Insights

Company raises cash via warrant exercise but adds new long-dated warrants.

Creative Medical Technology Holdings secured approximately $4.5 million of gross proceeds by incentivizing holders to exercise 2,790,340 existing warrants at a reduced $1.60 exercise price. This immediately strengthens liquidity for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In exchange, the company granted 5,580,680 new Inducement Warrants at the same exercise price. These are not exercisable until stockholders approve the underlying share issuance under Nasdaq rules and then run for five years. Actual dilution therefore depends on future approvals and exercise decisions.

Roth Capital Partners receives an 8% advisory fee on the gross proceeds plus $50,000 in legal reimbursement, modestly reducing net cash inflow. A separate $100,000 bonus to the CEO is a small, compensation-related outlay relative to the financing size and does not alter the overall capital structure.

"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On June 30, 2026, Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into warrant exercise inducement offer letters (the “Inducement Letters”) with the holders (the “Holders”) of warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,790,340 shares of the Company’s common stock originally issued on October 29, 2025 (collectively, the “Existing Warrants”), pursuant to which the Holders agreed to exercise the Existing Warrants at an exercise price of $1.60 per share, in exchange for the Company’s agreement to reduce the exercise price of the Existing Warrants from $2.86 per share, and to issue the Holders new warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5,580,680 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share (the “Inducement Warrants”). The aggregate gross proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Warrants was approximately $4.5 million, before deducting financial advisory fees. The net proceeds received by the Company will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Existing Warrants are registered for issuance pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-291713), which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 12, 2025. 

 

In consideration for the cash exercise of the Existing Warrants, the Holders were issued the Inducement Warrants in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Inducement Warrants will not be exercisable until the Company has obtained stockholder approval for the issuance of the shares of common stock underlying the Inducement Warrants as required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market, and will then be exercisable for a period of five years following the date the Company obtains such stockholder approval.

 

The Inducement Warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the Inducement Warrants offered in the private placement have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. As part of the transaction, the Company has agreed to file a resale registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC within thirty days of the closing to register the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Inducement Warrants.

 

Roth Capital Partners, LLC acted as the Company’s financial advisor in connection with the transactions described above, and will be (i) paid a financial advisory fee equal to 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the Holders’ exercise of the Existing Warrants and (ii) reimbursed an aggregate of $50,000 for its legal expenses. 

 

The foregoing description of the Inducement Letters and the Inducement Warrants does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the forms thereof, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 4.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
