• Cullgen Reverse Merger Details Confirmed

  The 10-K outlines the reverse merger with Cullgen Inc., where pre-merger Cullgen stockholders are expected to own approximately 96.4% of the combined company, valuing Pulmatrix at $10.5 million and Cullgen at $280.0 million. The merger is pending China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) approval, and a mutual waiver agreement was signed on December 17, 2025, regarding pre-closing restrictions.

• Weak 2025 Financials and Limited Cash Runway

  Pulmatrix reported nil revenue and a net loss of $5.162 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $4.088 million, providing a liquidity runway for at least 12 months from the filing date (into Q1 2027), but the company explicitly notes a 'going concern' risk.

• Legacy Drug Pipeline Paused for Monetization

  Development of Pulmatrix's existing product candidates (PUR3100, PUR1800, PUR1900) has been paused as the company seeks opportunities to monetize these assets in connection with the merger. The Cipla agreement for PUR1900 continues, with Pulmatrix eligible for 2% royalties on future net sales outside the US.

• Significant Out-of-the-Money Warrants Expired

  During 2025, 551,785 common stock warrants with a weighted-average exercise price of $79.15 expired. Additionally, 65,003 warrants with a $49.99 exercise price expired subsequent to December 31, 2025, but prior to the filing date, reducing potential future dilution.

This 10-K filing provides comprehensive details on Pulmatrix's pending reverse merger with Cullgen Inc., which is the company's primary strategic path forward. While the core financial results for 2025 (nil revenue, $5.162M net loss, $4.088M cash) were previously disclosed in an 8-K on the same day, this annual report offers critical context and updates on the merger's progress and terms. The merger, which was approved by Pulmatrix stockholders in June 2025 but still awaits China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) approval, will result in pre-merger Cullgen stockholders owning approximately 96.4% of the combined company, leading to substantial dilution for existing Pulmatrix shareholders. The company's legacy drug development programs are paused, with efforts focused on monetization. The expiration of a significant number of out-of-the-money warrants during and after 2025 is a positive development, reducing potential future dilution. The company's cash runway extends into Q1 2027, but the explicit 'going concern' risk highlights the critical need for the merger or other financing.
