Enables Significant Future Capital Raises

Direct Response to Going Concern and Delisting
This proposal follows the company's 10-K filing on March 26, 2026, which disclosed 'substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern' and a Nasdaq delisting notice for failing to meet the minimum bid price requirement.

Potential for Extreme Dilution

Analysis · BRTX · Industrial Applications And Services
This preliminary proxy statement reveals BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. is seeking shareholder approval to dramatically increase its authorized common stock from 75 million to 1.5 billion shares. This massive increase, representing a potential dilution of over 5700% relative to current outstanding shares, is a critical step for the company to raise capital. The filing explicitly states the intent to issue shares for general corporate purposes, including funding clinical trials for BRTX-100 and other R&D, and for working capital. This move directly addresses the 'substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern' disclosed in the recent 10-K filing on March 26, 2026, and the Nasdaq delisting notice received on the same date. While highly dilutive, this authorization is essential for the company's survival and to capitalize on the recent positive Phase 2 data for BRTX-100 announced on March 30, 2026. Investors should anticipate significant future dilution as the company executes capital raises enabled by this authorization.
