This 8-K details a critical financing event for Cadrenal Therapeutics, which recently disclosed a "going concern" warning and a critical cash position. The company secured approximately $2.5 million in gross proceeds by inducing a warrant holder to exercise 571,430 existing warrants at a reduced price of $4.50 per share (down from $16.50). As an inducement, the company issued new unregistered warrants for an aggregate of 1,142,860 shares, also exercisable at $4.50 per share.

The exercise price of $4.50 is slightly above the current market price of $4.36, which is a modest positive signal for the capital raise.
