• Finalized Public Offering Terms

  Rein Therapeutics officially priced a public offering of 50,000,000 shares of common stock at $1.00 per share, generating $46.5 million in net proceeds. This finalizes the terms of an offering previously registered via S-1 and reported in news.

• Significant Shareholder Dilution

  The offering represents an approximate 178% dilution to existing shareholders, based on 28,039,032 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026, and is priced at a substantial discount to the stock's last reported sale price of $1.355 on April 30, 2026.

• Critical Capital Raise for Operations

  The net proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the repayment of $5.375 million in promissory notes, which is crucial given the company's previously disclosed going concern risk.

• Additional Warrants Issued

  The company will issue warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares to Bios Entities at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and 1,500,000 shares to underwriters at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, further increasing potential future dilution.

This 424B5 filing officially details the pricing and terms of the public offering, which was previously reported in news on May 1, 2026, and follows an S-1 registration filed on April 28, 2026, that proposed a smaller offering at a higher price. The company is selling 50 million shares at $1.00 per share, generating $46.5 million in net proceeds. This offering is priced at a significant discount to the stock's last reported sale price of $1.355 on April 30, 2026, and represents an extraordinary dilution of approximately 178% to existing shareholders based on shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026. The proceeds are critical for the company's working capital and to repay $5.375 million in promissory notes, directly addressing its stated going concern risk. However, the deep discount and massive dilution reflect a distressed capital raise, significantly impacting shareholder value, especially with the stock trading near its 52-week low.
