• Massive Potential Dilution from Financings

  Shareholders are asked to approve the issuance of over 31.9 million shares from April and May 2026 convertible notes and warrants. This represents approximately 77.6% dilution of current outstanding shares at initial conversion prices, with terms including no floor on conversion price and full-ratchet anti-dilution, leading to potentially unlimited dilution.

• Significant Insider Participation in Financings

  Key insiders, including CEO Adam Levy, Director Scott R. Henry, and newly appointed Director Brian J. Kieser (and his affiliated entity Sequence LifeScience, Inc.), participated in the dilutive April and May 2026 financings.

• Proposed Increase in Authorized Shares

  The company seeks to increase authorized common stock from 25 million to 100 million shares. This is necessary to cover an existing shortfall of over 22 million shares required for outstanding convertible securities and future capital needs, and to provide flexibility for future capital raises.

• Discretionary Reverse Stock Split

  To regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum $1.00 bid price requirement and avoid delisting, the board seeks authority to implement a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-2 and 1-for-10.

NEXGEL is seeking shareholder approval for several critical proposals at its upcoming Annual Meeting, including a highly dilutive issuance of shares from recent convertible note and warrant financings, a substantial increase in authorized common stock, and a discretionary reverse stock split to maintain Nasdaq listing. The company also proposes reincorporating to Nevada, which would bundle the authorized share increase and reverse split authority under new, potentially more management-friendly, corporate governance rules. These measures are crucial for the company's financial stability and continued listing, especially given its recent "going concern" warning and Nasdaq deficiency notice.
