This 424B3 filing finalizes the prospectus for a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) with YA II PN, LTD., allowing RedHill Biopharma to sell up to $25.0 million in ADSs at a discount to market prices over 36 months. This follows the F-1/A registration statement filed on January 22, 2026, and the 6-K on January 27, 2026, which disclosed plans for a substantial increase in authorized share capital to facilitate such offerings. The potential issuance of 6,465,559 ADSs for resale, representing over 126% of current outstanding shares, indicates extreme dilution for existing shareholders. The company, which reported a "going concern" in its financials and declining revenues, is utilizing this facility to secure critical funding for general corporate purposes, highlighting its precarious financial position. The pricing mechanism, which involves selling shares at a discount to VWAP, and the restriction on other variable rate transactions below a certain price, further underscore the challenging terms of this capital raise.
