Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 16, 2026, Enveric Biosciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional investors (the “Investors” and each, an “Investor”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) (i) 98,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,124,223 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Shares”), (iii) Series I warrants to purchase up to 2,222,223 shares of Common Stock (the “Series I Warrants,” and the shares issuable upon exercise thereof, the “Series I Warrant Shares”), and (iv) Series J warrants to purchase up to 2,222,223 shares of Common Stock (the “Series J Warrants,” together with the Series I Warrants, the “Warrants” and the shares issuable upon exercise thereof, the “Series J Warrant Shares,” together with the Series I Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Shares”).
The Warrants have an exercise price of $2.00 per share (subject to customary adjustments as set forth in the Warrants) and are exercisable immediately. The Series I Warrants will expire five (5) years following the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement (defined below), and the Series J Warrants will expire eighteen (18) months following the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement. The Warrants contain customary anti-dilution adjustments to the exercise price, including for share splits, share dividends, rights offering and pro rata distributions.
A holder of a Warrant will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”); provided, however, that upon 61 days’ prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, provided that in no event shall the Beneficial Ownership Limitation exceed 9.99%.
The Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at a nominal exercise price of $0.0001 per share of Common Stock at any time until all of the Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised in full. A holder may not exercise any portion of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent the holder would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. A holder may increase or decrease this percentage with respect to Pre-Funded Warrants to a percentage not in excess of 9.99%, except that any such increase shall require at least 61 days’ prior notice to the Company.
In the Purchase Agreement, we agreed not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock for a period of 30 days following the earliest of (i) the effective date of the registration statement covering the resale of the “Registrable Securities” as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement (defined below) (the “Resale Registration Statement”); (ii) the date the Shares and Warrant Shares have been sold pursuant to Rule 144; (iii) the one-year anniversary of the closing date; or (iv) the date all of the Shares and Warrant Shares are sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Private Placement under an Engagement Letter, dated as of December 8, 2024, as amended on January 14, 2025, June 5, 2025, November 10, 2025, and December 16, 2025 (the “Engagement Letter”). Pursuant to the Engagement Letter, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee of 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Private Placement, plus a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds raised in the Private Placement and reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees. The Company also issued warrants to designees of the Placement Agent (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 7.0% of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock placed in the Private Placement, equating to 155,556 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrant Shares”). The Placement Agent Warrants have substantially the same terms as the Series I Warrants, except that the Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price equal to $2.8125 per share.
The Company agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of the Placement Agent’s activities under the Engagement Letter and to contribute to payments that the Placement Agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
In connection with the Private Placement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of April 16, 2026, with each Investor, pursuant to which the Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of Shares, Pre-Funded Warrant Shares, and Warrant Shares, no later than 15 days after the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, and to use best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective as promptly as practical thereafter, and in any event no later than 45 days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement (or 75 days following the date of the Registration Rights Agreement in the event of a “full review” by the Securities and Exchange Commission).
The Private Placement closed on April 17, 2026. The gross proceeds to the Company from the Private Placement are expected to be approximately $5.0 million, before deducting placement agent fees and expenses and estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, with the potential for up to approximately $8.9 million of additional aggregate gross proceeds upon the exercise in full of the Warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds received from the Private Placement for product development, working capital and general corporate purposes.
