This 424B5 filing finalizes the terms and pricing of the "best efforts" public offering previously disclosed in a preliminary prospectus supplement on March 23, 2026. Outlook Therapeutics is raising $5.0 million in gross proceeds through the sale of 20 million common shares and accompanying common warrants, priced at $0.25 per unit. This offering was priced at a significant discount to the stock's closing price of $0.3198 on March 23, 2026, reflecting the company's urgent need for capital. The company explicitly states that the estimated net proceeds of approximately $4.0 million will not alleviate the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, with current funds projected to last only until June 2026. The offering is highly dilutive, with the shares sold representing over 23% dilution to current outstanding shares, and potential additional dilution of nearly 50% if all common and placement agent warrants are exercised. This capital raise is critical for the company's short-term liquidity but comes at a high cost to existing shareholders and underscores severe financial challenges, including an active Nasdaq delisting notice.
