Spectral AI is seeking shareholder approval for the reservation and issuance of up to 8 million common shares to Hudson Bay Master Fund Ltd. This vote is required by Nasdaq rules for a Securities Purchase Agreement that closed on October 22, 2025. The transaction initially provided approximately $7.6 million in capital from the sale of 3.065 million shares at $1.90 per share and 935,000 pre-funded warrants at $1.8999 each. Additionally, 4 million warrants with an exercise price of $2.51 were issued. While the potential issuance of 8 million shares represents significant dilution (approximately 25% of current outstanding shares), the initial capital raise was substantial for the company (over 14% of its market cap) and was priced at a premium to the current stock price of $1.67. This financing likely contributed to the company's recently reported financial improvements, including a tripling of cash by year-end 2025 and a $31.7 million non-dilutive funding advance from BARDA. The current vote is a compliance measure to allow the full potential issuance under the existing agreement.
