Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Sands Capital Life Sciences Pulse Fund II, L.P., together with related entities and Frank M. Sands, reports beneficial ownership of 13,018,965 shares of Inhibikase Therapeutics, Inc. common stock, representing 9.3% of the class based on 139,535,900 shares outstanding as of August 4, 2026. The shares are held with shared voting and dispositive power among the reporting persons.

The group also holds a Series A-1 warrant for 5,475,000 shares and a Series B-1 warrant for 10,068,120 shares, acquired under an October 9, 2024 securities purchase agreement. These warrants are not included in the reported ownership because they are not exercisable within 60 days and are subject to a 19.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which restricts exercises that would push ownership above that level. Each reporting person and the related general partners disclaim beneficial ownership beyond their pecuniary interest.

beneficial ownership financial
"The Reporting Persons each disclaim beneficial ownership of any securities beyond its pecuniary interest"
Beneficial ownership means the person or entity that actually enjoys the benefits of owning shares or other assets — such as receiving dividends, voting rights, or price gains — even if the legal title is held in another name. For investors it matters because knowing who truly controls and profits from a company reveals who can influence decisions, exposes potential conflicts of interest or hidden concentration of power, and affects transparency and risk in the stock.
Series A-1 warrant financial
"does not include a Series A-1 warrant to purchase 5,475,000 shares of Common Stock"
Series B-1 warrant financial
"or a Series B-1 warrant to purchase 10,068,120 shares of Common Stock"
beneficial ownership limitation financial
"will not have the right to exercise any portion of such warrant if such holder... would beneficially own in excess of 19.99%"
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.
Warrant Initial Registration Statement regulatory
"the initial filing date of the registration statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Series A-1 warrants and Series B-1 warrants"
Initial Exercise Date financial
"The Series B-1 Warrant is exercisable on the Initial Exercise Date"
