Traws Pharma proposes 1-for-8 to 1-for-15 reverse split

Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid-price requirement remains unmet, with a compliance deadline of January 25, 2027.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Traws Pharma, Inc. asks stockholders at its December 3, 2026 special meeting to authorize a 1-for-8 to 1-for-15 reverse split of common stock. If approved, the board could set the ratio and implement the split within 12 months after approval, without another stockholder vote, or abandon it. The company identifies Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid-price requirement as one main reason for the proposal.

Traws Pharma received a Nasdaq deficiency notice after its closing bid price was below $1.00 for at least 30 consecutive business days and has until January 25, 2027 to regain compliance. The company says its stock could be delisted if stockholders reject the proposal and that a split would not assure continued listing. Authorized common shares would remain at 250,000,000; future issuance of authorized shares could dilute existing holders. The board recommends voting for both proposals, including adjournment to solicit additional proxies if needed.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Filing Explained

The split itself would not change holders’ percentage ownership, except for fractional-share rounding, but would leave 250 million common shares authorized while reducing outstanding shares to 1,921,035 at 1-for-8 or 1,024,552 at 1-for-15. This would increase authorized but unissued shares available for later issuance; the proxy reports no definitive issuance plans.

Key Terms

reverse stock split, Bid Price Requirement, broker non-vote, fractional shares, +1 more

5 terms

reverse stock split financial

"effect a reverse stock split of all of our issued and outstanding shares"

A reverse stock split reduces a company's number of outstanding shares while raising the price per share proportionally, so the total value of each investor's holding is unchanged; a 1-for-10 split turns 100 shares worth $1 each into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to regain compliance with an exchange's minimum price rule or to attract investors who avoid very low-priced stocks.

Bid Price Requirement regulatory

"minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on Nasdaq"

A bid price requirement is a rule that specifies the minimum price a buyer must offer per share when making an official purchase proposal, tender offer, auction bid, or similar transaction. It matters to investors because it sets a floor for negotiations and valuation—like a reserve price in an auction—ensuring bids meet regulatory, contract or market standards and helping shareholders and markets judge whether an offer is fair or likely to succeed.

broker non-vote regulatory

"What is a “broker non-vote” and how are they counted?"

A broker non-vote happens when a brokerage firm holds shares in street name for a client but does not cast a ballot on a particular shareholder item because the broker lacks discretionary authority to vote that matter. Think of it like a person who owns a ticket but the ticket-holder refuses to vote on some issues; the share counts for ownership but not for that vote, which can affect whether proposals reach the required number of votes or a quorum.

fractional shares financial

"fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable as a result of the Reverse Split"

Fractional shares are portions of a whole share of a stock or fund, allowing investors to own less than one full unit. They make it possible to invest a specific dollar amount rather than buy whole shares, like buying a slice of a pizza instead of the entire pie. For investors this lowers the cost barrier, helps with diversification, and lets you reinvest dividends or purchase expensive stocks in small, precise amounts.

additional paid in capital financial

"the additional paid in capital account will be credited"

Additional paid-in capital is the amount investors paid for a company's shares that exceeds the stock's nominal legal value when the shares were issued; it represents extra cash the company received from selling equity beyond that small printed value. Investors care because it is a form of permanent capital on the balance sheet that can absorb losses or fund growth; think of it like paying extra for upgrades on a house that increases the owner's financial cushion and reported book value per share.

FAQ

AI-generated questions and answers. How Rhea-AI works. Not financial advice.

What reverse split ratio is Traws Pharma (TRAW) proposing?

The proposal would authorize a reverse split between 1-for-8 and 1-for-15. If stockholders approve, the board could select the exact ratio and implement it within 12 months after approval without another stockholder vote; the board may also abandon the split.

When is the TRAW reverse split vote, and what vote is needed?

Stockholders will vote at the virtual special meeting on December 3, 2026. Approval requires affirmative votes from holders of a majority of votes cast for and against the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome.

How would Traws Pharma (TRAW) handle fractional shares in a reverse split?

Any fractional share otherwise issuable would be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Stockholders would not receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be held on December 3, 2026

Dear Stockholder:

Notice is hereby given that the 2026 Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Traws Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) will be held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, December 3, 2026.

