• Shareholder Vote on Warrant Issuance

  Shareholders will vote to approve the potential issuance of 20,529,951 shares underlying private placement and placement agent warrants issued in April 2026, and amended warrants from January 2025. If approved, these exercises could generate approximately $6.5 million in gross proceeds, but would result in significant dilution (approximately 17% of current outstanding shares).

• Proposed Authorized Share Increase

  The company seeks to increase its authorized common stock from 260 million to 600 million shares. This increase is crucial to enable the company to utilize its $100 million At-The-Market (ATM) offering program and other future capital raises. If all authorized shares were issued, dilution would be approximately 396%.

• Proposed Reverse Stock Split

  Shareholders will vote on a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-10 and 1-for-50. This measure is intended to regain compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement and prevent delisting, which would trigger an event of default on a $9.8 million convertible note.

Outlook Therapeutics is seeking shareholder approval for a series of critical measures to address its severe financial distress and Nasdaq listing compliance issues. The proposals include authorizing the issuance of over 20 million shares from previously issued warrants, a substantial increase in authorized common stock from 260 million to 600 million shares, and a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1-for-10 and 1-for-50. These actions are necessary to enable the company to raise capital, including through its $100 million At-The-Market (ATM) program, and to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. Failure to approve these proposals could lead to delisting, triggering a default on a $9.8 million convertible note and severely impacting the company's ability to fund operations and continue as a going concern. The proposed actions indicate a desperate need for capital and will result in significant dilution for existing shareholders.
