Pre-Funded Warrant financial
"Each Pre-Funded Warrant is exercisable for one Share at an exercise price of $0.01 per Share."
A pre-funded warrant is a financial instrument that gives the holder the right to buy shares of a company's stock at a set price, with most of the purchase cost already paid upfront. It functions like a nearly fully paid option, allowing investors to secure shares quickly while minimizing the amount of additional money they need to invest later. This helps investors gain ownership rights efficiently, often used to avoid certain regulatory restrictions or to prepare for future stock purchases.
