Analysis
Nuwellis, a micro-cap company facing a going concern warning and widening losses, has finalized the terms of a "reasonable best efforts" offering. This S-1/A details the sale of up to 6.58 million shares (or pre-funded warrants) at $0.76 per unit, along with highly dilutive Series C and D common warrants, and placement agent warrants. The initial offering is expected to raise $4.4 million in net proceeds, with an additional $5.0 million possible from the exercise of common warrants.
