Previous Offering Reports
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jul 31 | Public offering closing | Negative | -4.3% | Closing of $8.0M public equity offering with accompanying long- and short-term warrants. |
| Jul 29 | Public offering pricing | Negative | -56.3% | Pricing of $8.0M equity offering with common stock and warrants at $4.00 per share. |
Prior AIM equity offerings were followed by single-day share price declines, indicating a history of negative reactions to dilution-related news.
Over the past six months, AIM has repeatedly tapped capital markets and highlighted Ampligen’s oncology potential. Prior offering events in July 2025 raised $8.0M and saw shares fall 4.26% and 56.25% the next day. More recently, AIM reported Q3 2025 results with cash of $2.4M and a net loss of $(3.3M), while reinforcing its strategic focus on pancreatic cancer trials. Today’s rights offering update fits this ongoing effort to fund the Ampligen program and strengthen the balance sheet.
Historical Comparison
In the past year, AIM’s offering-related announcements produced an average move of 30.25%, with both prior events leaning negative. Today’s rights offering update continues this reliance on equity financing for liquidity and trial funding.
AIM has moved from traditional public offerings in <b>July 2025</b> to a rights offering structure, leveraging existing holders while its broader <b>$100M</b> shelf provides additional flexibility for future financings.
Regulatory & Risk Context
AIM has an effective Form S-3/A shelf filed on June 27, 2025, allowing issuance of up to $100 million of various securities. This rights offering draws on that capital-markets flexibility and, alongside prior usage via a 424B5 in July 2025, underscores ongoing dilution capacity for existing shareholders.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement outlines a rights offering that could raise up to $12 million via Series G Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants, building on AIM’s existing $100 million shelf capacity. Historically, offering news has produced sizable moves, with an average change of 30.25%. Investors may track subscription uptake, any extensions to the February 2026 timetable, and progress of Ampligen trials, given the stated use of proceeds for clinical and manufacturing needs and partial debt repayment.

Some of the statements included in this press release may be forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among other things, for those statements, the Company claims the protection of safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any forward-looking statements set forth in the press release speak only as of the date of the press release. The Company does not undertake to update any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date hereof. The Company is in various stages of seeking to determine whether Ampligen® will be effective in the treatment of multiple types of viral diseases, cancers, and immune-deficiency disorders and disclosures in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on our website and in our press releases set forth our current and anticipated future activities. These activities are subject to change for a number of reasons. Significant additional testing and trials will be required to determine whether Ampligen® will be effective in the treatment of these conditions. Results obtained in animal models do not necessarily predict results in humans. Human clinical trials will be necessary to prove whether or not Ampligen® will be efficacious in humans. No assurance can be given as to whether current or planned clinical trials will be successful or yield favorable data and the trials are subject to many factors including lack of regulatory approval(s), lack of study drug, or a change in priorities at the institutions sponsoring other trials. Even if these clinical trials are initiated, we cannot assure that the clinical studies will be successful or yield any useful data or require additional funding. Among the studies are clinical trials that provide only preliminary data with a small number of subjects, and no assurance can be given that the findings in these studies will prove true or that the study or studies will yield favorable results. No assurance can be given that future studies will not result in findings that are different from those reported in the studies referenced in our reports filed with the SEC, on the Company’s website and in its press releases. Operating in foreign countries carries with it a number of risks, including potential difficulties in enforcing intellectual property rights. The Company cannot assure that its potential foreign operations will not be adversely affected by these risks.
