In August 2023, the Company sold and issued 3.0 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate cash purchase price of $1.2 million. During March 2024, holders of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock elected to convert 3.0 million shares of Series A Preferred into 300,000 shares of Common Stock.

Common Stock

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company has authorized 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

On January 2, 2024, the Company issued 143,648 shares of Common Stock as payment for the $0.4 million minimum payment to Streeterville related to principal and interest payments on the Streeterville Note.

 

From February 20, 2024 to July 29, 2024, the Company announced that it entered into multiple at-the-market purchase agreements (the “ATM Purchase Agreements”) subject to standard closing conditions where accredited investors purchased 385,515 shares of unregistered Common Stock at a range of $2.42 – $7.10 per share. On April 15, 2024, the Company increased the maximum aggregate offering amount of the shares of Common Stock issuable under that certain at-the-market offering agreement, dated August 14, 2023 (the “Offering Agreement”), with H.C. Wainwright & Co., and filed a prospectus supplement (the “Current Prospectus Supplement”) under the Offering Agreement for an aggregate of $4.9 million. The Company suspended the at-the-market offering from August 14, 2024 through April 17, 2025. On April 17, 2025, the Company reinstated the at-the-market offering and increased the maximum aggregate offering amount and filed a prospectus supplement under the Offering Agreement for an aggregate of $20,000,000. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,350,788 shares of its Common Stock shares for approximately $3.7 million, net of less than $0.1 million in transaction costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,749,866 shares of its Common Stock shares for approximately $4.7 million, net of $0.1 million in transaction costs.

 

On February 27, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “February Underwriting Agreement”) with EF Hutton LLC (the “Representative”), as the representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “February Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering (the “February 2024 Public Offering”) of 500,000 shares (the “February Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock (the “February Shares”). The public offering price for each share of Common Stock was $3.00, and the February Underwriters purchased the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the February Underwriting Agreement at a price for each share of Common Stock of $2.76. Pursuant to the February Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Representative a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 75,000 shares (the “February Option Shares”) of the Common Stock on the same terms as the February Shares sold in the February 2024 Public Offering (the “February Over-Allotment Option”). On February 28, 2024, the February 2024 Public Offering closed (the “February Closing Date”). The aggregate net cash proceeds to the Company from the February 2024 Offering proceeds were approximately $1.3 million after offering costs of approximately $0.4 million. On March 5, 2024, the February Underwriters of the previously announced underwritten public offering of the Company exercised their option in accordance with the February Underwriting Agreement, dated February 27, 2024, by and between the Company and the Representative, as representative of the several underwriters named therein, to purchase up to an additional 75,000 shares of the Common Stock, at a public offering price of $3.00 per share (the “February Overallotment Exercise”). The February Overallotment Exercise closed on March 6, 2024. The aggregate net cash proceeds to the Company from the February Overallotment Exercise were approximately $0.2 million. The Company accrued additional offering costs of approximately $0.2 million.

 

On February 29, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with an investor providing for the issuance and sale of 270,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to 270,000 shares of Common Stock (the “February Warrants”) at a price of $3.80 per share of Common Stock and accompanying warrant, which represents a 26.7% premium to the offering price in February 2024 Public Offering. The Common Stock and the February Warrants were offered pursuant to a private placement (the “February 2024 Private Placement”) under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The aggregate net cash proceeds to the Company from the February 2024 Private Placement were approximately $1.0 million.

