Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. filed an amended current report to correct drafting mistakes in its previously disclosed MindWave Innovations merger and related preferred stock designation. The Merger Agreement is revised to remove provisions that had incorrectly given MindWave the right to appoint directors, to set the Common Stock Cap at 0% of Apimeds common shares, and to state that Series A preferred stock issued to existing MindWave holders will represent 90.9% of Apimeds’ fully diluted equity. The company also corrects its Certificate of Designation so that 7,477,017 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock are designated, instead of 7,263,865. In addition, Apimeds discloses Amendment No. 1 to a Securities Purchase Agreement covering up to $120,900,000 of senior convertible notes, clarifying variable-rate transaction restrictions, expanding investor notification rights for other funding events, and extending the deadline for the Initial Closing.

Insights

Equity structure and financing analyst

Apimeds clarifies post-merger control and refinances via large convertible notes.

The update confirms that holders of existing MindWave common stock are to receive Series A preferred representing 90.9% of Apimeds’ fully diluted equity, while the Common Stock Cap is set at 0% of outstanding common as of the Merger Agreement date. This clarifies that post-transaction control is intended to sit predominantly with the preferred holders rather than through common stock issuance.

The correction to designate 7,477,017 Series A Convertible Preferred shares, instead of 7,263,865, aligns the charter language with the revised economic terms. Alongside this, Apimeds maintains a sizeable financing plan through senior convertible notes with up to $120,900,000 in aggregate principal, issued at an original issue discount over a 24‑month period.

Amendment No. 1 to the Securities Purchase Agreement tightens mechanics: it clarifies how long Apimeds is restricted from variable rate transactions, broadens investor notification rights for other funding events, and extends the deadline to complete the Initial Closing. Subsequent company disclosures around closing of the merger and note draws will show how these clarified terms translate into actual capitalization and leverage.

What does Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. (APUS) change in the MindWave merger terms?

Apimeds removes Sections 2.05(b) and 2.05(d) that had incorrectly given the Company the right to appoint directors and revises Section 3.01(b) so the Common Stock Cap is 0% of outstanding common shares as of the Merger Agreement date and Series A preferred issued to existing MindWave holders equals 90.9% of Apimeds’ fully diluted equity.

Did Apimeds (APUS) change board appointment rights in the merger documents?

Section 3.01(b) is revised so the Common Stock Cap is 0% of total Apimeds common shares outstanding on the Merger Agreement date and the Series A preferred stock issued to existing MindWave common holders represents 90.9% of the fully diluted equity of Apimeds.

What is the size and nature of Apimeds (APUS) senior convertible notes financing?

Does the Apimeds (APUS) 8-K/A change other material terms of the merger or financing?

The company states that aside from correcting scrivener’s errors in the Merger Agreement and Certificate of Designation and detailing Amendment No. 1 to the Securities Purchase Agreement, no other material terms or disclosures from the original report are amended.

Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Amendment”) originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 2, 2025 (the “Original Report”) is being filed solely to correct scrivener’s errors contained in (i) the Agreement and Plan of Merger previously disclosed, and (ii) the Certificate of Designation filed in connection therewith. The errors were clerical in nature and did not reflect the intent of the parties.

The corrected Agreement and Plan of Merger and the corrected Certificate of Designation are being filed as exhibits to this Amendment to reflect the correct language. No other material terms of the transaction or disclosures in the Original Report are being amended.

1

Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Merger Agreement

As previously disclosed, on December 1, 2025, Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Acquiror”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with (i) Apimeds Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (ii) MindWave Innovations Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), (iii) Lokahi Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and (iv) Erik Emerson, solely in his capacity as representative for the Bio Business. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below are defined in the Merger Agreement.

The Acquiror subsequently determined that the Merger Agreement contained a scrivener’s error with respect to the inclusion of Sections 2.05(b) and 2.05(d), and the language in Section 3.01(b), which did not accurately reflect the agreement of the parties.

Sections 2.05(b) and 2.05(d) and any cross references to such sections were incorrectly included in the Merger Agreement, since the Company did not have the right to appoint directors in connection with the Merger Agreement. Sections 2.05(b) and 2.05(d) have been removed together with all cross references to such sections.

In Section 3.01(b) of the Merger Agreement, (i) the Common Stock Cap was incorrectly listed as 29.9% of the total number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the Acquiror Preferred Stock issuable to the holders of Existing Company Common Stock was incorrectly listed as equal to 61% of the total issued and outstanding equity securities of the Acquiror (exclusive of the Acquiror Common Stock issued and calculated on a fully diluted basis). Section 3.01(b) of the Merger Agreement now states that (i) the Common Stock Cap is equal to 0% of the total number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the date of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) the Acquiror Preferred Stock issuable to holders of Existing Company Common Stock is equal to 90.9% of the total issued and outstanding equity securities of the Acquiror (calculated on a fully diluted basis).

The Acquiror is filing the corrected Merger Agreement as Exhibit 2.1 to this Amendment. No other material terms of the Merger Agreement are amended or modified.

2

Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement

As previously disclosed, on December 1, 2025, the Acquiror entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor (the “Investor”), pursuant to which the Acquiror agreed to issue senior convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of up to $120,900,000 at an 8% original issue discount over a 24-month period.

On December 8, 2025, the Acquiror and the Investor entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Securities Purchase Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”), under which the parties (i) clarified how long the Acquiror is prohibited from entering into a variable rate transaction, (ii) expanded the notification rights of the Investor if another funding event occurs, and (iii) extended the date for the Acquiror to complete the Initial Closing (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).

The foregoing summary of Amendment No. 1 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by this reference.

Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The information set forth in Item 5.03 of this Amendment is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

The Company also determined that the Certificate of Designation filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on December 1, 2025, in connection with the Merger Agreement contained a scrivener’s error regarding the number of shares of Acquiror Preferred Stock designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.”

The Certificate of Designation previously stated that there were 7,263,865 shares of Acquiror Preferred Stock designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock”. The correct number of shares of Acquiror Preferred Stock designated as “Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” is 7,477,017.

A corrected Certificate of Designation has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and is also being filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Amendment.
