Summary
iSpecimen priced a $5 million public offering at $1.30 per share, a 28% discount to yesterday's close of $1.81. The deal includes pre-funded warrants and follows a series of dilutive capital raises amid severe cash burn. Proceeds will cover liabilities, potential acquisitions, and working capital. The company is fighting for survival after an 85% revenue drop and a going concern warning. This offering, upsized from the $4 million filed in June, adds to the overhang from the S-3 resale of 101 million shares. Closing is expected August 7.
