Analysis · ADIL · Life Sciences
Adial's stockholders approved increasing authorized shares from 100 million to 500 million, clearing the way for the massive dilution already quantified in the Azora reverse merger proxy. The vote also greenlit a new 2026 equity incentive plan with a 3.08 million share reserve and an employee stock purchase plan with 307,815 shares. Four remaining proposals — including the reverse merger itself — were adjourned to October 1 pending Nasdaq approval, keeping the company's survival financing in limbo.
