CEO Letter to Stockholders highlights the Company's strategic and financial reset designed to strengthen BiomX in the near term and unlock future growth opportunities
Dear Stockholders,
Over the past several weeks, BiomX has taken decisive steps to reshape its leadership, priorities, and financial structure. Leadership has evolved, strategic priorities have been sharpened, and we are taking concrete steps intended to improve the Company's financial and operational structure. These changes have not been easy, but they are necessary to put BiomX on a stronger and more disciplined path forward.
Our goal is clear: to stabilize the Company's financial footing, simplify our capital structure, and position BiomX to pursue strategic opportunities with greater focus and discipline.
One such change relates to the warrants issued in connection with the recent investment completed in December 2025. These warrants were originally structured with a five-year term. Following consideration, the Board, in agreement with the warrant holders, determined to amend the warrant structure so that the warrants will have a one-year exercise period with an adjusted exercise price of
The details of this amendment are described in the Form 8-K filed on March 19, 2026. In practical terms, this change significantly shortens the timeline associated with these warrants. Long-dated warrants can create an overhang that may complicate how public investors evaluate the Company. By shortening the period to one year, BiomX is working towards the resolution of this overhang. The shorter duration also reduces the theoretical value of these warrants, as commonly measured by option pricing models.
We believe this step aligns the interests of the Company and our investors while supporting a more efficient financial structure, strengthening BiomX's financial profile.
Looking ahead, we are focused on simplifying our capital structure and strengthening our financial foundation to support future growth. These actions are intended to enhance our flexibility to access capital as we pursue the right opportunities. As part of this process, we are actively evaluating opportunities to reposition the Company toward sectors benefiting from strong global demand for advanced technologies, including defense-related applications.
Along with reducing non-essential costs and having a more rigorous spending discipline, we believe this better positions BiomX to execute on its long-term strategy. These actions include, for example, finalizing expenses related to the closure of our
In parallel, we have increased our engagement with the capital markets and are actively engaging with investment banks and institutional investors, In addition, we are evaluating strategies, broader opportunities, and potential targets to reposition the Company. BiomX is also consulting with Wall Street and business advisors to support such growth.
Our new leadership team brings experience across financial markets, corporate strategy, and public-Company management, including managing large public companies in the energy and defense sectors. We are focused on operating BiomX with strong financial discipline and responsible capital allocation.
We believe the steps we are taking support a more flexible and disciplined path forward while positioning BiomX to create long-term value for stakeholders.
I would like to thank our employees for their continued dedication and our stockholders for their patience and support during this period of transition. We remain committed to doing the work necessary to move BiomX forward on a stronger and more sustainable path.
Sincerely,
Michael Oster
CEO
BiomX Inc.