 

On April 18, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement (the “April Underwriting Agreement”) with the Representative, as the representative of the several underwriters named therein (the “April Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering (the “April 2024 Public Offering”) of 607,000 shares (the “April Shares”) of Common Stock. The public offering price for each share of Common Stock was $3.30. Pursuant to the April Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Representative a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 91,050 shares (the “April Option Shares”) of the Common Stock on the same terms as the April Shares sold in the April 2024 Public Offering (the “April Over-Allotment Option”). On April 19, 2024, the Offering closed (the “April Closing Date”). Net proceeds from the April 2024 Public Offering were approximately $1.6 million after offering costs of approximately $0.4 million. On May 23, 2024, the April Underwriters of the previously announced underwritten public offering of the Company exercised their option in accordance with the April Underwriting Agreement, dated April 18, 2024, by and between the Company and the Representative, as representative of the several underwriters named therein, to purchase up to an additional 91,050 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at the public offering price of $3.30 per share (the “April Overallotment Exercise”). The April Over-Allotment Exercise was exercised in full and closed on May 23, 2024. The net cash proceeds to the Company from the April Overallotment Exercise were approximately $0.2 million which include offering costs of less than $0.1 million.

 

On August 28, 2024, the Company issued 20,000 shares of Common Stock in relation to consulting services performed by a third party. The fair value of the Common Stock on the date of issuance was less than $0.1 million.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2024, Anson converted $4.2 million of principal and interest of the First Tranche Note into Common Stock, resulting in the issuances of 3,676,796 shares of Common Stock valued at $5.5 million based on the market price of the Common Stock at the date of Common Stock issuance resulting in a loss on conversion of $1.3 million (see Note 10). 

 

On January 27, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “First RD Purchase Agreement”) with Anson for the sale by the Company of 1,215,278 shares (the “First RD Shares”) of Common Stock to the Investors, at a purchase price of $2.88 per share, in a registered direct offering (the “First Registered Direct Offering”). Concurrently with the sale of the First RD Shares, pursuant to the First RD Purchase Agreement the Company also sold to the investors unregistered Common Stock purchase warrants (the “First RD Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,215,278 shares of Common Stock (the “First RD Warrant Shares”), in a private placement. Subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, the First RD Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price equal to $2.88 per share of Common Stock, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the First RD Warrants. The closing of the sales of these securities under the First RD Purchase Agreement occurred on or about January 29, 2025 (the “First RD Closing Date”), resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $3.255 million after transaction costs. The First RD Warrants are exercisable for five years from the First RD Closing Date. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the transactions for general corporate purposes, including the funding of certain capital expenditures.

 

On or around January 27, 2025, the Company and Anson entered into a consent and waiver agreement related to the First RD Purchase Agreement and the Notes. Under this agreement, the investors agreed to waive certain rights and restrictions, including their right to participate in certain future financings, restrictions on the Company issuing specific equity securities, and any potential liquidated damages under the Registration Rights Agreement dated August 14, 2024. These waivers are effective through and expired as of March 31, 2025.

 

As consideration for these waivers, the Company agreed to issue additional compensation to the investors if the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s Common Stock is lower than the original purchase price at the time investors submit their first conversion notice for Anson Notes issued in the Second or Third Closing. This compensation includes additional shares of Common Stock (the “Consideration Shares”) and warrants to purchase an equal number of shares (the “Consideration Warrants”). The exercise price of the warrants is based on a VWAP-Based Adjustment, calculated as the greater of (a) the VWAP on the trading day before the conversion notice, or (b) 80% of the closing price on the day before the Registered Direct Offering. As of September 30, 2025, the obligation under this provision has been fully satisfied. On March 20, 2025, following the conversion of less than $0.1 million of the Third Tranche Note into 5,463 shares of Common Stock, the Company issued 303,819 shares of Common Stock Consideration Shares and 303,819 of Consideration Warrants to Anson in accordance with the terms of the CWA.

 

The gross proceeds to the Company from the offerings were approximately $3.5 million, before deducting offering expenses of $0.2 million and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the First RD Warrants. As discussed above, on January 29, 2025, in conjunction with the issuance of the First RD Shares, the Company issued First RD Warrants to purchase up to 1,215,278 shares of the Company’s Common Stock which were classified as a liability. The First RD Warrants have an exercise price of $2.88 per share and have a contractual term of five years expiring on January 29, 2030. The measurement of fair value of the First RD Warrants were determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $2.07, exercise price of $2.88, term of five years, volatility of 115.8%, and risk-free rate of 4.00%). The grant date fair value of these First RD Warrants was estimated to be $3.983 million on January 29, 2025. As the fair value of the liabilities exceeded the net proceeds received of $3.255 million, the Company recognized the excess of the fair value over the net proceeds received of $3.255 million as a loss upon issuance of First RD Shares of $0.7 million which is included in other expense (income) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Anson converted $1.3 million of principal and interest of the First Tranche Note into Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of 1,004,055 shares of Common Stock valued at $2.9 million based on the market price of the Common Stock at the date of the Common Stock issuance resulting in a loss on conversion of $1.6 million (See Note 10).

