Brainstorm Cell Therapeutics Inc. has finalized a $1 million private placement, previously announced in principle on February 13, 2026. The terms include the sale of common stock and pre-funded warrants at $0.60 per share, a discount to the current market price of $0.6995. Additionally, investors will receive common stock purchase warrants exercisable for 120% of the purchased shares/pre-funded warrants, with an exercise price of $1.00. The financing will occur in up to eight closings, with $125,000 already received and the remaining $875,000 to be funded at the investor's discretion by September 25, 2026. The proceeds are designated for working capital. This highly dilutive capital raise follows a pattern of similar financings, including a $279,000 convertible note issuance in January 2026, highlighting the company's ongoing need for capital. Concurrently, the Board approved a significant increase of 5,500,000 shares to the company's stock incentive plan pool, bringing the total available shares to 8,406,666, which represents substantial potential future dilution for existing shareholders.
