Nasus Pharma Announces Pricing of $15.0 Million Private Placement
Rhea-AI Summary
Nasus Pharma (NYSE: NSRX) announced a private placement of ordinary shares and warrants to raise approximately $15.0 million gross, expected to close on or about February 12, 2026, subject to customary conditions.
The company will sell 2,695,425 ordinary shares with accompanying warrants exercisable at $6.53 per share, immediately exercisable and expiring two years from issuance or 30 trading days after top-line NS002 pivotal results. Proceeds will fund the NS002 pivotal study, first-in-human studies for other programs, and working capital.
Positive
- $15.0M gross proceeds to fund NS002 pivotal development
- Sale of 2,695,425 ordinary shares provides immediate capital
- Warrants exercisable at $6.53 could generate follow-on funding if exercised
- Participation by institutional investors and board members signals investor support
Negative
- Issuance of 2,695,425 shares causes immediate dilution to existing shareholders
- Outstanding warrants create potential additional dilution if exercised at $6.53
- Warrants expire upon earlier of two years or 30 trading days after NS002 top-line results, risking accelerated dilution near trial readout

NSRX gained 0.74% with elevated volume, while peers were mixed: SCLX (+1.36%), MIRA (+2.54%), ASRT (-3.71%), INCR (-4.64%), MDCX (0%). This points to a stock-specific reaction to the financing terms rather than a broad sector move.
Historical Context
| Date | Event | Sentiment | Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jan 20 | Clinical trial data | Positive | -7.5% | Positive interim Phase 2 NS002 epinephrine PK and safety results. |
| Dec 22 | Corporate update | Positive | -6.6% | Shareholder letter outlining IPO proceeds and NS002 development milestones. |
| Oct 08 | Partnership expansion | Positive | +0.8% | Expanded Aptar agreements to support NS002 development and commercialization. |
| Sep 02 | Conference participation | Neutral | -0.7% | Announcement of presentation at H.C. Wainwright investment conference. |
| Aug 26 | Listing milestone | Neutral | +0.5% | NYSE American listing celebration and emphasis on intranasal platform. |
Recent history shows several positive clinical and corporate updates followed by modest or negative price moves, suggesting a tendency toward selling or muted responses even on favorable news.
Over the last six months, NSRX has progressed NS002 clinically and corporately. Positive interim Phase 2 data on Jan 20, 2026 and a bullish 2025 shareholder letter on Dec 22, 2025 both saw 6–8% declines, while an Aptar collaboration expansion on Oct 8, 2025 and listing-related events in late August 2025 had small gains. Today’s private placement adds capital for NS002’s pivotal work, contrasting with past news that was largely non-dilutive.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement details a $15.0 million private placement of 2,695,425 ordinary shares and an equal number of warrants, priced at a premium to the last close. Proceeds are earmarked to advance NS002 into pivotal development and to fund first-in-human studies for other pipeline assets. In context of recent positive Phase 2 NS002 data and prior IPO funding, investors may watch execution on clinical timelines and how new equity issuance affects the capital structure over time.

About Nasus Pharma
Nasus Pharma is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing a number of intranasal powder products addressing acute medical conditions in the community. NS002, Nasus’ intranasal powder Epinephrine product candidate is being developed as a needle-free alternative to Epinephrine autoinjectors for patients with anaphylaxis. Intranasal administration is most suitable for those situations in which rapid drug delivery is required and offers needle-free, easy-to-use alternatives. Nasus’ proprietary powder-based intranasal (“PBI”) technology is designed for rapid and reliable drug delivery, leveraging the nasal cavity’s rich vascular network for quick absorption. The PBI formulation uses uniform spherical powder particles for broad dispersion and potentially faster, higher absorption compared to liquid-based nasal products.
