Annovis Bio has finalized an underwritten public offering, raising approximately $13.8 million in net proceeds. This capital infusion is crucial for the company's continued clinical development and general operations, especially given its recent "going concern" warning and precarious cash position. However, the offering is highly dilutive, adding 7.9 million shares and warrants for another 7.1 million shares, representing a significant increase in outstanding shares at a price below the current market value.
