Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock financial
"the Company agreed to sell to the Investor, and the Investor agreed to purchase from the Company, up to 8,400 shares of the Company’s Series B Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock"
A Series B non-voting convertible preferred stock is a class of company shares that gives holders financial priority—such as fixed dividends and first claim on assets if the company is sold—while not granting voting rights. It can be converted into regular common shares under set conditions, which matters to investors because conversion can increase upside participation but also dilute existing owners; the preference reduces downside risk like a safety buffer.
Securities Purchase Agreement financial
"Valion Bio, Inc. ... entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement ... with an investor"
A securities purchase agreement is a written contract between a buyer and a seller outlining the terms for buying or selling financial assets such as stocks or bonds. It specifies details like the price, quantity, and conditions of the transaction, similar to a shopping list with agreed-upon terms. For investors, it provides clarity and legal protection when transferring ownership of these financial instruments.
Warrants financial
"and warrants (“Warrants” and together with Series B Preferred Shares, “Securities”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock"
Warrants are special documents that give you the right to buy a company's stock at a set price before a certain date. They are often used as a way for companies to attract investors or raise money, and their value can increase if the company's stock price goes up.
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 regulatory
"Such Securities were issued under an exemption from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended"
Rule 506(b) regulatory
"and/or Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder"
Rule 506(b) is a U.S. securities exemption that lets companies sell shares or debt privately without full public registration, provided sales are primarily to accredited investors, up to 35 non‑accredited but financially knowledgeable buyers, and there is no public advertising or solicitation. It matters to investors because offerings under 506(b) usually include less public disclosure than registered securities—like buying from a private seller rather than a retail store—so buyers must do more of their own fact‑checking and rely on their financial sophistication.
