• Details of $5 Million Unit Offering

  The company is offering up to 2,024,291 units, each consisting of one share of common stock (or a pre-funded warrant) and one common warrant, aiming to raise approximately $5 million in gross proceeds. The assumed offering price is $2.47 per unit, based on the closing price on March 18, 2026, which is above the current stock price of $2.14.

• Significant Share Dilution

  The offering is highly dilutive, with the number of common shares outstanding expected to increase from 1,741,424 to 3,847,129, representing a potential dilution of over 120% to existing shareholders if all units are issued and pre-funded warrants exercised.

• Inclusion of Warrants

  Each unit includes one common warrant to purchase an additional share of common stock, exercisable immediately for five years. Additionally, the underwriter will receive warrants to purchase up to 5% of the total securities sold, adding further potential dilution.

• Critical Capital Raise for Going Concern

  The proceeds are intended for general corporate purposes and working capital. This capital raise is critical for the company's financial viability, following a 'going concern' warning reported in its last 10-Q filing.

This S-1/A filing provides specific, albeit preliminary, terms for the previously announced $5 million public offering. The offering is highly dilutive, with the potential to increase outstanding shares by over 120% if all units (common stock or pre-funded warrants) are issued. The inclusion of common warrants adds further potential dilution. While the assumed offering price of $2.47 per unit (based on a March 18, 2026 closing price) is above the current market price of $2.14, the sheer scale of the capital raise relative to the company's market capitalization (approximately 140% of current market cap) indicates a critical need for funding. This financing is crucial for Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, especially given its prior 'going concern' warning, as it provides essential working capital and extends its operational runway.
