Analysis
Liminatus Pharma has significantly reduced the exercise price of over 13.8 million warrants from $0.29 to $0.18 per share. This concession makes the warrants more attractive to exercise, increasing the likelihood of substantial dilution for existing shareholders. The company is facing a Nasdaq delisting notice and has previously reported significant doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. While raising capital is critical for survival, especially following a recent 'transformative' acquisition, the unfavorable terms reflect the company's distressed financial position and weak bargaining power, placing a heavy burden on current equity holders.