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Anson converted less than $0.1 million of principal and interest of the Third Tranche Note into Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of 5,463 shares of Common Stock valued at less than $0.1 million based on the market price of the Common Stock at the date of the Common Stock issuance resulting in a loss on conversion of less than $0.1 million (See Note 10).

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, Anson converted $4.1 million of principal and interest of the Third Tranche Note into Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of 1,879,406 shares of Common Stock valued at $6.0 million based on the market price of the Common Stock at the date of the Common Stock issuance resulting in a loss on conversion of $1.9 million (See Note 10).

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, Anson converted $1.4 million of principal and interest of the Third Tranche Note into Common Stock, resulting in the issuance of 877,193 shares of Common Stock valued at $2.2 million based on the market price of the Common Stock at the date of the Common Stock issuance resulting in a loss on conversion of $0.8 million (See Note 10).

 

On March 20, 2025, following the conversion of less than $0.1 million of the Third Tranche Note into 5,463 shares of Common Stock, the Company issued 303,819 shares of Common Stock Consideration Shares and 303,819 of Consideration Warrants to Anson in accordance with the terms of the CWA. As a result of this adjustment, the exercise price of the RD Warrants was updated to $2.30 as of March 20, 2025. Upon conversion or extinguishment, ASC 470-50-40-2 requires that any difference between the carrying amount of the debt and the fair value of consideration transferred be recognized as a gain or loss in the statement of operations. The Consideration Shares, being equity-classified, are recognized at fair value with credit to Common Stock and additional paid in capital. The Consideration Warrants, liability-classified under ASC 815-40, were initially recognized at fair value, with changes in fair value subsequently recognized through earnings. In accordance with the CWA, the Company recorded loss on issuance of the Consideration shares and the Consideration Warrants in total of $1.28 million recognized within other expense (income) during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, within accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

On May 15, 2025, the Company granted 75,000 shares of fully vested Common Stock to a vendor in accordance with the vendor agreement. The value of the fully vested shares granted was determined by the value of the stock on the quoted trading price of $2.08 and an aggregate of approximately $0.2 million was recorded as expense within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

On August 18, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Second RD Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors for the sale of an aggregate of 3,959,999 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at a purchase price of $1.65 per share (the “Second Registered Direct Offering”). The Second Registered Direct Offering closed on August 18, 2025, and resulted in net proceeds of approximately $6.2 million, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering-related expenses of approximately $0.3 million. Concurrently with the execution of the Second RD Purchase Agreement, the purchasers of the Second Registered Direct Offering entered into Lock-Up Agreements with the Company, pursuant to which they agreed not to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the shares of Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions, without the prior written consent of the Company until August 19, 2026.

 

On July 17, 2025, the Company granted 150,000 shares of fully vested Common Stock to a vendor in accordance with the vendor agreement. The value of the fully vested shares granted was determined by the value of the stock on the quoted trading price of $3.00 and an aggregate of approximately $0.45 million was recorded as expense within the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

On September 30, 2025, the 1,870,960 shares underlying the Anson Warrants, that were issued with the original convertible notes, were exercised for cash proceeds of $3.09 million. The fair value of the exercised warrants, which were initially recorded as warrant liability, was determined to be $5.37 million as of the exercise date, resulting in a gain of $5.37 million upon settlement of these warrant liabilities exercises, representing the difference between the fair value of the exercised Anson warrants and the cash proceeds received. Because the exercise proceeds were received subsequent to September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a subscription receivable asset of $3.09 million as of September 30, 2025. The gain on Anson warrants exercised was recognized within other expense (income) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

