Equity Transactions

July 2024 Private Placement

On July 26, 2024, the Company entered into a Unit Purchase Agreement (the “Unit Purchase Agreement”) to raise $30,332,984 in aggregate gross proceeds for the Company (the “July 2024 PIPE”) before deducting $2,675,487 in placement agent fees and other expenses. All gross proceeds were received by the Company as of December 31, 2024.

Pursuant to the terms of the Unit Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to sell to PIPE Investors in the Offering, an aggregate of (x) 390,307 common share units (the “Common Share Units”), each consisting of (i) one Common Share, (ii) one Tranche A Common Share purchase warrant to purchase one Common Share, (iii) one Tranche B Common Share purchase warrant to purchase one Common Share and (iv) one Tranche C Common Share purchase warrant to purchase one Common Share (each, a “Warrant”, collectively, the “Warrants”) and, for certain investors, (y) 174,841 pre-funded units (the “Pre-Funded Units” and together with the Common Share Units, the “Units”), each consisting of (i) one Pre-Funded Warrant to purchase one Common Share (each, a “Pre-Funded Warrant”, collectively, the “Pre-Funded Warrants”, and the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants, the “2024 Warrant Shares”), (ii) one Tranche A Common Share purchase warrant to purchase one Common Share, (iii) one Tranche B Common Share purchase warrant to purchase one Common Share and (iv) one Tranche C Common Share purchase warrant to purchase one Common Share.

The purchase price for each Common Share Unit was $53.75 per Common Share Unit, and the purchase price for each Pre-Funded Unit was $53.50 per Pre-Funded Unit. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.25 per 2024 Warrant Share, are immediately exercisable and will expire when exercised in full. The Tranche A Common Share purchase warrants have an exercise price of $50.50, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $28.5 million, are exercisable immediately upon Shareholder Approval (as defined below) and will expire upon the earlier of (i) 18 months or (ii) within 60 days of the Tranche A Milestone Event (as defined below). The Tranche B Common Share purchase warrants have an exercise price of $50.50, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $28.5 million, are exercisable immediately upon Shareholder Approval (as defined below) and will expire upon the earlier of (i) 30 months or (ii) within 60 days of the Tranche B Milestone Event (as defined below). The Tranche C Common Share purchase warrants have an exercise price of $62.50, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $35.3 million, are immediately exercisable and will expire on July 31, 2029. For purposes of the foregoing, “Tranche A Milestone Event” means the public announcement via press release or the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K of 6-month data from the cohorts treated with multiple ascending doses of PMN310, and “Tranche B Milestone Event” means the public announcement via press release or the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K of 12-month data from the cohorts treated with multiple ascending doses of PMN310. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), the exercise of the Tranche A and Tranche B Common Share purchase warrants is subject to shareholder approval (“Shareholder Approval”). The Company agreed to convene a shareholders’ meeting, or otherwise obtain written Shareholder Approval, on or before 90 days following the Closing Date, to obtain such approval.

The Tranche A and Tranche B Warrants (“AB Warrants”) were classified as liabilities (“AB Warrant Liability”) and recorded at fair value utilizing level 3 inputs at issuance due to the requirement for Shareholder Approval. Under the applicable accounting guidance, the requirement for Shareholder Approval precludes a financial instrument from equity classification, as it cannot be considered indexed to the Company's own stock.  The preclusion is because of the potential of the settlement amount differing than a fixed for fixed option on the Company's shares. The fair value of the AB Warrant Liability at issuance was determined to be $31,182,033, calculated using a Black Scholes calculation on July 26, 2024 with the following weighted average assumptions: share price of $50.50, the most currently available Nasdaq Official Closing Price for the Company’s Common Shares when the Company entered into the purchase agreements, exercise price of $50.50, volatility of 102.5%, risk-free rate of 4.34%, and a term of 2.1 years.

The Company incurred offering costs totaling $2,675,487 that consisted of placement agent fees and direct incremental legal, advisory, accounting and filing fees relating to the July 2024 PIPE, resulting in net cash proceeds of $27,657,497. The value of the AB Warrants exceeded the net proceeds received. As a result, the entire proceeds and offering costs were allocated to the AB Warrant liability, and also resulted in a loss on issuance of common shares, warrants, and pre-funded warrants of $3,524,535, which was recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations.

