NOTE 7 – Stockholders’ Equity

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. This preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, and shall have such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as shall be determined at the time of issuance by the Company’s board of directors without further action by the Company’s shareholders. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock have been designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock have been designated as Series B Preferred Stock, and 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock remain undesignated.

 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, are not mandatorily redeemable and do not embody an unconditional obligation to settle in a variable number of equity shares. As such, the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are classified as permanent equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The holders’ contingent redemption right in the event of certain deemed liquidation events does not preclude permanent equity classification. Further, the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are considered an equity-like host for purposes of assessing embedded derivative features for potential bifurcation. The embedded conversion feature is considered to be clearly and closely related to the associated convertible preferred stock host instrument and therefore was not bifurcated from the equity host. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

 

 

Series B Preferred Stock

 

On November 2, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada to create a new class of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series B Preferred Stock”). The Certificate of Designation designated 2,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock as Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock was not entitled to receive dividends or any other distributions. The Series B Preferred Stock was entitled to ten votes per share and voted together with the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock as a single class exclusively with respect to a proposal to increase the number of shares of common stock that the Company was authorized to issue, together with any ancillary or administrative matters necessary or advisable in connection with the implementation of such increase. The Series B Preferred Stock had no rights as to any distribution or assets of the Company upon liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, merger, acquisition, sale, dissolution or winding up of the Company. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.

On January 7, 2025, the Company issued 3,750,000 common shares in connection with the exercise of the 3,750,000 April 2024 Inducement Warrants (as defined below) for cash proceeds of $5,625,000. See Warrants section below.

 

On January 13, 2025, the Company entered into a Patent Application Acquisition Agreement with Med30 LLC (the “Seller”), whereby the Seller sold, conveyed, assigned and transferred to the Company all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to certain patent applications and associated rights, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in such agreement for a cash payment of $400,000 and the issuance of 450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. These common shares were valued at $850,500, or $1.89 per share, on the measurement date based on quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock (see Note 4).

 

On November 8, 2024, the Company entered into the ATM Agreement with Wainwright under which the Company could offer and sell shares of its common stock through Wainwright as the sales agent pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-272620), including an accompanying base prospectus and a prospectus supplement dated November 8, 2024. Sales of shares of the Company’s common stock through Wainwright, if any, will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Wainwright will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time, based on instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits or other parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company will pay Wainwright a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sales of shares of the Company’s common stock sold through Wainwright under the ATM Agreement and will also reimburse Wainwright for certain specified expenses in connection with the ATM Agreement. The aggregate market value of the shares of common stock eligible for sale is currently $5,257,000. From November 8, 2024 through August 13, 2026, the Company sold 9,825,684 shares of common stock through the ATM Agreement which resulted in approximately $13.56 million in gross proceeds.

For each share of common stock purchased by the investors, the Company, in a private placement pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, concurrently issued to such investors warrants to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share (the “April 2026 Warrants”). The April 2026 Warrants are exercisable six months from the date of issuance (the “Initial Exercise Date”) for a period of five years from the Initial Exercise Date. Gross proceeds were approximately $2,000,000, and the Company received net proceeds of $1,611,880, after deducting placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses paid by the Company of $388,121.

The April Placement Agent Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.875 per share and expire on April 1, 2031.

 

On May 14, 2026, the Company issued 500,000 shares of its common stock for business development and consulting services rendered and to be rendered. These shares were valued at $332,950, or $0.67 per common share, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the measurement date, and will be amortized into stock-based consulting fees over the estimated term of the agreement of one year. In connection with the issuance of these shares, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded stock-based professional fees of $41,619, and as of June 30, 2026, the Company recorded prepaid expenses of $291,331, which will be amortized over the remaining service period through May 14, 2027.

In connection with the issuance of these shares, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recorded stock-based professional fees of $9,975, and as of June 30, 2026, the Company recorded prepaid expenses of $149,625, which will be amortized over the remaining service period through June 10, 2027.

 

Warrants

 

On March 27, 2024, as an inducement to exercise certain warrants, the Company issued new unregistered warrants to purchase up to 3,750,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share (the “April 2024 Inducement Warrants”). On January 7, 2025, the Company issued 3,750,000 common shares in connection with the exercise of the 3,750,000 April 2024 Inducement Warrants for cash proceeds of $5,625,000.

 

On June 4, 2025, pursuant to a six-month marketing service agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to a consultant of the Company for investor relations services. The warrants expire on June 4, 2027. The grant date fair value of these warrants was $333,150, which was recorded as a prepaid expense, was expensed as stock-based professional fees over the term of the marketing service agreement. In connection with this warrant, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded stock-based professional fees of $55,525 and $55,525, respectively.

 

On April 2, 2026, in connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued the investors the April 2026 Warrants to purchase up to 2,857,144 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share. The April 2026 Warrants are exercisable six months from the date of issuance for a period of five years from the Initial Exercise Date. Additionally, in connection with the offering, the Company issued April Placement Agent Warrants to the designees of the placement agent to purchase up to 142,857 shares of common stock. The April Placement Agent Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.875 per share and expire on April 1, 2031.

 

The measurement of fair value of the April 2026 Warrants and April Placement Agent Warrants was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current on April 2, 2026, the date of issuance. The grant date fair value of these April 2026 Warrants and April Placement Agent Warrants was estimated to be $1,389,829 on April 2, 2026 and was reflected within additional paid-in capital as the April 2026 Warrants and April Placement Agent Warrants were determined to be equity classified.

 

 

The fair value of the April 2026 Warrants, April Placement Agent Warrants and other warrants were estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 

 

    April 2, 2026     June 4, 2025  
Exercise price     $0.85 to $0.875     $ 1.00  
Term (years)     5.0 to 5.5       2.0  
Expected stock price volatility     120.35 %     129.68 %
Risk-free rate of interest     3.94 %     3.87 %

The Company has determined that the warrants should be accounted for as a component of stockholders’ equity.
