The December 2025 PIPE Warrants have an exercise price of $2.04. Certain Company insiders, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, participated in the December 2025 PIPE. These Company insiders purchased an aggregate of 735,294 shares of Common Stock and December 2025 PIPE Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,470,588 shares of Common Stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.5 million. The purchase price per share of Common Stock and accompanying December 2025 PIPE Warrants for these Company insiders was the same as paid by other investors in the December 2025 PIPE.

In connection with the December 2025 PIPE, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the securities sold in the December 2025 PIPE financing. The Company filed a Form S-3 on January 22, 2026, which was declared effective by the SEC on January 29, 2026. The Company received net cash proceeds of approximately $3.8 million from the December 2025 PIPE after deducting approximately $0.3 million of placement agent fees and legal and audit firm fees.

Warrant Inducements

 

In March 2025, the Company entered into the March 2025 Inducement Letter with a Holder who agreed to exercise 483,447 warrants to purchase Common Stock at a reduced exercise price of $12.84 per share in exchange for 498,080 New Series A Warrants and 468,813 New Series B Warrants with an exercise price of $12.84 per share. The March 2025 Inducement Letter, which resulted in the lowering of the exercise price of the Existing Warrants and the issuance of the New Warrants, is considered a modification of the Existing Warrants under the guidance ASC 815-40. The modification is consistent with the equity issuance classification under that guidance as the reason for the modification was to induce the holders of the Existing Warrants to cash exercise their warrants, which raised equity capital and generated net proceeds of approximately $5.7 million. As the Existing Warrants and the New Warrants were classified as equity instruments before and after the exchange, and as the exchange is directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $4.9 million as an equity issuance cost.

 

In May 2024, the Company completed the May 2024 Inducement with the May 2024 Holders who agreed to exercise 51,633 warrants to purchase Common Stock at a reduced exercise price of $51.60 per share in exchange for 60,117 New May 2024 Series A Warrants and 43,149 New May 2024 Series B Warrants with an exercise price of $49.10 per share. The May 2024 Inducement, which resulted in the lowering of the exercise price of the May 2024 Existing Warrants and the issuance of the May 2024 New Warrants, is considered a modification of the May 2024 Existing Warrants under the guidance ASC 815-40. The modification is consistent with the equity issuance classification under that guidance as the reason for the modification was to induce the holders of the May 2024 Existing Warrants to cash exercise their warrants, which raised equity capital and generated net proceeds of approximately $2.3 million. As the May 2024 Existing Warrants and the May 2024 New Warrants were classified as equity instruments before and after the exchange, and as the exchange is directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $1.5 million as an equity issuance cost.

 

Warrant Modification

 

In connection with the December 2025 PIPE, the Company and certain holders of the Company’s outstanding warrants that participated as investors in the January 2025 PIPE, agreed to amend certain outstanding warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 120,734 shares of the Company’s common stock that were previously issued on January 23, 2025, with an exercise price of $12.70 per share (which exercise price reflects a 1-for-10 reverse stock split effected by the Company on August 1, 2025), effective upon the closing of the December 2025 PIPE, such that the amended warrants have a reduced exercise price of $2.04 per share. The amended warrants are exercisable subject to stockholder approval and will expire five years from the effective date of such stockholder approval. The modification of the January 2025 PIPE Warrants was accounted for as a modification of equity-linked instruments. In accordance with ASC 815-40, as the warrants were classified as equity instruments before and after the modification, and as the modification was directly attributable to an equity offering, the Company recognized the effect of the modification of approximately $0.1 million as an equity issuance cost.
