• New At-The-Market (ATM) Sales Agreement

  Elicio Therapeutics, Inc. entered into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc., JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. to sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock with an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million.

• Termination of Prior ATM Program

  The company terminated a previous Capital on Demand Sales Agreement with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC, which allowed for the sale of up to $40.0 million in common stock, effective March 16, 2026. This program was originally established on June 3, 2024.

• Critical Financing for Operations

  This new capital raise follows the company's recent 10-K filing on March 12, 2026, which disclosed a 'going concern' warning and a short cash runway, making this financing mechanism crucial for continued operations and clinical development.

This 8-K filing formalizes Elicio Therapeutics' strategy to address its 'going concern' warning and short cash runway, as previously highlighted in its 10-K filing on March 12, 2026. The new At-The-Market (ATM) program allows the company to raise up to $100 million by selling common stock from time to time. This is a substantial potential capital infusion, representing a significant portion of the company's market capitalization, and is crucial for extending its operational runway. Concurrently, the company terminated an older, smaller $40 million ATM program, streamlining its financing efforts. While highly dilutive for existing shareholders, securing this financing mechanism is a critical step for the company's survival and ability to fund its ongoing clinical development. Investors should monitor the actual utilization of this ATM program and its impact on the company's cash position and share count.
