Arcadia Biosciences (RKDA) registers 1.67M option shares for resale amid going concern risk

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Arcadia Biosciences, Inc. is registering for resale up to 1,673,792 shares of common stock, issuable upon exercise of preferred investment options held by existing investors and placement agents. This includes up to 1,617,190 shares from new Investment Options and 56,602 shares from Placement Agent Options.

The company will not receive proceeds from stockholder resales, but could receive up to approximately $3.94 million if all options are exercised for cash, which it plans to use for working capital and general corporate purposes. Common stock outstanding was 1,729,884 shares as of January 23, 2026, and would be 3,403,676 shares assuming full cash exercise of the Options. Arcadia now focuses on its Zola coconut water brand after selling several legacy crop-related assets, and discloses substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern without additional financing. A previously planned all-stock business combination with Roosevelt Resources, LP has been terminated.

Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary provides an overview of selected information and does not contain all of the information you should consider in making your investment decision. Therefore, you should read the entire prospectus carefully before investing in our securities. Investors should carefully consider the information set forth under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this prospectus and the other information contained in this prospectus or incorporated by reference herein.

Company Overview

The Company has leveraged its history as a leader in science-based approaches to develop high value products and drive innovation in the consumer goods industry. Previously, the Company sought to be a leader in science-based approaches to developing high value crop improvements, primarily in wheat, which it commercialized through the sales of seed, grain and food ingredients and products, and through trait licensing and royalty agreements. Currently, the Company provides consumers with a way to rehydrate, reset, and reenergize with its Zola™ brand coconut water products. Naturally hydrating and rich in electrolytes, Zola is Non-GMO Project Verified and only contains 60 calories per serving. Zola flavors include original, original with pulp, espresso, lime and pineapple.

On May 14, 2024, the Company sold its non-GMO Resistant Starch (“RS”) durum wheat trait to longtime partner Corteva Agriscience for total cash consideration of $4.0 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company retained certain rights to use the RS durum wheat trait. On May 16, 2024, the Company sold the GoodWheat™ brand and related assets to Above Food Corp. for net consideration of $3.7 million. On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with Bioceres Crop Solutions Corp. ("BIOX") pursuant to which BIOX agreed to transfer to the Company all rights and materials relating to certain soy traits that were included in licenses granted by the Company to BIOX in the November 2020 sale of Verdeca. In addition, BIOX agreed to pay a total of $750,000 to the Company. The Company agreed to transfer to BIOX all of the Company's granted patents, pending applications, related materials and documents related to the Company's reduced gluten and oxidative stability patents. In addition, the parties agreed to amend a previous agreement between the parties to eliminate any obligation to pay the Company future product royalties under the agreement.

Recent Developments

Warrant Inducement Private Placement

On January 9, 2026, we entered into inducement letter agreements (the "Inducement Letters") with certain of the Selling Stockholders (the “Participating Holders”) pursuant to which such Participating Holders agreed to exercise certain outstanding preferred investment options (the "Existing Options") to purchase an aggregate of 808,595 shares of Common Stock. The Existing Options had an exercise price of $9.00 per share and were originally issued in December 2020, January 2021, August 2022, and March 2023. Pursuant to the Inducement Letters, the Participating Holders agreed to exercise for cash the Existing Options at a reduced exercise price of $2.575 per share, in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue new preferred investment options (the "Investment Options") to purchase up to 1,617,190 shares (the "Investment Option Shares") of Common Stock. The Investment Options have an exercise price of $2.325 per share, are exercisable immediately upon issuance, and expire on the date that is 30 months following the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement described below (the “Option Termination Date”). The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Inducement Letters occurred on January 12, 2026. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.1 million from the exercise of the Existing Options by the Participating Holders, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company.

We engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC ("Wainwright" or the "Placement Agent") to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the transactions described above. In consideration for its services, we paid Wainwright a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the exercise of the Existing Options. In addition, we paid Wainwright a management fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Options and reimbursed Wainwright for certain expenses, including but not limited to $50,000 for legal expenses and $25,000 for non-accountable expenses. We also issued to Wainwright or its designees preferred placement agent investment options (the "Placement Agent Options" and together with the Investment Options, the "Options") to purchase up to 56,602 shares (the "Placement Agent Option Shares" and together with the Investment Option Shares, the "Option Shares") of Common Stock (representing 7% of the Existing Options exercised). The Placement Agent Options have substantially the same terms as the Investment Options with the exception of an exercise price of $3.2188 per share, and have a term expiring on the Option Termination Date.

