• Finalizes $30 Million Equity Line

  Check-Cap Ltd. filed the final prospectus for a Purchase Agreement with ARC Group International Ltd., allowing the company to sell up to $30.0 million in Ordinary Shares over a three-year period. This finalizes the offering previously registered via F-1 and F-1/A filings.

• Significant Potential Dilution

  The prospectus registers 2,267,857 Ordinary Shares for resale by ARC Group, including 267,857 Commitment Fee Shares issued for no cash consideration. This represents a potential dilution of over 31% to the 7,288,359 Ordinary Shares currently outstanding.

• Discounted Share Sales

  Shares sold to ARC Group under the Purchase Agreement will be at a discount, specifically 95% of the lowest volume-weighted average price (VWAP) during a specified pricing period, indicating a need for capital.

• Critical Capital for Operations

  The company explicitly states the need for additional financing to sustain operations and implement its business plan, highlighting the critical nature of this capital raise.

This 424B3 filing finalizes the terms of the previously announced equity line of credit, making shares available for resale by ARC Group International Ltd. The company can sell up to $30.0 million in Ordinary Shares to ARC Group over three years, with the purchase price at a discount to market (95% of lowest VWAP). As consideration for the commitment, 267,857 shares were issued to ARC Group for no cash consideration. This financing is critical for Check-Cap, which explicitly states it may require additional capital to sustain operations and implement its business plan. The potential for substantial dilution is high, with 2.27 million shares immediately registered for resale, representing over 31% of current outstanding shares. This capital raise occurs as Check-Cap is undergoing a merger with MBody AI Corp, where existing Check-Cap shareholders are expected to own only 10% of the combined entity. The dilutive nature of this financing, coupled with the ongoing merger, presents a significant negative signal for current shareholders.