We have adopted a virtual format for our Special Meeting to provide a consistent and convenient experience to all stockholders, regardless of location. There will not be a physical meeting location, and stockholders will not be able to attend the Special Meeting in person. You may attend the Special Meeting virtually via the Internet at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TRAW2026SM, where you will be able to vote electronically and submit questions for management’s consideration. You may also attend the Special Meeting and submit your vote by proxy and may submit questions ahead of the Special Meeting through the designated website. For further information, please see the Questions and Answers about the Special Meeting beginning on the third page of the accompanying Proxy Statement. The purposes of the Special Meeting are as follows:

1.

To grant discretionary authority to our Board of Directors (the “Board”) to amend our Tenth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-8 and not greater than 1-for-15, such ratio to be determined by our Board at any time within twelve months from the date that stockholder approval is obtained, without further approval or authorization of our stockholders;

​

2.

To approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to another place, or a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event we have not received sufficient votes in favor of any of the foregoing proposals; and

​

3.

To transact such other business as may properly come before the Special Meeting or any adjournments or postponements thereof.

​

The above matters are more fully discussed in the proxy statement accompanying this Notice. Action may be taken on any one of the foregoing proposals at the Special Meeting on the date specified above or on any date or dates to which the meeting may be postponed or adjourned. We do not expect to transact any other business at the Special Meeting.

Our Board has approved each of the foregoing proposals and recommends that you vote “For” each of the proposals.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on October 6, 2026 (the “Record Date”) as the record date for determining those stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof. Accordingly, only stockholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting. A complete list of our stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for examination by any of our stockholders for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting during normal business hours for a period of 10 days prior to the Special Meeting.

We have elected to provide access to our proxy materials primarily electronically via the Internet, pursuant to the “Notice and Access” method regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We

Table of Contents

believe this method expedites our stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, conserves natural resources and significantly reduces the costs of the Special Meeting. On or about October 20, 2026, we are mailing a one-page Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to each of our shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting, which contains instructions for accessing the attached Proxy Statement, as well as voting instructions. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also includes instructions on how you can receive a paper copy of your proxy materials.

We cordially invite you to virtually attend the Special Meeting. Whether or not you are able to attend the Special Meeting, it is important that your shares be represented. To ensure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting, we urge you to vote your shares promptly by proxy over the Internet, by phone, or by mail by following the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials you received in the mail, or, if you requested to receive printed proxy materials, you may vote by marking, dating, and signing the enclosed proxy card and returning it in the postage-paid envelope provided.

We encourage you to do so even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting virtually. This will not limit your right to virtually attend or vote at the Special Meeting, but will help to secure a quorum and avoid added solicitation costs. You may revoke your proxy at any time before it has been voted at the Special Meeting.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Special Meeting to be Held on December 3, 2026. This Notice and the accompanying Proxy Statement will be available on or about October 20, 2026 on our website at www.trawspharma.com.

How do I vote?

If you are a “stockholder of record,” meaning you have a stock certificate or hold your shares in an account with our transfer agent, we are sending the Notice or Proxy Materials, as applicable, directly to you. As the stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by voting over the Internet, by telephone, by returning your completed proxy card (if you received a printed copy of our Proxy Materials) or by submitting your vote during the Special Meeting, as follows:

​

•

Over the Internet:   To vote over the Internet, please follow the instructions on the Notice or proxy card that you received in the mail for submitting your proxy electronically. If you vote over the Internet, you do not need to vote your proxy by telephone or by mail. You must specify how you want your shares voted or your Internet vote cannot be completed, and you will receive an error message. You must submit your Internet proxy no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 2, 2026 for your proxy to be valid and your vote to count.

​

​

•

By Telephone:   To vote by telephone, please follow the instructions on the Notice or proxy card that you received in the mail. If you vote by telephone, you do not need to vote your proxy over the Internet or by mail. You must specify how you want your shares voted and confirm your vote at the end of the call or your telephone vote cannot be completed. You must submit your telephonic proxy no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on December 2, 2026 for your proxy to be valid and your vote to count.

​

​

•

If you vote by mail, you do not need to vote your proxy over the Internet or by telephone. Your proxy card must be received no later than the time the polls close on December 3, 2026 for your proxy to be valid and your vote to count. If you return your proxy card but do not specify how you want your shares voted on any particular matter, they will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board.

​

​

•

At the Special Meeting:   To vote during the Special Meeting, attend the Special Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/TRAW2026SM, where stockholders may vote and submit questions during the Special Meeting. The meeting starts at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Please have your 16-Digit Control Number to join the Special Meeting. Instructions on how to attend and vote online during the Special Meeting, including how to demonstrate your stock ownership, are posted at www.proxyvote.com.

