Series D Convertible Preferred Stock – On June 10, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue, in a private placement (the “June 2025 Private Placement”), (i) an aggregate of 3,400 shares of the Company’s newly designated Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, with a stated value of $100 per share (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), initially convertible into up to 61,816 shares of the Company’s common stock (such shares underlying the Preferred Stock, the “Conversion Shares”), par value $0.01 per share at an initial conversion price of $5.50, and (ii) Series I common stock purchase warrants (the “Series I Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 123,636 shares of Common Stock (such shares underlying the Series I Warrants, the “Series I Warrant Shares”). The Series D Preferred Stock and Series I Warrants were sold at a combined offering price of $5.50 per share of Series D Preferred Stock and accompanying Series I Warrants. The Purchasers in the June 2025 Private Placement consisted of Carl Spana, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen T. Wills, the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Operating Officer, John K.A. Prendergast, a director and Chairperson of the Company’s board of directors, and Alan W. Dunton, a director on the Company’s board of directors, who are all related parties of the Company. The Series D Preferred Stock has a dividend rate of 8% per annum, which when declared may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash or can accrete and be added to the stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock. Subject to the rights of any class or series of stock senior to or equivalent to the Series D Preferred Stock, the Series D Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, out of available funds and assets, prior and in preference to any distribution on any junior stock, an amount per share equal to the then stated value of the Series D Preferred Stock and declared but unpaid dividends. Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, and such conversion could dilute the value of our common stock to current stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The conversion price decreases if we sell common stock (or equivalents) for a price per share less than the conversion price and is also subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, reclassification, stock dividend or stock split which results in an increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding. The June 2025 Private Placement closed on June 13, 2025. The gross proceeds from the June 2025 Private Placement, before deducting offering expenses, were $340,000.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock – As of June 30, 2026, 4,030 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were outstanding.

As of June 30, 2026, the Series A Conversion Price was $260.86, and each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into approximately 0.38 shares of common stock. The Series A Conversion Price is subject to adjustment, under certain circumstances, upon the sale or issuance of common stock for consideration per share less than either (i) the Series A Conversion Price in effect on the date of such sale or issuance, or (ii) the market price of the common stock as of the date of such sale or issuance. The Series A Conversion Price is also subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of a merger, reorganization, consolidation, reclassification, stock dividend or stock split which will result in an increase or decrease in the number of shares of common stock outstanding. Shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock have a preference in liquidation, including certain merger transactions, of $100 per share, or $403,000 in the aggregate as of June 30, 2026.

The Series K Warrants expire on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date, however, if a holder’s Series J Warrants have not been terminated in accordance with their terms prior to the expiration of the FDA Exercise Period, such holder’s Series K Warrants will terminate automatically upon the earlier of the (i) eighteen-month anniversary of the original issuance date of the Series J Warrants or (ii) expiration of the FDA Exercise Period and prior to the five-year anniversary of the issuance of the Series K Warrant.

The pre-funded warrants are exercisable at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share until exercised in full and may not be exercised to the extent such exercise would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The November 2025 Offering closed on November 12, 2025, and was subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

 

On May 7, 2025, the Company announced the closing of a reduced previously announced public offering with participation from institutional and accredited investors consisting of 146,479 shares of common stock together with Series F warrants to purchase up to 146,479 shares of common stock (the “Series F Warrants”), Series G warrants to purchase up to 146,479 shares of common stock (the “Series G Warrants”), and Series H warrants to purchase up to 146,479 shares of common stock (the “Series H Warrants”), at a combined public offering price of $7.50 per share of common stock and accompanying warrants (the “May 2025 Offering”).

The Series G Warrants have an exercise price of $7.50 per share, are immediately exercisable and expire on the earlier of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the original issuance date or (ii) the expiration of the FDA Exercise Period (as such term is defined in the Series G Warrant).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

The Company did not grant stock options for the year ended June 30, 2025. For the year ended June 30, 2026, the fair value of option grants was estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes model. The Company’s weighted average assumptions for the year ended June 30, 2026, was as follows:

 

   Year Ended 
   June 30, 2026 
     
Risk-free interest rate   3.9%
Volatility factor   109.7%
Dividend yield   0%
Expected option life (years)   5.9 
Weighted average grant date fair value  $16.45 

 

Expected volatilities are based on the Company’s historical volatility. The expected term of options is based upon the simplified method, which represents the average of the vesting term and the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for securities with terms approximating the expected term of the option.

 

For the years ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation related to stock options of $579,389 and $702,789, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, there was $881,056 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years.
