On August 25, 2025, the Company entered into subscription agreements pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in the August 2025 Private Placement to certain investors 3,138,338 shares of its common stock for gross, and net, proceeds of approximately $3.5 million.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the August 2025 Private Placement to expedite manufacturing process development, including scale-up of clinical and commercial production and testing, to ensure sufficient supply of cGMP material for its gene therapy candidates, OPGx-LCA5 and OPGx-BEST1. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the August 2025 Private Placement.

The August 2025 Private Placement was led by Cam Gallagher, Chair of the Board, along with participation by Sean Ainsworth, the lead independent director of the Board, and other investors. See Note 6 – Related Party Transactions.

March 2025 Financings

On March 21, 2025, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Craig-Hallum Capital Group, LLC, as the sole underwriter. Pursuant to the underwriting agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell, in an underwritten public offering (the “March 2025 Offering”), 12,219,736 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 21,052,631 shares of common stock (the “March 2025 Warrants”). Each share of common stock was sold together with one March 2025 Warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at a price to the public of $0.95 per share and related March 2025 Warrant. The Company also issued 8,832,895 pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a price to the public of $0.9499 per Pre-funded Warrant.


On March 21, 2025, the Company entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) with each of Dr. George Magrath, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and Cam Gallagher, the chairman of the Board.  Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a private offering (the “March 2025 Private Placement”), a total of 392,157 shares of common stock to Mr. Magrath and 784,314 shares of common stock to Mr. Gallagher, as well as 392,157 warrants to purchase shares of common stock to Mr. Magrath and 784,314 warrants to purchase shares of common stock to Mr. Gallagher (“March 2025 Private Placement Warrants”). Each March 2025 Private Placement Warrant has an initial exercise price of $1.15, expires on the five-year anniversary of the original issuance date and may be called by the Company 30 days following the release of the Company’s OPGx-BEST1 DUO-1001 Cohort 1 data upon achievement of a volume weighted average price of our common stock for 30 consecutive trading days of over $1.725 per share and the trading average daily volume for such 30 day period exceeds $150,000 per trading day. See Note 6 – Related Party Transactions.

The combined gross proceeds from the March 2025 Offering and the March 2025 Private Placement, which both closed on March 24, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), were approximately $21.5 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company in the amount of $1.8 million.

March 2025 Warrants

The March 2025 Warrants have an initial exercise price equal to $0.95 per share of common stock and are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance. The exercise prices and numbers of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting the common stock and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to our stockholders. A holder may not exercise the March 2025 Warrant if, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with the terms of the March 2025 Warrants) more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to the exercise. Lastly, certain volatility provisions in the event of a fundamental transaction precluded the March 2025 Warrants from being considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and as such, were classified on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as warrant liabilities.

The March 2025 Warrants are callable by the Company in certain circumstances. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event that the March 2025 Warrants are outstanding, if, after the Closing Date, (i) the Company has announced OPGx-BEST1 DUO-1001 Cohort 1 data, (ii) the volume weighted average price of the common stock for 30 consecutive trading days (“Warrant Measurement Period”), which 30 consecutive trading day period shall not have commenced until after the initial exercise date) exceeds $1.425 (subject to adjustment), (iii) the trading average daily volume for such Warrant Measurement Period exceeds $150,000 per trading day and (iv) the March 2025 Warrant holder is not in possession of any information that constitutes or might constitute material non-public information which was provided by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, then the Company may, within one trading day of the end of such Warrant Measurement Period, upon notice, call for cancellation of all or any portion of the March 2025 Warrants for which a notice of exercise has not yet been delivered for consideration equal to $0.001 per March 2025 Warrant share.


In the event of a fundamental transaction, as defined in the Form of Warrant, the holders of the March 2025 Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised immediately prior to such fundamental transaction. Additionally, as more fully described in the Form of Warrant, in the event of certain fundamental transactions, the holders of the March 2025 Warrants will be entitled to receive consideration in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of the March 2025 Warrants on the date of consummation of such fundamental transaction.


