• Definitive Proxy Filed for Annual Meeting

  This definitive proxy statement finalizes proposals for the April 3, 2026 Annual Meeting, following a preliminary filing on February 27, 2026.

• Reverse Stock Split Proposed to Avoid Delisting

  Shareholders will vote on a reverse stock split with a ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-15 to regain compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. The company faces a May 4, 2026 deadline to regain compliance.

• Significant Potential Dilution from Reverse Split Terms

  The authorized number of common shares (100,000,000) will not be reduced proportionally with the reverse stock split, creating a substantial pool of shares available for future issuance and significant potential dilution for existing shareholders.

• Equity Incentive Plan Expansion Proposed

  Shareholders will vote on an amendment to the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan to increase the aggregate number of shares available for awards by 1,500,000 and introduce an evergreen provision for annual 5% increases of fully diluted shares for five years (2027-2031).

This definitive proxy statement outlines critical proposals for NeuroOne Medical Technologies' upcoming annual meeting, directly addressing its precarious financial and listing status. The proposed reverse stock split, while necessary to avoid Nasdaq delisting, carries a substantial risk of future dilution because the authorized share count will remain unchanged. This means that if the maximum 1-for-15 reverse split is enacted, the company would have authorized shares representing approximately 2875% of the new outstanding shares, creating a massive overhang. Furthermore, the proposed amendment to the equity incentive plan, which adds 1,500,000 shares and an annual 5% evergreen provision, exacerbates this dilution risk. Investors should be highly concerned about the potential for significant future dilution, despite the immediate need to maintain the Nasdaq listing. This filing follows a recent insider purchase, but the scale of potential dilution from these proposals far outweighs that positive signal.