3

We also agreed to file the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part (the "Resale Registration Statement"), providing for the resale of the Option Shares issuable upon exercise of the Options, as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 days after the date of the Inducement Letters and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 60 days following the date of the Inducement Letters (or within 90 days in certain circumstances), and to keep the registration statement effective at all times until no holder of Options owns any Options or Option Shares. If, at the time a holder exercises its Options, the Resale Registration Statement is not then effective or available, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to make a cashless net exercise and receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Options.

Termination of Securities Exchange Agreement

As disclosed in the reports and other materials previously filed by us with the SEC, on December 4, 2024, we entered into a Securities Exchange Agreement (as amended, the “Exchange Agreement”) with Roosevelt Resources, LP, a Texas limited partnership (“Roosevelt”), and certain other parties, providing for the combination of the two companies in an all-stock transaction (the "Exchange"), subject to a number of conditions and required actions, and on April 30, 2025, we entered into a First Amendment to the Securities Exchange Agreement. On December 24, 2025, we received a notice from Roosevelt indicating that it was terminating the Exchange Agreement with immediate effect, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement that allowed either party to terminate the Exchange Agreement if the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement had not occurred by a certain date. As a result, we are not pursuing a business combination transaction with Roosevelt.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree or risk. Prior to making a decision about investing in our Common Stock, you should consider carefully the following risk factors as well as other information we include in this prospectus, including any risks in the section entitled “Risk Factors” contained in any supplements to this prospectus or in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and in our subsequent filings with the SEC. For a description of these reports and documents, and information about where you can find them, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.” Each of the referenced risks and uncertainties could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities. Additional risks not known to us or that we believe are immaterial may also adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition and the value of an investment in our securities. In addition, our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements as a result of these and other factors. See also the statements contained under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Risks Related to this Offering

The sale of a substantial amount of our shares of Common Stock, including resale of the Shares being registered hereunder, in the public market would result in substantial dilution of our stockholders and may adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

We are registering for resale shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Investment Options and Placement Agent Options. If the Options were exercised in full and the Option Shares issued, upon issuance these shares will represent a significant number of shares of our outstanding shares of Common Stock, and if sold in the market all at once or at about the same time, could depress the market price of our Common Stock during the period the registration statement remains effective and could also affect our ability to raise equity capital. Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our Common Stock would result in significant dilution to our stockholders. Sales of such shares, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock. We cannot predict if and when the Selling Stockholders may exercise the Options and sell such Option Shares in the public markets. Furthermore, in the future, we may issue additional shares of Common Stock or other equity or debt securities convertible into shares of Common Stock. Any such issuance could result in substantial dilution to our existing shareholders and could cause our stock price to decline.

We have additional securities available for issuance, which, if issued, could adversely affect the rights of the holders of Common Stock.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation currently authorizes the issuance of 150,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. In certain circumstances, shares of Common Stock and preferred stock, as well as the awards available for issuance under our equity incentive plans, can be issued by our board of directors without stockholder approval. Any future issuances of such stock would further dilute the percentage ownership of us held by holders of Common Stock and, if any, of preferred stock. In addition, the issuance of certain securities may be used as an “anti-takeover” device without further action on the part of our stockholders, and may adversely affect the holders of the Common Stock.

We have broad discretion to determine how to use the funds raised in this offering, and may use them in ways that may not enhance our operating results or the price of the Common Stock.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds, if any, received by us from this offering resulting from any cash exercise of the Options, and we could spend the proceeds from this offering in ways our stockholders may not agree with or that do not yield a favorable return, if at all. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds” on page 8 of this prospectus. However, our use of these proceeds may differ substantially from our current plans.

We do not intend to pay any cash dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Investors should not rely on dividends to receive a return on their investment in the Common Stock.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock, and we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on Common Stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay cash dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash requirements, financial condition, legal restrictions, contractual restrictions, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. Consequently, you should not rely on dividends to receive a return on your investment.

Other Risks

There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain further financing.