On October 23, 2024, Shareholder Approval for the AB Warrants was obtained during the Company’s Special Meeting of Shareholders. Following Shareholder Approval, the Company determined that the AB Warrants met the criteria for equity classification. The Company re-measured the fair value of the AB Warrant Liability at October 23, 2024 to $8,689,149, calculated using a Black Scholes calculation with the following weighted average assumptions: volatility of 100.9%, share price of $23.75, exercise price of $50.50, risk-free rate of 4.10%, and a term of 1.9 years. The change in fair value of the AB Warrant Liability of $22,492,884 was recorded in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations and the remaining fair value of $8,689,149 was reclassified from liability to additional paid-in-capital in the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2025, 942,510 warrants issued with the July 2024 PIPE are outstanding (314,170 each from Tranche A, Tranche B, and Tranche C).

A summary of warrant liability activity, which is based on level 3 inputs, for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

July 2025 Registered Direct Offering

On July 22, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement relating to the issuance and sale of a pre-funded warrant to purchase 39,389 Common Shares (the “RD Pre-funded Warrant”) to such investor (the “RD Offering”). The RD Pre-funded Warrant was sold at an offering price of $20.31 per share, which represents, if it were applicable, the per share offering price for the Common Shares of the Company, less a $0.0025 per share exercise price for such Pre-funded Warrant.  The gross proceeds from the RD Offering were $800,000 before deducting offering expenses of $102,342.

July 22, 2025 Exercise of Discounted Warrants and PIPE

On July 22, 2025, the Company accepted a discounted warrant exercise offer from a healthcare-focused institutional investor for certain July 2024 PIPE warrants (“July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise”). Related to the July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “July 22, 2025 PIPE”) with the same existing healthcare-focused institutional investor. The Company raised $9,199,765 in aggregate gross proceeds from the July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise and July 22, 2025 PIPE before deducting $808,738 in transaction costs paid by the Company.

In the July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise, the Company issued 336,449 Common Shares in exchange for the exercise of 336,449 of the July 2024 PIPE warrants (112,150 each from Tranche A, Tranche B, and Tranche C) for $20.31 per warrant. The Company determined that discounting the exercise price represented a modification of the July 2024 PIPE warrants. In accordance with ASC815 – Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), the Company accounted for the incremental fair value of the modification as the difference between the pre-modification fair value and the post-modification fair value of the July 2024 PIPE warrants, as calculated using Black-Scholes. The modification date incremental fair value of $930,841 was initially recorded as a deferred financing cost, as the discount was directly attributable to a proposed offering, and was subsequently recognized as an equity issuance cost upon the closing of the July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise and July 22, 2025 PIPE. The range of valuation inputs used in the pre-modification fair value Black Scholes calculation of the July 2024 PIPE warrants included a share price of $14.70, exercise prices of $50.50-$62.50, time to maturity of 0.53-4.02 years, risk free rate of 3.9%-4.3%, and annualized volatility of 106.5%. The post-modification fair value Black Scholes calculation used the same fair value inputs as the pre-modification fair value calculation apart from the modified exercise price of $20.31.

Pursuant to the terms of the July 22, 2025 PIPE, the Company agreed to sell a warrant to purchase 504,673 Common Shares (the “July 22, 2025 Warrant”). The July 22, 2025 Warrant was sold to the investor at an offering price of $4.69 per share and has an exercise price of $31.25 per share.

The July 22, 2025 Warrant is immediately exercisable and will expire five years after the date of issuance. The holder of the July 22, 2025 Warrant may not exercise it if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

The Company determined the July 22, 2025 Warrant met the permanent equity criteria classification. The July 22, 2025 Warrant is classified as a component of permanent equity because it is a freestanding financial instrument, is immediately exercisable, does not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permits the holders to receive a fixed number of common shares upon exercise. In addition, the July 22, 2025 Warrant does not provide any guarantee of value or return. The Company used a Black-Scholes calculation to determine the fair value of the July 22, 2025 Warrant at issuance and allocated a share of the net proceeds based on the relative fair value of the July 22, 2025 Warrant. Net proceeds allocated to the July 22, 2025 Warrant were $4,284,557, with the remaining net proceeds of $4,106,470 allocated to the Common Shares issued in the July 22, 2025 Discounted Exercise. The aggregate net proceeds of $8,391,027 are recorded in additional paid-in-capital. The valuation inputs used in the Black Scholes calculation of the July 22, 2025 Warrant at issuance included a share price of $14.70, exercise price of $31.25, time to maturity of 5 years, risk free rate of 3.9%, and annualized volatility of 106.5%.

