The public offering price was $3.92499 per share of Common Stock plus one accompanying Common Warrant, and $3.925 per Pre-Funded Warrant plus one accompanying Common Warrant. Proceeds are designated for general corporate purposes.
Material Changes and Agreements
The filing reports several material definitive agreements and changes:
- Securities Purchase Agreement: Entered into with a single institutional investor. Includes a 30-day lock-up on new issuances and a 6-month restriction on Variable Rate Transactions.
- Lock-Up Agreements: Executive officers, directors, and 5%+ stockholders are restricted from selling securities for 90 days from the closing date.
- Warrant Amendments: Existing warrants issued in September, October, and December 2024 were amended to set the exercise price at $3.80. This amendment is subject to stockholder approval. If approval is not obtained within six months of issuance, the exercise price will automatically reduce to the Nasdaq Minimum Price.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
The filing does not provide specific forward-looking guidance, revenue projections, or management commentary on operational outlook beyond the use of proceeds for general corporate purposes. Key contingencies include:
- The requirement for stockholder approval to finalize the exercise price of the amended warrants.
- The potential automatic reduction of the warrant exercise price to the Minimum Price if stockholder approval is not secured within the specified timeframe.
- Dilution risks associated with the immediate exercisability of pre-funded warrants and the potential exercise of common warrants.
Investor Verification Checklist