Warrants

 

Substitute Warrants Liability

 

On May 24, 2021, the Company completed the merger (“Merger”) under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 13, 2020, as amended, among the Company (formerly Big Rock Partners Acquisition Corp.), NeuroRx, Inc., and Big Rock Merger Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of our company. In the transaction, Big Rock Merger Corp. merged with and into NeuroRx, with NeuroRx continuing as the surviving entity. In connection with the Merger in 2021, each warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock of NRx that was outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the effective time (whether vested or unvested) was assumed by Big Rock Partners Acquisition Corp. (“BRPA”) and converted into a warrant, based on the exchange ratio (of 0.316), that will continue to be governed by substantially the same terms and conditions, including vesting, as were applicable to the former warrant (the “Substitute Warrants”). There were 3,792,970 warrants outstanding and unexercised at the effective time. As these Substitute Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in FASB ASC Topic 815, based on provisions in the warrant agreement related to the Earnout Shares Milestone and the Earnout Cash Milestone and the contingent right to receive additional shares for these provisions, the Substitute Warrants were recorded as derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the Merger) and at each reporting date in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in the period of change. Refer to Note 14 for further discussion of fair value measurement of the warrant liabilities.

 

Assumed Public Warrants Equity

 

Prior to the Merger, the Company had 3,450,000 warrants outstanding (the “Public Warrants”) to purchase up to 345,000 shares of Common Stock. Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-tenth share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $115 per share. The Public Warrants became exercisable at the effective time of the Merger and expire five years after the effective time on or earlier upon their redemption or liquidation of the Company.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 no Public Warrants were exercised. The outstanding balance of these public warrants remains in equity. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 3,448,856 Public Warrants outstanding to purchase up to 344,886 shares of Common Stock.

 

Assumed Private Placement Warrants Liabilities

 

Prior to the Merger, the Company had outstanding 136,250 Private Placement Warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) to purchase up to 13,625 shares of Common Stock. The Private Placement Warrants are not indexed to the Company’s common shares in the manner contemplated by FASB ASC Topic 815-40-15 because the holder of the instrument is not an input into the pricing of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares. The Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants as derivative liabilities in its condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company measures the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants at the end of each reporting period and recognizes changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s statements of operations for the current period.

 

The Company recognized a change in fair value of the Private Placement Warrants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 in the accompanying statement of operations. See Note 14 for discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company’s warrant liabilities.

 

Investor Warrants Equity

 

As discussed above, on February 28, 2024, in conjunction with the sale of 270,000 shares of the Common Stock, the Company issued  February 2024 Warrants to purchase up to 270,000 shares of Common Stock which were classified in stockholder’s equity. The February 2024 Warrants have an exercise price of $3.80 per share, are initially exercisable beginning six months following the date of issuance and will expire five years from the date of issuance. The measurement of fair value was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $3.59, exercise price of $3.80, term of 5 years, volatility of 178.10%, risk-free rate of 4.26%, and expected dividend rate of 0%).

On February 28, 2024, the Company issued to the Representative the Underwriter’s Warrant to purchase up to 25,000 shares of Common Stock. The Underwriter’s Warrant is exercisable six months following the date of the Underwriting Agreement and terminates on the five-year anniversary of the date of the Underwriting Agreement. The measurement of fair value was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $3.05, exercise price of $3.30, term of 5 years, volatility of 178.10%, risk-free rate of 4.26%, and expected dividend rate of 0%).

On March 5, 2024, the Company issued Underwriter’s Warrant to purchase up to 3,750 shares of Common Stock in relation to the exercise of the February Over-Allotment Option. The measurement of fair value was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $3.05, exercise price of $3.30, term of 5 years, volatility of 178.10%, risk-free rate of 4.12%, and expected dividend rate of 0%). The allocated fair value of the Underwriter's Warrants on the grant date was less than $0.1 million and is recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital.