​

If your shares are held in “street name,” meaning your shares are held in an account at a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee holder, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker or other nominee who is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank, broker or other nominee on how to vote your shares and to participate in the Special Meeting. You should receive a proxy card and voting instructions with the proxy materials from that organization rather than from us. You will receive instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee explaining how you can vote your shares, whether they permit Internet or telephone voting, and what the deadlines for voting are. Follow the instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee included with the proxy materials, or contact your bank, broker or other nominee to request a proxy form. We encourage you to provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee by giving your proxy to them. This ensures that your shares will be voted at the Special Meeting according to your instructions.

How do I change my vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the vote is taken at the Special Meeting. To do so, you must do one of the following:

1.

Vote over the Internet or by telephone as instructed above. Only your latest Internet or telephone vote is counted.

​

2.

Sign, date and return a new proxy card. Only your latest dated and timely received proxy card will be counted.

​

3.

Attend the Special Meeting and vote as instructed above. Attending the Special Meeting will not alone revoke your Internet or telephone vote or proxy card submitted by mail, as the case may be.

​

Table of Contents​​​​​

If your shares are held in “street name,” you may submit new voting instructions by contacting your broker or other nominee. If you hold your shares in street name and wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you will need to obtain a “legal proxy” from your broker or other nominee in order to vote at the Special Meeting.

How is a quorum reached?

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended (our “Bylaws”) provide that 331∕3% of the shares entitled to vote, present at the Special Meeting or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting.

Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”), shares that are voted “abstain” or “withheld” and “broker non-votes” ​(if any) are counted as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. If a quorum is not present, the Special Meeting may be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

What proposals will be voted on at the Special Meeting?

There are two proposals scheduled to be voted on at the meeting:

•

Proposal No. 1 — To grant discretionary authority to our Board to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of all of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-8 and not greater than 1-for-15, such ratio to be determined by our Board at any time within twelve months from the date that stockholder approval is obtained, without further approval or authorization of our stockholders; and

​

•

Proposal No. 2 — To approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to another place, or a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in the event we have not received sufficient votes in favor of any of the foregoing proposals.

​

What vote is required to approve each proposal at the Special Meeting?

For each of the proposals being presented for stockholder approval at the Special Meeting, you may vote “for,” “against” or “abstain” such proposal. Under our Bylaws, any proposal, other than an election of directors, is decided by a majority of the votes properly cast for and against such proposal, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the rules of any stock exchange upon which our securities are listed, or by our Certificate of Incorporation, or our Bylaws.

•

Proposal No. 1 — The affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock representing a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively on the matter, and entitled to vote on the subject matter thereof, is required for the approval of Proposal No. 1. Broker non-votes (if any) and abstentions will not be counted as votes cast on the matter and will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.

Proposal No. 2 — If a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, the affirmative vote of the holders of shares of common stock representing a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively on the matter, and entitled to vote on the subject matter thereof, is required for the approval of Proposal No. 2. If a quorum is not present, the Special Meeting may be adjourned until a quorum is obtained.

Do I have dissenters’ or appraisal rights?

Our stockholders are not entitled to dissenters’ or appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to any of the proposals being voted on.

How are votes counted?

If you are a stockholder of record, you have the right to direct the voting of your shares by voting over the Internet, by telephone, by completing and returning your proxy card or by voting during the Special Meeting. In contrast, if you are a beneficial owner and your shares are held in an account at a bank or at a brokerage firm or other nominee hold, you must tell your bank, broker or other nominee how you would like your shares to be voted, which you can do by following the instructions provided to you by the bank, broker or other nominee.

Table of Contents​​​​​​

If you provide specific instructions with regard to a proposal, your shares will be voted as you instruct on such proposal. If you sign your proxy card without giving specific instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board (“For” Proposal Nos. 1 and 2, and in the discretion of the proxy holder on any other matters that properly come before the Special Meeting).

What is a “broker non-vote” and how are they counted?

A broker non-vote occurs when a beneficial owner of shares held in street name does not give instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares as to how to vote on matters deemed “non-routine.” Generally, if shares are held in street name, the beneficial owner of the shares is entitled to give voting instructions to the broker or nominee holding the shares. If the beneficial owner does not provide voting instructions, the broker or nominee can still vote the shares with respect to matters that are considered to be “routine,” but not with respect to “non-routine” matters. Under the rules and interpretations of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), “non-routine” matters are generally those involving a contest or a matter that may substantially affect the rights or privileges of stockholders. The determination of which proposals are deemed “routine” versus “non-routine” may not be made by the NYSE until after the date on which this proxy statement has been mailed to you. As such, it is important that you provide voting instructions to your bank, broker or other nominee, in order to ensure that your shares are voted. The shares that cannot be voted by brokers and other nominees on non-routine matters but are represented at the Special Meeting will be deemed present at our Special Meeting for purposes of determining whether the necessary quorum exists to proceed with the Special Meeting, but will not be considered entitled to vote on the non-routine proposals.

