• Offering Finalized

  Finalizes the terms and pricing of a public offering to raise up to $4 million, following previous S-1 filings and a news announcement on April 1, 2026.

• Deep Discount Pricing

  Common stock and pre-funded warrants are offered at $1.14 or $1.139, a significant discount to the last reported sale price of $1.43 on March 31, 2026, and the current market price of $1.65.

• Extreme Dilution

  The offering includes up to 3,508,772 shares/pre-funded warrants and 5,263,159 common warrants. The initial tranche alone represents over 100% dilution to current outstanding shares.

• Catastrophic Warrant Dilution Risk

  Common warrants feature a cashless exercise provision that could result in the issuance of a substantially greater number of shares, with the company explicitly stating it may not have sufficient authorized shares (200,000,000) to cover potential exercises (e.g., 5.26M warrants could yield 900M shares if stock price drops to $0.01).

This 424B4 filing finalizes the terms and pricing of VivoSim Labs' public offering, which was previously registered via S-1 and S-1/A. The company is raising up to $4 million through a combination of common stock (or pre-funded warrants) and accompanying common warrants, priced at a significant discount to the current market price. The offering is critical for the company's survival, as it faces a "going concern" warning and needs capital to fund operations beyond July 2026. However, the terms are highly unfavorable to existing shareholders. The offering is extremely dilutive, with the initial tranche alone representing over 100% of outstanding shares. A major concern is the cashless exercise feature of the common warrants, which could lead to the issuance of a vastly greater number of shares, potentially exceeding the company's authorized share count and causing catastrophic dilution. This financing provides a short-term lifeline but introduces severe long-term dilution risks.
