[SCHEDULE 13G] Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (ADIL) – Schedule 13G filing (Event date: 17 Jun 2025)

The filing discloses the equity position of three related reporting persons—Mitchell P. Kopin, Daniel B. Asher and Intracoastal Capital LLC—following a Securities Purchase Agreement (SPA) dated 17 Jun 2025. As of the close of business on 20 Jun 2025 they jointly held 446,282 common shares, equal to 2.8 % of ADIL’s outstanding stock (10,434,695 shares reported outstanding on 11 Jun 2025). Voting and dispositive power over these shares is shared.

The SPA provides for the issuance of up to 1,150,000 additional common shares and three tranches of warrants (collectively up to 3,091,225 shares) to Intracoastal. Each warrant contains ownership “blocker” clauses (4.99 %–9.99 %) that limit exercisability. Without the blockers—and assuming all warrants were exercisable—the reporting persons’ potential beneficial ownership could rise to 4,229,225 shares.

At present, because the blocker provisions are in force and warrant tranches 2 & 3 require shareholder approval before becoming exercisable, the group remains below the 5 % Schedule 13D threshold and files on a passive 13G basis.

Key take-aways for investors

• Current stake: 2.8 % (non-controlling, passive).
• Immediate dilution risk: 1.15 M new shares to be issued at SPA closing.
• Additional dilution risk: up to 3.09 M warrant shares dependent on blocker limits and shareholder approval.
• Ownership reduction from the initial 9.99 % cap to 2.8 % suggests limited near-term influence by the reporting group.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR – Passive 2.8 % stake today; warrants could raise dilution but blockers limit near-term impact.

The filing confirms that Intracoastal and its principals currently own 446,282 ADIL shares (2.8 %). The SPA, previously disclosed, will issue 1.15 M shares and three warrants. While the headline potential is 4.23 M shares, blocker clauses (4.99 %/9.99 %) defer material dilution until shareholder approval and further exercises. From a valuation perspective, the immediate 1.15 M share issuance represents c.11 % dilution versus the 10.43 M share count. The passive 13G, versus a 13D, signals no activist intent. Overall impact on near-term price should be muted, but investors must monitor future warrant exercises and the shareholder vote.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR – Non-controlling investors; governance risk low, dilution risk conditional on approvals.

Because the group files on Schedule 13G and remains below 5 %, it is deemed passive and does not seek control. The SPA-linked warrants are structured with blocker provisions to prevent any single holder from breaching beneficial-ownership caps without explicit shareholder consent, aligning with good governance practice. However, should shareholders approve the additional tranches, the company’s float could expand by up to 40 % relative to the current share count, potentially altering ownership dispersion. Governance implications therefore hinge on the upcoming shareholder vote rather than the present filing.