We believe that under applicable rules, Proposal Nos. 1 and 2 are considered routine matters for which brokerage firms may vote shares that are held in the name of brokerage firms and which are not voted by the applicable beneficial owners. Accordingly, if you do not instruct your broker or nominee to vote your shares, the broker or other nominee may either (a) vote your shares on routine matters, or (b) leave your shares unvoted altogether. If Proposal Nos. 1 and 2 are treated as routine matters, as expected, we do not expect to receive any broker non-votes with respect to Proposal Nos. 1 and 2.

For each of the proposals, broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast on the matter and will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal.

How are abstentions counted?

If your vote indicates an abstention from voting on a proposal, such abstention will not be counted as a vote cast on the matter and will have no effect on the outcome of the proposal. If you return a proxy card that indicates an abstention from voting on all matters, the shares represented will still be counted for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

Who will count the vote?

The votes will be counted, tabulated and certified by an Inspector of Elections appointed by the Board.

What should I do if I receive more than one Notice and/or set of Proxy Materials?

If you receive more than one Notice and/or set of Proxy Materials, your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. Please follow the instructions on each Notice or proxy card you receive to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

How does the Board recommend that I vote on the proposals?

Our Board recommends that you vote “For” each of Proposal Nos. 1 and 2.

Who pays the cost for soliciting proxies?

We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies. Following the original mailing of the soliciting materials, we and our agents, including directors, officers and other employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies by mail, electronic mail, telephone, facsimile, by other similar means, or in person. Following the original mailing of the soliciting materials, we will request brokers, custodians, nominees and other record

holders to forward copies of the soliciting materials to persons for whom they hold shares and to request authority for the exercise of proxies. In such cases, we, upon the request of the record holders, will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses. If you choose to access the proxy materials and/or vote through the Internet, you are responsible for any Internet access charges you may incur.

How can I know the voting results?

We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Special Meeting and will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed with the SEC within four business days following the Special Meeting.

Implications of Being a “Smaller Reporting Company”

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined under Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements. These reduced reporting requirements include reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements.

PROPOSAL 1

APPROVAL OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT AUTHORIZATION

Overview

On October 6, 2026, the Company’s Board unanimously approved, and declared the advisability of, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect, at the discretion of our Board, a reverse stock split of all of our outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Split”) by combining outstanding shares of our common stock into a lesser number of outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of not less than 1-for-8 and not greater than 1-for-15 at any time within twelve months from the date that stockholder approval is obtained, if ever, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by our Board, at its sole discretion without further stockholder approval (the “Reverse Split Authorization”). The Board may alternatively elect to abandon such proposed amendment and not effect the Reverse Split authorized by our stockholders, in its sole discretion. Upon the effectiveness of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation effecting the Reverse Split, the outstanding shares of our common stock will be reclassified and combined into a lesser number of shares such that one share of our common stock will be issued for a specified number of shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of the Reverse Split in accordance with the specific ratio determined by the Board, as described herein. The proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split, a form of which is included as Appendix B hereto, and as more fully described below, will effect the Reverse Split but will not change the number of shares of common stock or preferred stock authorized for issuance under our Certificate of Incorporation, or the par value of our common stock or preferred stock. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, other than as described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, there are no definitive plans, arrangements, agreements or understandings for the issuance of the additional authorized but unissued shares of common stock that would be created by the Reverse Split, if implemented.

If this Proposal No. 1 is approved by our stockholders as proposed, our Board would have the sole discretion to effect the Reverse Split at any time within twelve months from the date that stockholder approval is obtained, if ever, and to fix the specific ratio for the Reverse Split, provided that the ratio would be not less than 1-for-8 and not greater than 1-for-15. We believe that enabling our Board to fix the specific ratio of the Reverse Split within the stated range will provide us with the flexibility to implement the Reverse Split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for our stockholders. The determination of the ratio of the Reverse Split will be based on a number of factors, described further below under the heading “Criteria to be Used for Decision to Apply the Reverse Split.”

