Cash bridge
| Investor metric | Value | Read-through |
|---|---|---|
| Warrants per new ADS | 1.5× | Large embedded dilution incentive |
| Simplified fully diluted pool | ≈8.0M ADS equivalents | Existing base becomes ≈54% |
| Raise / March cash | ≈22% | Meaningful but not transformative |
| Raise / Q1 operating cash use | ≈1.6× | About 1.6 quarters before fees |
| Expected close / Q2 report | Aug. 31, 2026 | Financing and updated cash meet |
Funding benefit
The raise supports GLIX1 development and working capital. It supplements a cash balance previously guided into the first half of 2027.
Dilution test
New and amended warrants cluster at $2.78. Exercises can add capital, but they may cap upside and reduce each existing holder’s ownership.