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, as shown in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, incorporated by reference herein, we have an accumulated deficit, recurring net losses and net cash used in operations, and resources that will not be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements, which raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and may hinder our ability to obtain further financing. Our consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. If we cannot continue as a viable entity, we might be required to reduce or cease operations or seek dissolution and liquidation or bankruptcy protection, and our stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in us.

Statements concerning our future plans and operations are dependent on our ability to secure adequate funding and the absence of unexpected delays or adverse developments. We may not be able to secure required funding.

Any statements concerning our anticipated future events or developments or our future operations or activities are forward-looking statements that in each instance assume that we have or are able to obtain sufficient funding to support such activities and continue our operations and satisfy our liability and obligations in a timely manner. There can be no assurance that this will be the case. Also, such statements assume that there are no significant unexpected developments or events that delay or prevent such activities from occurring. Failure to timely obtain any required additional funding, or unexpected developments or events, could delay the occurrence of such events or prevent the events described in any such statements from occurring, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We will require additional financing and may not be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms, if at all, which could adversely impact our operations and ability to continue our business. Such additional funding may not be available, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and would materially and adversely affect our ability to continue operations.

We will require additional funding in the near term in order to support our operations and activities. There are no assurances that required funding will be available at all or will be available in sufficient amounts or on reasonable terms. In addition, an adverse outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings in which we are or could become involved could adversely affect our liquidity and financial position. If future financings involve the issuance of equity securities, our existing stockholders would suffer dilution. If we raise debt financing, it may involve restrictive covenants that could limit our operating flexibility. We may not be able to raise sufficient additional funds on terms that are favorable, if at all. If we fail to raise sufficient funds and continue to incur losses, our ability to continue our operations, take advantage of strategic opportunities, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures would likely be significantly limited. Delays in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, required funding would materially and adversely affect our ability to satisfy our current and future liabilities and obligations, and would materially and adversely affect our ability to continue operations. If we do not have sufficient funds to continue operations, we could be required to seek dissolution and liquidation, bankruptcy protection or other alternatives that would likely result in our stockholders losing some or all of their investment in us.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from any sale or other disposition by the Selling Stockholders of the Common Stock covered by this prospectus. All proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock will be paid directly to the Selling Stockholders. We will receive proceeds upon the cash exercise of the Options for which the underlying Option Shares are being registered hereunder. If all of the Options were exercised in full for cash, we would receive gross proceeds of approximately $3.94 million. We currently intend to use the cash proceeds from any exercise of Options for working capital and general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On January 9, 2026, we entered into the Inducement Letters with the Participating Holders pursuant to which the Participating Holders agreed to exercise the Existing Options to purchase an aggregate of 808,595 shares of Common Stock and/or Abeyance Shares (as described below). The Existing Options subject to the Inducement Letters had an exercise price of $9.00 per share and were originally issued in December 2020, January 2021, August 2022, and March 2023. Pursuant to the Inducement Letters, the Participating Holders agreed to exercise for cash the Existing Options at a reduced exercise price of $2.575 per share, in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue the new Investment Options to purchase up to 1,617,190 shares of Common Stock. The Investment Options have an exercise price of $2.325 per share, are exercisable immediately upon issuance, and expire on the date that is 30 months following the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement described below (the “Option Termination Date”). The closing of the transactions contemplated by the Inducement Letters occurred on January 12, 2026 (the "Closing Date"). The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.1 million from the exercise of the Existing Options by the Participating Holders, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. In the event that the exercise of the Existing Options would have otherwise caused a Participating Holder to exceed the beneficial ownership limitations set forth in such Participating Holder’s Existing Options (4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable), we issued to such Participating Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would not cause such Participating Holder to exceed such beneficial ownership limitation, as directed by such Participating Holder, and agreed to hold such Participating Holder’s balance of shares of Common Stock in abeyance ("Abeyance Shares") until we receive notice from such Participating Holder that the balance of shares of Common Stock may be issued in compliance with such beneficial ownership limitations, with such Abeyance Shares evidenced through such Holder's Existing Options, which Participating Holder's Existing Options deemed prepaid and may be exercised pursuant to a notice of exercise from the applicable Participating Holder.