As discussed in additional detail below, one of the main purposes of effectuating the Reverse Split is to satisfy the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed July 31, 2026, on July 29, 2026, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department notifying the Company that, for at least the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock was trading below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on Nasdaq, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has been provided 180 calendar days, or until January 25, 2027 (the “Initial Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. We may request an extension to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement on or before the Initial Compliance Date, as permitted by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(3)(A)(ii). Additionally, if the closing bid price of our common stock is $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. In the event that we receive such a delisting notice, we expect that we will submit an appeal and request for a hearing to contest such determination. Given the current price of our common stock on Nasdaq, we expect that we will implement the Reverse Split shortly after receiving stockholder approval thereof in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If stockholders do not approve this Proposal No. 1, we will not be able to implement the Reverse Split and our common stock could be delisted from Nasdaq.

In light of the recent closing prices of our common stock on the Nasdaq, volatility of our stock price, changing conditions in the capital markets, the extended time frame in which the Reverse Split decision may

Table of Contents​​

be made and other factors relevant to the timing and extent of the Reverse Split, the Board believes that stockholder approval of a range of reverse split ratios from 1-for-8 to 1-for-15 is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Reverse Split, if the Reverse Split Authorization is approved by our stockholders, would become effective upon the filing of an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or at the later time set forth in such amendment. A copy of the proposed Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect the Reverse Split is attached hereto as Appendix B, and we urge you to read Appendix B in its entirety before casting your vote. The exact timing of the amendment will be determined by our Board based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to us and our stockholders, but will not occur after twelve months from the date that stockholder approval is obtained, if ever. In addition, our Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by our stockholders, to abandon the amendment and the Reverse Split if, at any time prior to the effectiveness of the filing of the amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State, our Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer necessary or in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders to proceed.

In evaluating the Reverse Split, our Board also took into consideration negative factors associated with reverse stock splits. These factors include the negative perception of reverse stock splits held by many investors, analysts and other stock market participants, as well as the fact that the stock price of some companies that have effected reverse stock splits has subsequently declined back to pre-reverse stock split levels. Our Board, however, determined that these potential negative factors were significantly outweighed by the potential benefits, including, chiefly, maintaining a Nasdaq listing, and believes that increasing the per share market price of our common stock as a result of the Reverse Split may encourage greater interest in our common stock and enhance the acceptability and marketability of our common stock to the financial community and investing public as well as promote greater liquidity for our stockholders.

Criteria to be Used for Decision to Apply the Reverse Split

If our stockholders approve the Reverse Split Authorization, our Board will be authorized to proceed with implementing the Reverse Split. In determining whether to proceed with the Reverse Split and setting the exact ratio of the split, our Board will consider a number of factors, including existing and expected marketability and liquidity of our common stock, prevailing market conditions, the Nasdaq listing requirements, the likely effect on the market price of our common stock, and our capitalization (including the number of shares of common stock issued and outstanding). Notwithstanding approval of the Reverse Split Authorization by our stockholders, the Board may, in its sole discretion, abandon the proposed amendment and determine prior to the effectiveness of any filing with the Delaware Secretary of State not to effectuate the Reverse Split. If the Board fails to implement the Reverse Split before twelve months from the date that stockholder approval is obtained, if ever, further stockholder approval would be required prior to implementing any reverse stock split.

Effect of the Reverse Split

The Reverse Split, if approved by our stockholders and implemented by our Board, will be effected simultaneously for all outstanding shares of our common stock. The Reverse Split will affect all of our stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Split results in any of our stockholders owning a fractional share. The Reverse Split will not change the terms of our common stock, and will not change the number of shares of capital stock authorized for issuance under our Certificate of Incorporation. After the Reverse Split, the shares of common stock will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the common stock now authorized, which is not entitled to preemptive or subscription rights, and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions. The post-Reverse Split common stock will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Reverse Split is not intended as, and will not have the effect of, a “going private transaction” covered by Rule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Following the Reverse Split, we will continue to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. After the Reverse Split, if implemented in accordance with Nasdaq rules, our common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “TRAW.”

As of the effective time of the Reverse Split, we will adjust and proportionately decrease the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise and conversion of, and adjust and proportionately increase the exercise and conversion price of all outstanding options, warrants, and other rights to acquire our common stock. In addition, as of the effective time of the Reverse Split, we will adjust and proportionately decrease the total number of shares of our common stock that may be the subject of future grants under our 2021 Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended and restated and further amended, the “Plan”).

