Analysis · SKYE · Life Sciences
The Q2 10-Q from Skye Bioscience puts hard numbers on the previously announced Redx Pharma reverse merger: a $67.9M concurrent financing (up to $72.9M), a $36M Series A, and a $22M equity line of credit. Existing Skye shareholders will own only 5.38% of the combined company. The filing also discloses a 1-for-8 reverse stock split effective August 24, 2026, to regain Nasdaq compliance, and a $3.25M increase in legal contingency reserves for the Cunning lawsuit. The company has a working capital deficit and substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern if the transaction fails.
