Firefly Neuroscience has finalized a private placement, securing $2.25 million in gross proceeds by issuing 1.5 million units at $1.50 each. This capital infusion is critical for the nano-cap company's operations and runway. Each unit includes one share (or prefunded warrant) and two additional warrants with exercise prices of $1.88 and $2.50, which are above the current stock price of $1.69. The offering price of $1.50 represents an 11.2% discount to the current market price.

Furthermore, investors have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an additional $18 million in units within 30 days, which, if fully exercised, would lead to substantial further dilution. The company has agreed to file an S-1 registration statement for the resale of these securities and has implemented a 6-month lock-up period followed by a 6-month leak-out period for investors.