As noted above, the Reverse Split will not change the number of authorized shares of our preferred stock. As of September 30, 2026, there were 15,368,277 shares of our preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Assuming reverse stock split ratios of 1-for-8 and 1-for-15, which reflect the low and high end of the range that our stockholders are being asked to approve, the following table, which is provided for illustrative purposes only, sets forth approximate information regarding (i) the number of shares of common stock that would be authorized for issuance under our Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) the number of shares of our common stock that would be issued and outstanding, (iii) the number of shares of our common stock that would be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Plan, (iv) the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants issued outside of the Plan, and (v) the per share price of our common stock, based on the closing price of our common stock on September 30, 2026 ($0.59 per share), each giving effect to the Reverse Split without taking into account the treatment of fractional shares and based on securities outstanding as of September 30, 2026.

If this Proposal No. 1 is approved and our Board elects to effect the Reverse Split, the number of outstanding shares of common stock will be reduced in proportion to the ratio of the split chosen by our Board. Accordingly, if the Reverse Split is effected, the number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance under our Certificate of Incorporation will effectively be proportionally increased relative to the number of outstanding shares post-Reverse Split.

Additionally, if this Proposal No. 1 is approved and our Board elects to effect the Reverse Split, we would communicate to the public, prior to the effective date of the Reverse Split, additional details regarding the Reverse Split, including the specific ratio selected by our Board. If the Board does not implement the Reverse Split within twelve months from the date that stockholder approval is obtained, if ever, the authority granted in this Proposal No. 1 to implement the Reverse Split will automatically terminate.

After the effective date of the Reverse Split, our common stock will have a new committee on uniform securities identification procedures (“CUSIP”) number, a number used to identify our common stock.

The increase in the number of shares of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock will have an “anti-takeover effect” by permitting the issuance of shares to purchasers who might oppose a hostile takeover bid or oppose any efforts to amend or repeal certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation. The increased number of available authorized but unissued shares of common stock as a result of the Reverse Split would give the Company’s management more flexibility to resist or impede a third-party takeover bid that provides an above-market premium that is favored by a majority of the independent stockholders. Any such anti-takeover effect of a reverse stock split would be in addition to existing anti-takeover provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. Our Board is not presently aware of any attempt, or

10

Table of Contents​​

contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company and the Reverse Split is not part of any plan by our Board to recommend or implement a series of anti-takeover measures.

Our directors and executive officers have no substantial interests, directly or indirectly, in the matters set forth in this proposed amendment, except to the extent of their ownership in shares of our common stock and securities convertible or exercisable for common stock.

Certain Risks and Potential Disadvantages Associated with the Reverse Split

The effect of the Reverse Split upon the market prices for our common stock cannot be accurately predicted, and the history of similar reverse stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied. If the Reverse Split is implemented, the post-split market price of our common stock may be less than the pre-Reverse Split price multiplied by the Reverse Split ratio.

In addition, a reduction in number of shares of our common stock outstanding may impair the liquidity for our common stock, which may reduce the value of our common stock. Also, some stockholders may consequently own less than one hundred shares of our common stock. A purchase or sale of less than one hundred shares may result in incrementally higher trading costs through certain brokers, particularly “full service” brokers. Therefore, those stockholders who own less than one hundred shares following the Reverse Split may be required to pay modestly higher transaction costs should they then determine to sell their shares.

In addition, although we believe the Reverse Split may enhance the desirability of our common stock to certain potential investors, we cannot assure stockholders that, if implemented, our common stock will be more attractive to institutional and other long term investors or that the liquidity of our common stock will increase since there would be a reduced number of shares outstanding after the Reverse Split.

Even if our stockholders approve the Reverse Split Authorization and the Reverse Split is effected, there can be no assurance that our common stock will not be delisted prior to the date that we are able to effect the Reverse Split or that we will subsequently meet and continue to meet the listing requirements of Nasdaq or any other national exchange.

Although the Reverse Split will not, by itself, have any immediate dilutive effect on our stockholders, the proportion of shares owned by stockholders relative to the number of shares authorized for issuance will decrease because the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under our Certificate of Incorporation would remain unchanged. As a result, additional authorized shares of common stock would become available for issuance at such times, and for such purposes, as the Board may deem advisable without further action by stockholders, except as required by applicable law or stock exchange rules. To the extent that additional authorized shares of our common stock are issued in the future, such shares would be dilutive to existing stockholders of the Company by decreasing such stockholders’ percentage of equity ownership in the Company.

