Insights

Securities Transaction Analyst

TL;DR: The company executed placement and purchase agreements with associated warrants and counsel opinion, indicating a documented capital raise.

The exhibits listed—Placement Agency Agreement, Placement Agent Warrant, Securities Purchase Agreement, and counsel opinion/consent—are standard for an equity or convertible securities placement. Presence of a placement agent and placement agent warrant suggests outside placement intermediation and potential warrant issuance to the agent. The Goodwin Procter opinion and consent imply legal clearance for the securities issuance. The filing does not disclose transaction economics, purchasers, or expected dilutive impact, so material financial effects cannot be quantified from this text alone.

Corporate Governance & Securities Counsel

TL;DR: Documented execution of definitive placement documents and counsel opinion signals a formal financing process subject to customary legal controls.

From a governance and compliance perspective, inclusion of counsel opinion and consent meets typical disclosure practices for securities offerings and supports the legal sufficiency of the instruments. The exhibit list indicates that definitive forms of the operative agreements have been executed, which is more substantive than a mere term sheet. However, absent economic terms or purchaser identities in the provided content, assessment of shareholder impact or regulatory implications is incomplete.

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 27, 2025, Cognition Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Securities Purchase Agreements”) with two institutional investors (the “Purchasers”) relating to the issuance of an aggregate of 14,700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) to such investors at a purchase price of $2.05 per share in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). The Company also entered into a Placement Agency Agreement on such date (the “Placement Agency Agreement,” and together with the Securities Purchase Agreements, the “Agreements”) with Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC (“Titan”), who is acting as the sole placement agent for the Offering.

The gross proceeds from the Offering will be approximately $30.1 million, before paying the placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses. The Offering is being made pursuant to the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-268992) previously filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 23, 2022 and declared effective on January 3, 2023. The Offering is being made only by means of a base prospectus forming a part of the effective registration statement and a prospectus supplement relating to the Offering. The Offering is expected to close on or about August 29, 2025.

In connection with the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Titan an aggregate cash fee of 7.0% of the gross proceeds raised from the sale and issuance of the shares of Common Stock minus certain expenses. Additionally, the Company agreed to issue warrants to Titan to purchase up to 514,500 shares of Common Stock (the “Placement Agent Warrants”). The Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price equal to $2.78, and will be exercisable commencing six months after the closing of the Offering with a term of five (5) years from the date of the Placement Agency Agreement. Pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement, the Company also agreed to reimburse Titan up to $100,000 for its expenses.

The Agreements contain customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and also provide for customary indemnification obligations of the Company, including the liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In connection with the Offering, the Company, pursuant to the Agreements, and each of the Company’s directors and executive officers, pursuant to certain “lock-up” agreements, have agreed not to, without the prior written consent of each of the Purchasers and Titan, sell, transfer or dispose securities of the Company for a period of 60 days following the closing of the Offering, subject to customary exceptions.

The Placement Agency Agreement, form of Placement Agent Warrant and form of Securities Purchase Agreement are filed as Exhibit 1.1, 4.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The foregoing descriptions of the respective terms of the Agreements and the Placement Agent Warrants are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to each such exhibit. A copy of the opinion of Goodwin Procter LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the securities in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