We engaged Wainwright to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with the transactions described above. In consideration for its services, we paid Wainwright a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds received from the exercise of the Existing Options. In addition, we paid Wainwright a management fee equal to 1.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Options and reimbursed Wainwright for certain expenses, including but not limited to $50,000 for legal expenses and $25,000 for non-accountable expenses. We also issued to Wainwright or its designees the Placement Agent Options to purchase up to 56,602 Placement Agent Options Shares (representing 7% of the Existing Options being exercised). The Placement Agent Options have substantially the same terms as the Investment Options with the exception of an exercise price of $3.2188 per share, and have a term expiring on the Option Termination Date.

The Investment Options and Placement Agent Options are exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of Common Stock purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise). A holder (together with their affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the holder's Investment Options or Placement Agent Options to the extent that the holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% or 9.99% (as specified by the holder) of the outstanding Common Stock immediately after exercise (as such percentage is determined in accordance with the terms of the Investment Options and Placement Agent Options). Upon 61 days prior notice to the Company, the holder may increase or decrease the beneficial ownership limitation up to 9.99%.

We also agreed to file the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part (the "Resale Registration Statement"), providing for the resale of the Option Shares issuable upon exercise of the Options, as soon as practicable and in any event within 30 days after the date of the Inducement Letters and to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement be declared effective by the SEC within 60 days following the date of the Inducement Letters (or within 90 days in certain circumstances), and to keep the Resale Registration Statement effective at all times until no holder of the Options owns any Options or Option Shares. If, at the time a holder exercises its Option the Resale Registration Statement is not then effective or available, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to make a cashless net exercise and receive upon such exercise the net number of shares of Common Stock determined according to a formula set forth in the Options.

8

The exercise price and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Investment Options or Placement Agent Options are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, subsequent rights offerings, pro rata distributions, reorganizations, or similar events. The Investment Options and the Placement Agent Options also contain customary provisions regarding adjustment of the exercise price and treatment upon certain kinds of fundamental transactions (as defined in the Investment Options and Placement Agent Options), including provisions providing for the receipt of alternative consideration or, in certain circumstances in connection with certain kinds of fundamental transactions, the ability for a holder to cause the Company to purchase the unexercised portion of the Investment Option or Placement Agent Option from the holder by paying to the holder an amount of cash equal to the Black Scholes value (calculated as provided in in the Investment Options and Placement Agent Options) of the remaining unexercised portion of the Investment Option or Placement Agent Option.

In the Inducement Letters, the Company agreed not to issue any shares of Common Stock or common stock equivalents or to file any other registration statement with the SEC (in each case, subject to certain exceptions) until 45 days after the Closing Date. The Company also agreed not to effect or agree to effect any variable rate transaction (as defined in the Inducement Letters) until one year after the Closing Date (subject to certain exceptions). The Inducement Letters contain representations, warranties and covenants of the Company that the Company believes are typical for transactions of this type, and which were made solely for the benefit of the other signatories to the Inducement Letters. The provisions of the Inducement Letters, including the representations and warranties contained therein, are not for the benefit of any party other than the party signatories thereto and are not intended for investors or the public to obtain factual information about the current state of affairs of the parties to the Inducement Letters.

The Option Shares are being registered for resale hereunder.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The Selling Stockholders named in the table below may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplements up to 1,673,792 shares of our Common Stock.

Relationship with the Selling Stockholders

On March 2, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), including Armistice Capital Master Fund, Ltd. (“Armistice”) and Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd.

In connection with the transactions described above under the heading "Description of the Private Placement," pursuant to the Inducement Letters the Company agreed to reduce the exercise price of the March 2023 Options and the Participating Holders exercised the March 2023 Options in full.

In connection with the March 2023 Private Placement, the Company entered into an engagement letter with Wainwright pursuant to which Wainwright agreed to serve as the Company’s exclusive placement agent for certain equity financing transactions, including the March 2023 Private Placement.

These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling Shares:

•ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

•block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

•purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

•an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

•privately negotiated transactions;

•settlement of short sales;

•in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such Shares at a stipulated price per share;

•through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

•a combination of any such methods of sale; or

•any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell Shares under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act if available, rather than under this prospectus.

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of Shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121, and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.

In connection with the sale of the Shares or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell Shares short and deliver these Shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these Shares. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Shares offered by this prospectus, which Shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the Shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the Shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Shares.

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the Shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part effective until the Selling Stockholders no longer hold any Options or Option Shares that are offered hereunder. The Shares of Common Stock offered hereunder will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the Common Stock covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or

qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the Shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
