Qualigen changes name to AIxCrypto, wins vote on new share issuances

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Qualigen Therapeutics, Inc. reported that it has amended its charter in Delaware to change its corporate name to AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. The company expects its common stock to stop trading under the ticker “QLGN” and begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new symbol “AIXC” as promptly as possible. The name change does not alter the rights of existing stockholders.

At a 2025 special meeting, holders of approximately 60.17% of the voting stock were present, and a majority approved several key proposals. Stockholders approved a Subscription Agreement covering the private placement of 337,432 common shares and 39,943 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the issuance of common shares upon conversion of that preferred stock in excess of a 19.99% share exchange cap, the company’s 2025 Equity Incentive Plan, and the ability to adjourn or postpone the meeting.

Insights

Equity Capital Markets Analyst

Name change and financing approvals support future capital structure moves.

The company, currently known as Qualigen Therapeutics, Inc., has adopted the new name AIxCrypto Holdings, Inc. and plans to change its Nasdaq ticker from QLGN to AIXC. This rebranding shifts the public identity without changing existing stockholder rights, but it may signal a strategic focus that will be clarified through future disclosures.

Stockholders approved a Subscription Agreement covering a private placement of 337,432 common shares and 39,943 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, along with related transactions. They also authorized issuing common shares upon conversion of the preferred stock in excess of a 19.99% share exchange cap under Nasdaq Rule 5635(d), which permits a potential increase in the common share count. Approval of the 2025 Equity Incentive Plan adds another tool for equity-based compensation, and the adjournment proposal gives flexibility in managing future meetings.

Each proposal passed by a wide margin, with votes for Proposal 1 at 3,268,951 versus 13,149 against, and similarly strong support for the other items. The actual impact on ownership percentages and future capital structure will depend on how and when the preferred shares are converted and how the equity incentive plan is used in subsequent periods.
