| Date | Event | Sentiment | 24h Move | Catalyst |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mar 26 | Eos merger deal | Positive | -28.8% | Announced stock-for-stock merger with Eos and $19M concurrent financings. |

24h Move is the share-price change in the day after each event; other market factors may also have contributed.
Acquisition/merger headlines have often led to downside for PULM, with three of four prior events trading lower the next day despite generally strategic narratives.
Over the past 18 months, Pulmatrix has repeatedly used M&A to redefine its future. A proposed Cullgen merger in November 2024 initially lifted shares by 73.66%, but later waivers and regulatory delays preceded a December 2025 update and an eventual termination on March 2, 2026, which saw a -36.79% move. On March 26, 2026, Pulmatrix announced a new merger with Eos SENOLYTIX and related financings. Today’s preferred stock closing ties directly into that Eos transaction, extending this acquisition-driven transition story.

About Eos SENOLYTIX, Inc.
Eos SENOLYTIX is a biotechnology company focused on developing first-in-class gerotherapeutic peptide medicines that target the underlying biological mechanisms of aging. Eos's lead clinical candidates, PTC-2105 and PTC-2107, both proprietary MitoXcel™ geropeptides, have demonstrated the ability to rejuvenate naturally aged mice via two separate mechanisms, both via a single, aging-specific target, the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP), also called the "Δψm". These two mechanisms include (1) the return of the efficiency of mitochondrial function in aging cells almost immediately back to their younger, more efficient phenotype, and (2) the profound elimination of senescent cells throughout every organ in the body, including the brain, reducing their negative systemic inflammatory effects. Extensive preclinical studies suggest the MitoXcel™ platform may be a broad gerotherapeutic that improves body composition, increasing lean muscle mass, and enhancing physical function in aging animals. By targeting fundamental processes driving aging and aging-related diseases, Eos SENOLYTIX is pursuing a unique therapeutic opportunity to intervene in the aging process in ways that were once thought impossible. Eos SENOLYTIX is headquartered in
