• Strategic Advisor Warrants Approval

  Shareholder approval is sought for the issuance of shares underlying Strategic Advisor Warrants, representing 5.0% of the fully diluted shares issued in a recent private placement. This equates to approximately 1,615,853 shares, valued at about $4.85 million, and involves entities affiliated with the CEO and President.

• Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrants Approval

  Shareholders will vote on the issuance of shares from Cryptocurrency Pre-Funded Warrants (likely 6,351,021 shares) related to a November 2025 private placement where Canton Coin cryptocurrency was accepted as consideration. This represents a potential dilution of approximately $19.05 million.

• Advisor Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) Issuance

  Approval is requested for the issuance of 162,601 shares in Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) to Clear Street LLC, a placement agent for a private placement offering, valued at approximately $0.49 million.

• Significant Equity Incentive Plan Expansion

  A proposal to amend the 2023 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance by 7,000,000 shares. This represents a potential future dilution of approximately $21.0 million.

This preliminary proxy statement outlines several critical proposals that, if approved, will lead to substantial dilution for existing Tharimmune shareholders. The company is seeking approval for the exercise of warrants and RSUs related to recent private placements, as well as a significant increase to its equity incentive plan. The combined potential dilution from these proposals is substantial, representing over 40% of the current market capitalization. While capital raises are often necessary for life sciences companies, the magnitude of these issuances, coupled with the acceptance of cryptocurrency as consideration in a private placement, signals a potentially aggressive financing strategy. Investors should carefully consider the long-term dilutive impact on their holdings and the implications of these financing methods.
