• Prior Financials Restated Due to Material Weakness

  The company restated its unaudited financial statements for the quarters ended June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025, due to a material weakness in internal controls related to accounting for complex financial transactions (Greenshoe Rights).

• Nasdaq Delisting Risk Persists

  GT Biopharma received a Nasdaq notification on November 20, 2025, for failing to meet the $1 minimum bid price requirement, with a compliance deadline of May 19, 2026.

  The company has a committed equity facility for up to $20 million at 93% of VWAP and previously issued Series L Preferred Stock with full-ratchet anti-dilution, which saw its conversion price adjusted from $2.043 to $0.5319 per share. Outstanding warrants represent potential dilution of nearly 200% of current shares.

GT Biopharma's annual report reveals severe financial distress, with both management and its independent auditor expressing substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. This is compounded by a material weakness in internal controls that led to the restatement of prior quarterly financial statements. The company also faces a Nasdaq delisting risk due to its stock price falling below the $1 minimum bid requirement. While the company has made some clinical progress with IND clearances for GTB-3650 and GTB-5550, its financing activities, including a committed equity facility and Series L Preferred Stock with full-ratchet anti-dilution, indicate a reliance on highly dilutive capital raises. The potential dilution from outstanding warrants alone is nearly 200% of current shares, signaling significant future shareholder value erosion.
