Aethlon Medical has amended its Securities Purchase Agreement and Pre-Funded Common Stock Purchase Warrant, removing the requirement for shareholder approval (under Nasdaq 5635) for the pre-funded warrants to become exercisable. This change, effective January 22, 2026, means these warrants are now immediately exercisable, accelerating potential dilution. This follows recent filings, including a DEF 14A on January 16, 2026, which sought shareholder approval for proposals enabling over 200% dilution, and an S-1 registration on January 7, 2026, for the resale of over 2 million shares underlying various warrants. The removal of this shareholder safeguard for pre-funded warrants is a significant negative development, as it allows for immediate dilution without prior shareholder consent, intensifying the dilution risk for existing investors.
