Aethlon Medical issues new warrants, modifies rights

Aethlon Medical (TASE:BLWV) Inc. (NASDAQ:AEMD), a medical device company currently trading at $0.37 per share, has entered into an agreement that could potentially lead to an expansion of its investor base and additional working capital. The timing appears critical, as InvestingPro data shows the company has been quickly burning through cash, though it maintains more cash than debt on its balance sheet. On Sunday, the company announced a warrant inducement agreement with a holder of its existing Class A and Class B Warrants, initially issued in May 2024.

The agreement, dated March 16, 2025, allows the holder to acquire new unregistered Common Stock Purchase Warrants, enabling them to purchase shares equal to 200% of the shares issued upon the exercise of existing warrants. The new warrants have an exercise price of $0.3736 per share, adjustable under certain conditions, and are exercisable six months after issuance. They will remain valid for 5.5 years from the date of issue.

In addition to the new warrants, Aethlon Medical has adjusted the exercise price of the existing warrants to $0.3736 per share, but only for cash exercises. This price reflects the closing price of the company’s stock on March 14, 2025.

The transaction closed today, with Aethlon Medical raising approximately $2.316 million before deducting closing costs and agent fees. This capital injection comes at a crucial time, as InvestingPro analysis indicates the company’s current market capitalization stands at just $5.4 million, with an EBITDA of -$9.49 million in the last twelve months. The company plans to use the net proceeds for working capital and other corporate purposes.

Concurrent with the exercise of the existing warrants, Aethlon Medical issued approximately 6.2 million shares of common stock. These shares have been registered under a Form S-1 registration statement.

The company has also committed to filing a resale registration statement for the shares underlying the new warrants within 90 days of the agreement, with efforts to make it effective within 150 days.

If the company fails to meet the filing deadline, it may be subject to liquidated damages as specified in the agreement. Furthermore, Aethlon Medical has agreed to a 60-day restriction post-closing on issuing or announcing the issuance of any common stock or equivalents, with certain exceptions.

Maxim Group LLC, the placement agent for the transaction, will receive a 6.0% cash fee based on the gross proceeds from the warrant exercises and reimbursement for legal fees and expenses up to $15,000.

This strategic move by Aethlon Medical is based on a press release statement and aims to strengthen the company’s financial position and support its ongoing operations. InvestingPro metrics show the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 2.8, indicating strong short-term liquidity, though its stock has seen significant volatility, declining 78.4% over the past year.

In other recent news, Aethlon Medical Inc . reported a significant reduction in its net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024, bringing it down to $1.8 million from $3.5 million in the previous period. This improvement was largely due to a 50% cut in operating expenses, including major savings in payroll and professional fees. The company maintains a cash balance of $4.8 million as of the end of December 2024. Aethlon Medical has been advancing its oncology trials in Australia, focusing on its Hemopurifier technology, which is being explored for its potential applications in both oncology and viral treatments. The company is also planning to continue these trials in India, with a projected enrollment of 9 to 18 patients. A subtle mention of analyst perspectives includes insights from Zacks, who inquired about the patient enrollment process and the company’s strategic cost management. Aethlon Medical’s strategic focus on reducing expenses and advancing clinical trials has been well received in the market, as indicated by a rise in its stock following the earnings announcement.
