In other recent news, NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. has settled disputes over warrants with three investment funds, including Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund Ltd., Bigger Capital Fund, LP, and District 2 Capital Fund LP. These settlements are part of NovaBay’s efforts to resolve issues as it seeks stockholder approval for its planned liquidation and dissolution.

Only about 49% of the outstanding shares were in favor, falling short of the required majority.