Procedure for Effecting the Reverse Split and Exchange of Stock Certificates

If our stockholders approve the Reverse Split Authorization, and if our Board still believes that a reverse stock split is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders, our Board will determine the ratio of the Reverse Split to be implemented and we will file the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. As soon as practicable after the effective date of the Reverse Split, stockholders will be notified that the Reverse Split has been effected.

Beneficial Owners of Common Stock.   Upon the implementation of the Reverse Split, we intend to treat shares held by stockholders in street name (i.e., through a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee), in the same manner as registered stockholders whose shares are registered in their names. Banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees will be instructed to effect the Reverse Split for their beneficial holders holding our common stock in street name. However, these banks, brokers, custodians or other nominees may have different procedures than registered stockholders for processing the Reverse Split. If a stockholder holds shares of our common stock with a bank, broker, custodian or other nominee and has any questions in this regard, stockholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker, custodian or other nominee.

11

Table of Contents​​​​

Registered Holders of Common Stock.   Certain of our registered holders of common stock hold some or all of their shares electronically in book-entry form with our transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, LLC. These stockholders do not hold physical stock certificates evidencing their ownership of our common stock. However, they are provided with a statement reflecting the number of shares of our common stock registered in their accounts. If a stockholder holds registered shares in book-entry form with our transfer agent, no action needs to be taken to receive post-Reverse Split shares. If a stockholder is entitled to post-Reverse Split shares, a transaction statement will automatically be sent to the stockholder’s address of record indicating the number of shares of our common stock held following the Reverse Split.

Holders of Certificated Shares of Common Stock.   As soon as practicable after filing the Certificate of Amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation effecting the Reverse Split with the Secretary of State of Delaware, we will notify our stockholders that the Reverse Split has been implemented and stockholders will receive instructions for the exchange of their common stock certificates for new certificates representing the appropriate number of shares of common stock after the Reverse Split. However, if permitted, the Company may elect to effect the exchange in the ordinary course of trading as certificates are returned for transfer. In either event, each current certificate representing shares of common stock will, until so exchanged, be deemed for all corporate purposes after the filing date of the Certificate of Amendment to evidence ownership of our common stock in the proportionately reduced number. STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATES AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATES UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO. You should submit them only after you receive instructions from us.

Fractional Shares

Our stockholders will not receive fractional post-Reverse Split shares in connection with the Reverse Split. Instead, any fractional shares that would otherwise be issuable as a result of the Reverse Split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. No stockholders will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares.

No Appraisal Rights

No action is proposed herein for which the laws of the State of Delaware, or our Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, provide a right to our stockholders to dissent and obtain appraisal of, or payment for, such stockholders’ capital stock.

Accounting Consequences

The par value of our common stock will remain unchanged at $0.01 per share after the Reverse Split. As a result, on the effective date of the Reverse Split, the stated capital on the Company’s balance sheet attributable to our common stock will be reduced proportionately from its present amount, and the additional paid in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. The per share common stock net income or loss and net book value will be increased because there will be fewer shares of common stock outstanding. Per share amounts for prior periods will be restated to reflect the Reverse Split. The Company does not anticipate that any other accounting consequences would arise as a result of the Reverse Split.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of a reverse stock split to the Company and to stockholders that hold shares of our common stock as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This discussion is based upon current provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), current, temporary and proposed Treasury regulations and judicial and administrative decisions and rulings as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect) and all of which are subject to differing interpretations, which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, and differing interpretations. Any such change may cause the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a reverse stock split to vary substantially from the consequences summarized below.

This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to stockholders in light of their particular circumstances or to stockholders who may be subject to special tax treatment under the Code, including, without limitation, dealers in securities, commodities or foreign currency,

12

Table of Contents​​

persons who are treated as non-U.S. persons for U.S. federal income tax purposes, certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, banks, financial institutions, small business investment companies, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, retirement plans, persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, traders that mark-to-market their securities, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax or Medicare contribution tax on net investment income, persons who do not hold their shares of our common stock as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, persons who hold their shares of our common stock as part of a hedge, straddle, conversion or other risk reduction transaction, persons who hold their shares of our common stock as “qualified small business stock” under Sections 1045 and/or 1202 of the Code, or who acquired their shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of compensatory stock options, the vesting of previously restricted shares of stock or otherwise as compensation.