 

On April 19, 2024, the Company issued to the Representative the April Underwriter Warrant to purchase up to 30,350 shares of Common Stock (the “April Underwriter Warrant”). The April Underwriter Warrant is exercisable for six months following the date of the Underwriting Agreement and terminates on the five-year anniversary of the date of the Underwriting Agreement. The measurement of fair value was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $3.04, exercise price of $3.63, term of 5 years, volatility of 178.10%, risk-free rate of 4.66%, and expected dividend rate of 0%). The allocated fair value of the April Underwriter Warrant on the grant date was less than $0.1 million and is recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital.

 

On May 23, 2024, the Company issued Underwriter’s Warrant to purchase up to 4,553 shares of Common Stock in relation to the exercise of the April Over-Allotment Option.

Alvogen Warrants Equity

 

In conjunction with the amended Licensing Agreement with Alvogen discussed in Note 9, on February 7, 2024 the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 419,598 shares of Common Stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $4.00 per share, are exercisable immediately following the date of issuance, will expire three years from the date of issuance, and may also be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no effective registration statement available for the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the warrants. The warrants are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation of 4.99% post-exercise, with the exception that the beneficial ownership limitation may be waived up to a maximum of 9.99% at the election of the holder, with not less than 61 days prior notice. The measurement of fair value was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $4.10, exercise price of $4.00, term of 3 years, volatility of 138.0%, risk-free rate of 4.2%, and expected dividend rate of 0.0%). The fair value of the warrants on the grant date was $1.3 million and was recorded within additional paid-in capital as of March 31, 2024. Upon termination of the License Agreement on June 21, 2024, the offsetting amount recorded within additional paid-in capital as an unfunded stock subscription receivable was expensed to research and development.

 

Anson Warrants Liability

 

The Anson Warrants, originally issued in the Anson Purchase Agreement, are recognized as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. The Company concluded liability classification was appropriate as certain settlement features included in the Anson Warrants are not indexed to the Company's own stock, and therefore preclude equity classification. Accordingly, the Company recognizes the warrant instruments as liabilities at fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. The liabilities are subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercise or expiration, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Anson Warrants are measured at fair value using a Black-Scholes model. Warrant liabilities are classified as current liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. On August 14, 2024, in conjunction with the issuance of the First Tranche Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,349,305 shares of the Common Stock which were classified as a liability. The warrants have an exercise price of $2.4168 per share, subject to adjustment or other settlement provisions, and have a contractual term of five years expiring on August 14, 2029. The measurement of fair value of the Anson Warrants were determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $1.86, exercise price of $2.42, term of five years, volatility of 122%, and risk-free rate of 3.67%, and expected dividend rate of 0%). The grant date fair value of these Anson Warrants was estimated to be $2.1 million on August 14, 2024.

 

On October 10, 2024, in conjunction with the issuance of the Second Tranche Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,846,128 shares of Common Stock which were classified as a liability. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.7664 per share, subject to adjustment or other settlement provisions, and have a contractual term of five years expiring on October 10, 2029. The measurement of fair value of the Investor Warrants was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $1.38, exercise price of $1.76, term of five years, volatility of 105%, and risk-free rate of 3.91%, and expected dividend rate of 0%). The grant date fair value of these Second Tranche Investor Warrants was estimated to be $1.9 million on October 10, 2024.

 

On January 28, 2025, in conjunction with the issuance of the Third Tranche Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 862,699 shares of Common Stock which were classified as a liability (See Note 14). The warrants had an initial exercise price of $3.78 per share, subject to adjustment or other settlement provisions, and have a contractual term of five years expiring on January 28, 2030. The measurement of fair value of the Investor Warrants was determined using a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $3.55, exercise price of $3.78, term of five years, volatility of 113%, risk-free rate of 4.33%, and expected dividend rate of 0%). The grant date fair value of these Third Tranche Investor Warrants was estimated to be $2.5 million on January 28, 2025.

