Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Autonomix Medical, Inc. (AMIX) entered into a warrant inducement transaction with an investor holding previously issued Series D-1 and D-2 warrants. The investor agreed to immediately exercise warrants to purchase 857,462 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.75 per share, generating expected gross proceeds of about $4.9 million before fees and expenses.

In consideration for this cash exercise, Autonomix will issue unregistered Series E-1 and Series E-2 warrants, each to purchase up to 535,913 shares of common stock, with a $6.25 exercise price and a 5-year term.

Filing Explained

The August 24, 2026 transaction is partly completed: Autonomix issued two unregistered warrants, creating capacity for 535,913 shares under each, while the 857,462-share exercise and approximately $4.9 million of proceeds remain agreed or anticipated rather than documented as completed or received; exercise would increase the share count and reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership.

warrant inducement financial
"entered into a warrant inducement offer letter with the holder"
Warrant inducement is when a company offers new warrants—options to buy shares at a set price—as a sweetener to persuade investors, lenders, or shareholders to approve a deal or provide financing. Investors should care because these extra warrants can dilute existing ownership if exercised, change the company’s future share supply and potential upside, and alter the risk/reward balance much like giving a coupon that could reduce future prices for original buyers.
Beneficial Ownership Limitation financial
"may not exercise any such warrant to the extent that such exercise would result in"
A beneficial ownership limitation is a rule that caps the percentage of a company’s shares an investor can be treated as owning or controlling for voting, regulatory or tax purposes. It matters to investors because it can restrict how many shares a person or group can buy or vote, affect takeover chances, and influence share liquidity and value — like a speed limit that prevents any single driver from taking over the whole road.
fundamental transaction financial
"In the event of certain fundamental transactions, the Holder of the New Warrants will have"
Black Scholes value financial
"amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion"
The Black–Scholes value is the theoretical fair price of a stock option calculated by the Black–Scholes mathematical model; it combines the current stock price, the option’s strike price, time until expiration, expected price swings (volatility), and interest rates to produce a single number. Investors use it like a reference sticker price: to spot mispriced options, guide trading and hedging decisions, and estimate potential risk and reward without relying on emotion or guesswork.
private placement financial
"The New Warrants described above are being offered in a private placement"
A private placement is a sale of securities directly to a selected group of investors, typically institutions or accredited investors, instead of through a public offering. It lets a company raise money faster and with fewer regulatory steps; for existing shareholders it matters because the newly issued shares, often sold at a discount, increase the share count and can dilute their ownership.
Section 4(a)(2) regulatory
"pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act available under Section 4(a)(2)"
Section 4(a)(2) is a part of U.S. securities laws that allows companies to sell their stock directly to certain investors without registering the sale with regulators. This process is often used for private placements, making it easier and faster for companies to raise money from knowledgeable or institutional investors. It matters to investors because it provides an alternative way to buy shares, often with fewer disclosures and lower costs.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On August 24, 2026, Autonomix Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a warrant inducement offer letter (the “Inducement Letter”) with the holder (the “Holder”) of certain existing Series D-1 warrants and Series D-2 warrants issued on July 15, 2026, to purchase up to 857,462 shares of Company common stock (the “Existing Warrants”).
 
Pursuant to the Inducement Letter, the Holder agreed to exercise the Existing Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 857,462 shares of Company common stock at the original exercise price of $5.75 per Warrant Share (defined below). In consideration of the foregoing, the Company agreed to issue the Holder (i) a new Series E-1 unregistered common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 535,913 shares of Company common stock (the “New Series E-1 Warrant”) and (ii) a new Series E-2 unregistered common stock purchase warrant to purchase up to 535,913 shares of Company common stock (the “New Series E-2 Warrant” and, together with the New Series E-1 Warrant, the “New Warrants,” and the shares of Company common stock underlying the New Warrants, the “New Warrant Shares”), in each case pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), with an exercise term of 5 years from the initial exercise date.
 
The resale of the shares of Company common stock issuable upon exercise of the Existing Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) has been registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-297760). The Company anticipates receiving aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $4.9 million from the exercise of the Existing Warrants, before deducting financial advisory fees and estimated offering expenses.
 
The New Warrants are immediately exercisable and have an exercise price of $6.25 per share. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate proportional adjustment in the event of share dividends, share splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock and the exercise price. The New Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if, commencing six months after issuance, there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the New Warrants by the Holder. The Holder of a New Warrant may not exercise any such warrant to the extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% or 9.99% (at the election of the Holder) of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the Holder’s election not to exceed 9.99% (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). In the event of certain fundamental transactions, the Holder of the New Warrants will have the right to receive the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) as is being offered and paid to the holders of common stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). In addition, in the event of a fundamental transaction, the Holder of a New Series E-2 Warrant will have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company or any successor entity to purchase the New Series E-2 Warrant by paying to the Holder an amount equal to the Black Scholes value of the remaining unexercised portion of such New Series E-2 Warrant, calculated pursuant to a formula set forth therein, payable in cash if the fundamental transaction is within the Company’s control or, if the fundamental transaction is not within the Company’s control, in the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) being offered and paid to the holders of common stock. The Holder of a New Series E-1 Warrant will not have such a Black Scholes redemption right.
 
The Company also agreed to file a registration statement providing for the resale of the New Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the New Warrants (the “Resale Registration Statement”), as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of the Inducement Letter, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Resale Registration Statement declared effective within forty-five (45) calendar days following the date of the Inducement Letter (or within seventy-five (75) calendar days in the case of a limited or full review by the SEC), and to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no holder of the New Warrants owns any New Warrants or New Warrant Shares.
 

 
Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) acted as financial advisor in connection with the transaction, and the Company agreed to pay Maxim a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the total proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of the Existing Warrants and to reimburse Maxim for its reasonable expenses in an amount not to exceed $15,000.
 
The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Inducement Letter were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Inducement Letter. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants: (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to such agreements and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by stockholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the Inducement Letter is filed with this report only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transaction, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company. Information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Inducement Letter, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
 
The forms of the New Series E-1 Warrant, New Series E-2 Warrant, and Inducement Letter are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing summaries of the terms of these documents are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, such documents, which are incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
 
The Company issued the New Warrants pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act available under Section 4(a)(2). Neither the issuance of the New Warrants nor the New Warrant Shares will be registered under the Securities Act, and such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws. The description of the New Warrants under Item 1.01 of this Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
 
Item 8.01 Other Events.

Forward Looking Statements

 

Some of the statements in this release are “forward-looking statements,” which involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, the satisfaction of customary closing conditions related to the warrant transaction and the completion of the warrant transaction. Such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “should,” “might,” “may,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “expects,” “plans,” and “proposes.”

 

Although Autonomix believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the expected completion, timing and size of the warrant transaction, the intended use of proceeds from the transaction and Autonomix’s ability to file a registration statement registering the resale of the securities sold in the transaction. You are urged to carefully review and consider any cautionary statements and other disclosures, including the statements made under the heading “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 27, 2026, and from time to time, our other filings with the SEC.
