Nucor earnings beat by $0.08, revenue fell short of estimates
Alzamend Neuro , Inc. (NASDAQ:ALZN), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in pharmaceutical preparations with a current market capitalization of $4.42 million, has entered into a significant agreement for selling and exchanging equity securities, according to an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. InvestingPro data shows the company’s stock has declined 27.8% year-to-date, making this financing particularly crucial for its operations. The deal, finalized today, involves a sophisticated investor and could amount to a total purchase price of up to $5 million.
The agreement includes the exchange of 97.7511 shares of Alzamend’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for an equal number of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, along with the sale of up to 500 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and corresponding warrants to purchase common stock. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains a healthy current ratio of 3.8, indicating sufficient liquid assets to meet short-term obligations, though it’s worth noting the company is quickly burning through its cash reserves. This arrangement is structured in several tranches, with the first involving the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock in exchange for Series A shares and the issuance of warrants for 1,000,000 shares of common stock.
The Series C Preferred Stock carries a stated value of $10,000 per share and is convertible into common stock at a price subject to certain conditions. Holders of this stock are entitled to cumulative cash dividends at an annual rate of 15%, payable quarterly. In the event of company liquidation, Series C Preferred Stock holders have preferential rights to payment over other stock classes.
The warrants issued in the agreement have an exercise price of $0.92125 and are exercisable immediately upon issuance, expiring five years from the execution date. However, the issuance of shares upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock or exercise of the warrants is capped at 19.99% of the total outstanding common stock unless shareholder approval is obtained.
The investor also gains certain rights, including a right of first refusal for future equity offerings and the right to maintain their percentage ownership in the event of subsequent financings, provided they have funded the company with a minimum of $712,500 by April 15, 2025.
The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory, and shareholder approval. The company has committed to filing a proxy statement to seek the necessary shareholder approval for the transactions exceeding the 19.99% cap.
This transaction is part of Alzamend Neuro’s efforts to secure funding for its operations and represents a significant development for the company and its investors. InvestingPro analysis indicates an overall Financial Health Score of 1.45 (labeled as ’Weak’), suggesting the importance of this funding for the company’s future operations.

In other recent news, Alzamend Neuro, Inc. has announced the completion of a specialized head coil by Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Dynamic Coils BV. This development is a critical step as the company prepares for its Phase II clinical trials. These trials will assess the pharmacokinetics of Alzamend’s product, AL001, in comparison to traditional lithium carbonate for treating neurological and psychiatric conditions. The innovative head coil is designed to enable high-resolution whole-brain imaging, which will aid in precisely measuring lithium distribution in the brain. Alzamend’s collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital will oversee these trials, aiming to optimize lithium absorption in the brain with lower blood concentration levels. Preliminary studies suggest that AL001 may offer a safer and more effective dosing strategy than current lithium salts. Furthermore, the trials will explore the potential to eliminate the need for therapeutic drug monitoring of lithium. This could simplify treatment protocols for conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Alzamend has indicated that additional details about the trials will be shared in the future.