July 28, 2025 Exercise of Discounted Warrants and PIPE

On July 28, 2025, the Company accepted discounted warrant exercise offers for certain July 2024 PIPE warrants (“July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise”). Related to the July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise, the Company also entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “July 28, 2025 PIPE”) with the same existing investors. The Company raised $11,623,047 in aggregate gross proceeds from the July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise and July 28, 2025 PIPE before deducting $478,580 in transaction costs paid by the Company.

In the July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise, the Company issued 416,436 Common Shares in exchange for the exercise of 416,436 of the July 2024 PIPE warrants (138,812 each from Tranche A, Tranche B, and Tranche C) for $20.88 per warrant. The Company determined that discounting the exercise price represented a modification of the July 2024 PIPE warrants. In accordance with ASC 815, the Company accounted for the incremental fair value of the modification as the difference between the pre-modification fair value and the post-modification fair value of the July 2024 PIPE warrants, as calculated using Black-Scholes. The modification date incremental fair value of $1,794,146 was initially recorded as a deferred financing cost, as the discount was directly attributable to a proposed offering, and was subsequently recognized as an equity issuance cost upon the closing of the July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise and July 28, 2025 PIPE. The range of valuation inputs used in the pre-modification fair value Black Scholes calculation of the July 2024 PIPE warrants included a share price of $20.88, exercise prices of $50.50-$62.50, time to maturity of 0.52-4.01 years, risk free rate of 3.9%-4.3%, and annualized volatility of 107.4%. The post-modification fair value Black Scholes calculation used the same fair value inputs as the pre-modification fair value calculation apart from the modified exercise price of $20.88.

Pursuant to the terms of the July 28, 2025 PIPE, the Company agreed to sell warrants to purchase 624,654 Common Shares (the “July 28, 2025 Warrants”). The July 28, 2025 Warrants were sold to the investor at an offering price of $0.1875 per share and has an exercise price of $31.25 per share.

The July 28, 2025 Warrant are immediately exercisable and will expire five years after the date of issuance. Certain holders of the July 28, 2025 Warrants may not exercise it if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

The Company determined the July 28, 2025 Warrants met the permanent equity criteria classification. The July 28, 2025 Warrants are classified as a component of permanent equity because they are a freestanding financial instrument, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permit the holders to receive a fixed number of common shares upon exercise. In addition, the July 28, 2025 Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. To determine the fair value of the July 28, 2025 Warrants at issuance, the Company used a Black-Scholes model and allocated a share of the net proceeds based on the relative fair value of the July 28, 2025 Warrants. Net proceeds allocated to the July 28, 2025 Warrants were $5,885,032, with the remaining net proceeds of $5,259,435 allocated to the Common Shares issued in the July 28, 2025 Discounted Exercise. The aggregate net proceeds of $11,144,467 are recorded in additional paid-in-capital. The valuation inputs used in the Black Scholes calculation of the July 28, 2025 Warrant at issuance included a share price of $20.88, exercise price of $31.25, time to maturity of 5 years, risk free rate of 4.0%, and annualized volatility of 107.4

November 2025 Reverse Share Split

On November 28, 2025, the Company filed articles of amendment to effect a one-for-twenty-five reverse share split of its Common Shares (the “Reverse Share Split”). As a result of the Reverse Share Split, every 25 Common Shares issued or outstanding were automatically reclassified into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable new Common Share, subject to the treatment of fractional shares as described below, without any action on the part of the holders. Proportional adjustments were made to the number of Common Shares awarded and available for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans, as well as the exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of the Company’s outstanding stock options and other equity securities under the Company’s equity incentive plans. All outstanding warrants were also adjusted in accordance with their terms, which resulted, among other changes to the warrant terms, in proportionate adjustments being made to the number of shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants and to the exercise prices of such warrants. The Common Shares outstanding following the Reverse Share Split remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Share Split did not affect the number of authorized Common Shares or the par value of the Common Shares. All share and per-share amounts have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Share Split.