 

In connection with the Second RD Purchase Agreement, and pursuant to the full ratchet anti-dilution provisions contained in the Anson financing agreements, the exercise price of all outstanding Common Stock purchase warrants issued on August 14, 2024, October 10, 2024, January 28, 2025, and January 29, 2025 (collectively, the “Anson Warrants”) were each adjusted to $1.65 per share. In addition, under the full ratchet provision of the warrants’ anti-dilution provision, the number of shares underlying the Anson Warrants was increased by an aggregate of 1,870,960 shares of common stock. The effect of the full ratchet trigger was $5.7 million and is reflected as part of the change in fair value of warrant liabilities on the statement of operations.

 

The holders of Anson Notes and Anson Warrants, in accordance with the an agreement entered into with Anson on September 30, 2025, agreed to, among other things, i) certain trading volume limitations, and ii) a partial exercise of previously issued Anson Warrants for cash. Specifically, if the closing stock price of the Company’s common stock as reported on the Principal Market (as defined in the August 2024 Purchase Agreement) is below $3.25 on any trading day, Anson may not sell, dispose of, or otherwise transfer, in the aggregate, more than 12.5% of the composite daily trading volume of the Company’s common stock on that trading day. In accordance with the agreement,

 

1,870,960 shares of underlying Anson Warrants, which were issued with the original convertible notes, were exercised on September 30, 2025, for cash proceeds of $3.1 million. The fair value of the exercised Anson Warrants liabilities was determined to be $5.4 million as of the exercise date, resulting in a gain of $5.4 million, recorded as gain in exercise of warrant liabilities and representing the difference between the fair value of the exercised Anson Warrants and the cash proceeds received. Because the exercise proceeds were received subsequent to September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a subscription receivable asset of $3.1 million as of September 30, 2025. The gain was recognized within other (income) expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

RD Warrants – Liabilities

 

As discussed above, on January 29, 2025, in conjunction with the issuance of the First RD Shares, the Company issued the First RD Warrants to purchase up to 1,215,278 shares of Common Stock which were classified as a liability. The First RD Warrants have an exercise price of $2.88 per share and have a contractual term of five years expiring on January 29, 2030. The measurement of fair value of the First RD Warrants was determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $2.07, exercise price of $2.88, term of five years, volatility of 115.8%, and risk-free rate of 4.00%). The grant date fair value of these First RD Warrants was estimated to be $3.983 million on January 29, 2025. As the fair value of the liabilities exceeded the net proceeds received of $3.255 million, the Company recognized the excess of the fair value over the net proceeds received of $3.255 million as a loss upon issuance of the First Registered Direct Offering of $0.7 million which is included in other expense (income) in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

 

Consideration Warrants – Liability

 

As discussed above, on March 20, 2025, in conjunction with the issuance of the Consideration Shares, the Company issued Consideration Warrants to purchase up to 303,819 shares of Common Stock which were classified as a liability. The Consideration Warrants have an exercise price of $2.88 per share and have a contractual term of five years expiring on March 20, 2030.

 

The measurement of fair value of the Consideration Warrants were determined utilizing a Black-Scholes model considering all relevant assumptions current at the date of issuance (i.e., share price of $2.07, exercise price of $2.88, term of five years, volatility of 115.8%, and risk-free rate of 4.00%). The grant date fair value of these Consideration Warrants was estimated to be $0.6 million on March 20, 2025.

 

As of September 30, 2025, the aggregate fair value of all liability classified warrants, which include Substitute Warrants, Assumed Private Placement Warrants, Anson Warrants, First RD Warrants and Consideration Warrants, was $15.9 million. The Company recognized a loss on the change in fair value of the liability classified warrants for the three months ended September 30, 2025 of approximately $5.0 million, and a loss of approximately $8.5 million on the change in fair value of the liability classified warrants for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. In addition, the Company recognized a gain of $5.4 million upon the exercise of Anson Warrants, representing the difference between the fair value of the exercised warrant liabilities and the cash proceeds received. Refer to Note 14 for discussion of the fair value measurement of the Company’s warrant liabilities.
