company is under no obligation to sell such shares to Yorkville. The SEPA will automatically terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the 36-month anniversary of the effective date or (ii) the date on which Yorkville has purchased SEPA Shares equal to the Commitment Amount. The Company has the right to terminate the SEPA at no cost or penalty with five trading days’ written notice. The Company and Yorkville may also agree to terminate the SEPA by mutual written consent.

Each advance (each, a “SEPA Advance”) the Company requests from Yorkville may be for a number of SEPA Shares up to 100% of the average daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market during the five trading days immediately prior to the date of the Company’s request. The SEPA Shares delivered by the Company will be purchased by Yorkville at a price equal to 97% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock during the three trading days prior to the request, subject to a minimum price that may be specified in the Company’s request.

The issuance of shares under the SEPA is subject to further limitations and conditions, including that the shares of common stock beneficially owned by each Investor and its affiliates at any one time will not exceed 4.99% of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.

As consideration for Yorkville’s commitment to purchase SEPA Shares, the Company paid Yorkville a cash structuring fee and issued 4,868 shares of common stock to Yorkville. Such fees, totaling approximately $0.3 million, were expensed as incurred and are presented as a component of other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. During three months ended March 31, 2026, 48,092 SEPA Shares were sold under the SEPA, with gross proceeds to the Company totaling approximately $0.4 million.

December 2024 Offering and Warrant Issuance

In December 2024, the Company closed on an offering (the “December 2024 Offering”) of 193,581 shares of common stock at a price of $47.60 per share with accompanying warrants to purchase up to 193,581 shares of common stock, which initially had an exercise price of $59.50 per share (the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the re-pricing mechanism contained in the Warrants, the exercise price of the Warrants was reduced to $4.35 to match the lowest VWAP of our common stock during the eleven (11) trading days commencing five (5) trading days immediately preceding the Share Consolidation and ending five (5) trading days immediately following the Share Consolidation. As discussed in Note 4, the Company recorded a liability at fair value related to the issuance of the Warrants, with changes in fair value each reporting period recognized as a component of other income (loss) in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As the Share Consolidation and warrant re-pricing occurred after March 31, 2026, the fair value of the warrant liability as of March 31, 2026 was determined using the unadjusted exercise price of $59.50. The accompanying Warrants became exercisable on June 20, 2025 and will expire five years from the date of initial exercisability. There were 193,581 Warrants outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2026.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

Under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), the Company may grant awards of common stock to the Company’s employees, consultants and non-employee directors pursuant to option awards, stock appreciation rights awards, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance stock awards, performance stock unit awards and other stock-based awards. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total number of common shares authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan was 276,247 and 245,477, respectively. On January 1st of each year, commencing with the first January 1st following the effective date of the 2020 Plan, the shares authorized for issuance under the 2020 Plan shall be increased by the number of shares equal to the lesser of 4% of the total number of shares outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31st and such lesser number of shares determined by the Company’s board of directors. The maximum term of the options granted under the 2020 Plan is no more than ten years. Awards under the 2020 Plan generally vest at 25% one year from the vesting commencement date and ratably each month thereafter for a period of 36 months, subject to continuous service as an employee, non-employee director, or independent contractor.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized for all equity awards under the 2020 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 has been reported in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss as follows (in thousands):

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) permits participants to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 15% of their eligible compensation. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, a total of 77,008 shares and 60,717 shares, respectively, of common stock were authorized for issuance under the ESPP. The number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance will automatically increase on January 1 of each calendar year, from January 1, 2021 through January 1, 2030 by the least of (i) 1.0% of the total number of common shares of our common stock outstanding on December 31 of the preceding calendar year (calculated on a fully diluted basis), (ii) 18,593 common shares or (iii) a number determined by the Company’s board of directors that is less than (i) and (ii). The Company did not issue any shares of common stock under the ESPP during the three months ended

March 31, 2026 and 2025. As of March 31, 2026, 60,077 shares of common stock remained available for issuance under the ESPP. Stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was immaterial.
