Key Financial Metrics

- Commission Rate: Up to 3.0% of gross proceeds payable to the sales agent.
- Securities Involved: Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share.
Material Changes

This agreement allows the Company to sell shares from time to time through ordinary brokers' transactions on the Nasdaq Global Market or other permitted methods. The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under this agreement.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Offering Structure: The offering is made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-253835), originally filed in June 2022. The offering will terminate upon the sale of all shares reaching the $2,000,000 aggregate limit or earlier termination of the agreement.
Terms: Wainwright will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares based on instructions from the Company, which may include price or size limits. The Company has agreed to customary indemnification and reimbursement of specified expenses.
Risks: The filing notes that the report does not constitute an offer to sell securities in any state where such an offer would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current market price of NRXP to assess potential dilution impact if the full $2,000,000 is raised.
- Review the full text of the Sales Agreement (Exhibit 1.1) for specific termination rights and conditions.
- Monitor subsequent filings (e.g., Form 424(b) or 8-Ks) to track actual sales volume and proceeds generated under this ATM program.
- Check the Company's latest 10-Q or 10-K for current cash runway and liquidity needs, as this filing does not provide those figures.
