Recent news shows a financing-heavy trajectory for BioRestorative. On Oct 6, 2025, it announced a $1.085M registered direct offering, followed by the $5.0M public offering pricing on Feb 11, 2026. Both financings fund BRTX-100 trials, ThermoStem development, and the biocosmeceuticals platform. The current closing of the $5.0M deal continues this pattern of equity-based capital raising to support late-stage clinical work and corporate needs.
Historical Comparison
In the past two offering announcements, BRTX’s average move was -16.7%. Today’s closing of the $5.0M unit deal extends this pattern of equity financings.
Historical offering events show a recurring use of equity and warrants to fund BRTX-100 trials, ThermoStem R&D, and the biocosmeceuticals platform.
Market Pulse Summary
The stock surged +16.1% in the session following this news. A strong positive reaction aligns with heavy interest around BioRestorative’s late-stage pipeline but contrasts with historical offering moves averaging -16.7%. The completed $5.0M unit deal adds cash for BRTX-100, ThermoStem and biocosmeceuticals but also increases dilution via 14,285,715 new shares plus matching warrants. Prior financings and going-concern disclosures in recent filings highlight ongoing funding risk if future capital access tightens.

About BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.
BioRestorative (www.biorestorative.com) develops therapeutic products using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. As described below, our two core clinical development programs relate to the treatment of disc/spine disease and metabolic disorders, and we also operate a commercial BioCosmeceutical platform:
• Disc/Spine Program (brtxDISC™): Our lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person’s own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient’s bone marrow. We intend that the product will be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful lumbosacral disc disorders or as a complementary therapeutic to a surgical procedure. The BRTX-100 production process utilizes proprietary technology and involves collecting a patient’s bone marrow, isolating and culturing stem cells from the bone marrow and cryopreserving the cells. In an outpatient procedure, BRTX-100 is to be injected by a physician into the patient’s damaged disc. The treatment is intended for patients whose pain has not been alleviated by non-invasive procedures and who potentially face the prospect of surgery. We have commenced a Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100 to treat chronic lower back pain arising from degenerative disc disease. We have also obtained U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Investigational New Drug (“IND”) clearance to evaluate BRTX-100 in the treatment of chronic cervical discogenic pain.
• Metabolic Program (ThermoStem®): We are developing cell-based therapy candidates to target obesity and metabolic disorders using brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells (“BADSC”) to generate brown adipose tissue (“BAT”), as well as exosomes secreted by BADSC. BAT is intended to mimic naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic homeostasis in humans. Initial preclinical research indicates that increased amounts of brown fat in animals may be responsible for additional caloric burning as well as reduced glucose and lipid levels. Researchers have found that people with higher levels of brown fat may have a reduced risk for obesity and diabetes. BADSC secreted exosomes may also impact weight loss.
• BioCosmeceuticals: We operate a commercial BioCosmeceutical platform. Our current commercial product, formulated and manufactured using our cGMP ISO-7 certified clean room, is a cell-based secretome containing exosomes, proteins and growth factors. This proprietary biologic serum has been specifically engineered by us to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and bring forth other areas of cosmetic effectiveness. Moving forward, we also intend to explore the potential of expanding our commercial offering to include a broader family of cell-based biologic aesthetic products and therapeutics via IND-enabling studies, with the aim of pioneering FDA approvals in the emerging BioCosmeceuticals space.
