On June 2, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement and registration rights agreement with certain institutional, accredited investors pursuant to which the Company sold in a private placement (i) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 3,655,917 shares of common stock (the “June 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants”), (ii) Series G warrants (the “Series G Warrants”) to purchase up to 3,655,917 shares of common stock and (iii) Series H warrants (the “Series H Warrants”) to purchase up to 3,655,917 shares of common stock. The combined price of the securities sold in the private placement was $2.3249 per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Series G Warrant and Series H Warrant. The June 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, and expire once exercised in full. As of August 7, 2026, 3,433,336 of the June 2026 Pre-Funded Warrants have been exercised and 222,581 remain unexercised and outstanding. The Series G Warrants and Series H Warrants are immediately exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.075 per share. The Series G Warrants expire on June 26, 2031 and the Series H Warrants expire on June 26, 2028.
The transaction closed on June 5, 2026. The gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of the securities sold in the private placement were approximately $8.5 million. The Company incurred total offering costs of $942,262, including a 7% financial advisory fee to H.C. Wainwright & Co. (“Wainwright”), the placement agent, of approximately $595,000. Under the terms of the Company’s engagement letter with Wainwright, the Company issued Wainwright (or its designees) warrants to purchase up to 255,914 shares of common stock on the same terms as the Series G Warrants, except that the exercise price is $2.9063 per share (the “June 2026 Placement Agent Warrants”).
In connection with this private placement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3, which became effective on June 26, 2026 to register 11,223,665 shares of common stock (including any shares of common stock issued in the future pursuant to the Series G Warrants, the Series H Warrants or June 2026 Placement Agent Warrants) for resale in public markets.
Holders of the warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of such warrants if such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% (at the initial election of the holder) of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, provided that a holder may increase or decrease such beneficial ownership limitation up to, and no higher than, 9.99%, by giving 61 calendar days’ notice to the Company.

The combined price of the securities sold in the private placement was $8.00 per share of common stock (or prefunded warrant in lieu thereof, in which case such price was reduced by $0.0004) and accompanying Series F Warrants to acquire two shares of common stock. The October 2025 Prefunded Warrants were exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0004 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire once exercised in full. As of March 31, 2026, all of the October 2025 Prefunded Warrants were exercised in full. The Series F Warrants are exercisable for shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire five and years from the date of issuance.
The transaction closed on October 10, 2025. The gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of the securities sold in the private placement were approximately $4.5 million. The Company incurred total offering costs of $787,755, including a 8% financial advisory fee to Rodman and Renshaw LLC (“Rodman”), the placement agent, of approximately $360,000. Under the terms of the Company’s engagement letter with Rodman, the Company issued Rodman’s designees warrants to purchase up to 45,000 of common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which expire 5.5 years from the date of issuance (the “October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants”).
In connection with this private placement, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3, which became effective on November 26, 2025 to register 1,732,500 shares of common stock (including any shares of common stock issued in the future pursuant to the Series F Warrants or October 2025 Placement Agent Warrants) for resale in public markets.
Holders of the warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of such warrants if such holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% (at the initial election of the holder) of the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, provided that a holder may increase or decrease such beneficial ownership limitation up to, and no higher than, 9.99%, by giving 61 calendar days’ notice to the Company.
April 2025 Private Placement
On April 7, 2025, the Company entered into inducement letter agreements with certain existing holders of the Company’s Class C warrants (the “Class C Warrants”), pursuant to which such holders agreed to purchase an aggregate of 271,277 shares of the Company’s common stock (or, to the extent the applicable holder would have exceeded a specified beneficial ownership limitation, prefunding the future exercise of such warrants, other than a remaining $0.0004 per share exercise price). The Class C Warrants were originally issued on June 28, 2024 for an exercise price of $392.00 per share and were subsequently reduced to $65.20 per share pursuant to stockholder approval on August 21, 2024. Pursuant to the inducement letter agreements, the applicable holders agreed to exercise their Series C Warrants at a reduced exercise price of $13.68 per share, and to purchase an equivalent number of new Class E warrants (the “Class E Warrants”) for an additional $0.50 per share. The Class E Warrants have an exercise price of $13.68 per share and expire on April 8, 2030.
The transaction closed on April 8, 2025. The exercise of the Class C Warrants resulted in the Company issuing 170,551 shares of common stock at closing pursuant to the inducement letters, and the exercise price of 100,726 of the Class C Warrants being amended to $0.0004 per share. As of December 31, 2025, all such reduced exercise price Class C Warrants had been exercised.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the exercise of the Class C Warrants and the sale of the new Class E Warrants were $3,846,692. The Company incurred total cash offering costs of $464,670, including a 10% financial advisory fee to Aegis Capital Corp. of $384,670.
The modification of the terms or conditions of the Class C Warrants in this transaction is treated as an exchange of the original instrument for a new instrument. Using the Black Scholes option pricing model, the fair value of the Series C Warrants immediately prior to the inducement transaction was $479,299 and immediately after the inducement transaction was $1,590,930. In addition, Series E Warrants with a fair value of $1,730,652 were provided as part of the inducement transaction for a purchase price of $135,638. The Company recorded additional equity issuance costs of $2,706,645 related to the modification of the Series C Warrants and issuance of Series E Warrants related to the inducement transaction. As this equity issuance cost was a non-cash transaction, the Company recorded an increase to additional paid-in capital to offset the expense. |