The fair value of the March 2025 Warrants at the time of issuance was $14.7 million and were recorded in the warrant liabilities line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets upon issuance. The fair value change during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was an expense of $9.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The fair value of these instruments were based on a Monte Carlo simulation incorporating a volatility rate of 72.5% and 80.0% as of September 30, 2025 and March 24, 2025, respectively, a risk free rate of 3.6% and 4.0% as of September 30, 2025 and March 24, 2025, respectively, the market price of the Company’s common stock at $1.65 and $1.15 per share as of September 30, 2025 and March 24, 2025, respectively, and other factors over a simulated term of 4.5 years and 5 years at September 30, 2025 and March 24, 2025, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 the transaction costs attributed to the March 2025 Warrants amounted to approximately $1.3 million and were recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss under financing costs.


March 2025 Private Placement Warrants

The March 2025 Private Placement Warrants have an initial exercise price equal to $1.15 per share of common stock and are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance. The March 2025 Private Placement Warrants are callable by the Company in certain circumstances. Subject to certain exceptions, in the event that the March 2025 Private Placement Warrants are outstanding, if, after the Closing Date, (i) the Company announced OPGx-BEST1 DUO-1001 Cohort 1 data, (ii) the volume weighted average price of the common stock for 30 consecutive trading days (the “Private Placement Measurement Period”, which 30 consecutive trading day period shall not have commenced until after the initial exercise date) exceeds $1.725 (subject to adjustment), (iii) the trading average daily volume for such Private Placement Measurement Period exceeds $150,000 per trading day and (iv) the March 2025 Private Placement Warrant holder is not in possession of any information that constitutes or might constitute material non-public information which was provided by the Company, its subsidiaries or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or affiliates, then the Company may, within one trading day of the end of such Private Placement Measurement Period, upon notice, call for cancellation of all or any portion of the March 2025 Private Placement Warrants for which a notice of exercise has not yet been delivered for consideration equal to $0.001 per March 2025 Private Placement Warrant share. Other terms under the March 2025 Private Placement Warrants are generally identical to the terms of the March 2025 Warrants discussed above. Lastly, certain volatility provisions in the event of a fundamental transaction precluded the March 2025 Private Placement Warrants from being considered indexed to the Company’s own stock, and as such, were classified on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as warrant liabilities.

The fair value of the March 2025 Private Placement Warrants at the time of issuance was $0.8 million and were recorded in the warrant liabilities line item in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets upon issuance. The fair value change during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was an expense of $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The fair value of these instruments were based on a Monte Carlo simulation incorporating a volatility rate of 72.5% and 80.0% as of September 30, 2025 and March 24, 2025, respectively, a risk free rate of 3.6% and 4.0% as of September 30, 2025 and March 24, 2025, respectively, the market price of the Company’s common stock at $1.65 and $1.15 per share as of September 30, 2025 and March 24, 2025, respectively, and other factors over a simulated term of 4.5 years and 5 years as of September 30, 2025 and March 24, 2025, respectively. As of September 30, 2025 transaction costs attributed to the March 2025 Private Placement Warrants were de minimis and were recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss under financing costs.

Pre-Funded Warrants

The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share of common stock and are immediately exercisable and are exercisable at any time until exercised in full. The exercise prices and numbers of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting the common stock.  A holder may not exercise the Pre-Funded Warrant if, after giving effect to such exercise, the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own (as determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Funded Warrants) more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the outstanding common stock immediately after giving effect to the exercise. In the event of a fundamental transaction, as defined in the Form of Pre-Funded Warrant, the holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Pre-Funded Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.

The Pre-Funded Warrants were recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as Additional paid-in capital.

On January 13, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC in connection with the establishment of an at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) for the offer and sale, from time to time, of shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $40.0 million.
