• Prospectus Finalized for Equity Line of Credit

  Onconetix filed a prospectus for the resale of up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock by Keystone Capital Partners, LLC under an existing equity line of credit (ELOC) established on October 2, 2024. This follows the S-1 registration filed on June 8, 2026, for the same amount of shares, and significantly increases the potential offering size compared to the 25 million shares previously registered on May 11, 2026.

• Extreme Potential Dilution

  The 100,000,000 shares registered for resale represent approximately 96.4% of the total outstanding shares if fully issued, based on 3,691,492 shares outstanding as of June 5, 2026. This indicates a massive potential dilution for current shareholders.

• Deep Discount Pricing

  Shares sold to Keystone under the ELOC Purchase Agreement will be at a discounted price, for example, 90% of the daily volume-weighted average price (VWAP) or closing price. The prospectus assumes a price of $0.1375 per share for the 100 million shares, which is a substantial discount to the current market price of $1.02.

• Critical Capital Raise Amidst Going Concern Warning

  The company explicitly states 'substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern' and that its current cash balance is insufficient for one year of operations. The ELOC is a critical financing mechanism, with Onconetix having already received approximately $11.3 million in proceeds through June 5, 2026, and potentially up to $25 million in total.

This filing finalizes the prospectus for the resale of up to 100 million shares under an existing equity line of credit (ELOC) with Keystone Capital Partners, LLC. This represents extreme potential dilution for existing shareholders, as the 100 million shares are significantly more than the 3.69 million shares currently outstanding. The company is selling shares to Keystone at a discount to market prices, indicating a distressed need for capital, further underscored by its explicit 'going concern' warning. While the ELOC provides critical funding for operations and debt redemption, the terms are highly unfavorable, suggesting a challenging financial position.