The state and local tax consequences of a reverse stock split may vary as to each stockholder, depending on the jurisdiction in which such stockholder resides, and any state or local tax considerations are beyond the scope of this discussion. This discussion should not be considered as tax or investment advice, and the tax consequences of a reverse stock split may not be the same for all stockholders. Stockholders should consult their own tax advisors to understand their individual federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences.

Tax Consequences to the Company.   We believe that the Reverse Split will constitute a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. Accordingly, we should not recognize taxable income, gain or loss in connection with the Reverse Split. In addition, we do not expect the Reverse Split to affect our ability to utilize our net operating loss carryforwards.

Tax Consequences to Stockholders.   Stockholders should not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reverse Split, except stockholders whose fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split are rounded up to the nearest whole share may recognize gain for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the value of the additional fractional share. A stockholder’s tax basis in the shares received as a result of the Reverse Split will be equal, in the aggregate, to his or her basis in the shares exchanged, increased by the income or gain attributable to the rounding up of fractional shares, as described herein. New shares attributable to the rounding up of fractional shares to the nearest whole number of shares will be treated for tax purposes as if the fractional shares constitute a disproportionate dividend distribution. Such stockholders generally should recognize ordinary income to the extent of earnings and profits of the Company allocated to the portion of each whole share attributable to the rounding up process, and the remainder of the gain, if any, shall be treated as received from the exchange of property. The stockholder’s holding period for the shares will include the period during which he or she held the pre-split shares surrendered in the Reverse Split. The portion of the shares received by a stockholder that are attributable to rounding up for fractional shares will have a holding period commencing on the effective date of the Reverse Split.

Individual tax circumstances can vary, and stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax effects to them, based on their particular circumstances, in particular stockholders whose fractional shares resulting from the Reverse Split are rounded up to the nearest whole share and with respect to allocating tax basis and holding period among their post-Reverse Split shares.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter, and entitled to vote on the subject matter thereof, is required for approval of Proposal No. 1. Abstentions and broker non-votes on this proposal will have no effect on the outcome.

PROPOSAL 2

APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING TO SOLICIT
ADDITIONAL VOTES

Overview

Our stockholders may be asked to consider and act upon one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies in favor of any of the proposals set forth in this Proxy Statement.

If a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, but there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve any of the foregoing proposals, our stockholders may be asked to vote on the proposal to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies in favor of any of the proposals.

If the adjournment proposal is submitted for a vote at the Special Meeting, and if our stockholders vote to approve the adjournment proposal, the Special Meeting may be adjourned to another place, or a later date or dates, to enable us to solicit additional proxies in favor of any of the proposals. If the adjournment proposal is approved, and the Special Meeting is adjourned, we will use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of the relevant proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting, including the solicitation of proxies from stockholders that have previously voted against any of the proposals.

Our Board believes that, if the number of shares of our common stock voting in favor of any of the proposals at the Special Meeting is insufficient to approve such proposals, it is in the best interests of our stockholders to enable us, if we so choose and for a limited period of time, to continue to seek to obtain a sufficient number of additional votes in favor of such proposals. Any signed proxies received by us in which no voting instructions are provided on such matter will be voted in favor of an adjournment in these circumstances. If the Special Meeting is adjourned, the time and place of the adjourned Special Meeting will be announced at the time the adjournment is taken. Any adjournment of the Special Meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies will allow our stockholders who have already sent in their proxies to revoke them at any time prior to their use at the Special Meeting, as adjourned or postponed.

Vote Required

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast on the matter, and entitled to vote on the subject matter thereof, is required for approval of Proposal No. 2. Abstentions and broker non-votes on this proposal will have no effect on the outcome.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of September 30, 2026 by (a) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our common stock, (b) each of our named executive officers, (c) each of our directors, and (d) all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

The percentage of common stock outstanding is based on 15,368,277 shares of common stock outstanding on September 30, 2026. For purposes of the table below, and in accordance with the rules of the SEC, we deem shares of common stock subject to warrants and options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty days of September 30, 2026 to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the warrants and options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise noted, we believe that each of the persons or entities in this table has sole voting and investing power with respect to all of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by him, her or it, subject to community property laws, where applicable. Except as otherwise noted below, the street address of each beneficial owner is c/o Traws Pharma, Inc., 12 Penns Trail, Newtown, PA 18940.

However, the table shows the number of shares of common stock that would be issuable upon the full exercise of the warrants and does not give effect to the 9.99% Blocker. Therefore, the actual number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by Sirenia, after giving effect to the 9.99% Blocker, is less than the number of securities reported on the table above.
