Organization and Basis of Presentation | Note 1 — Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization and Nature of Operations Blue Water Vaccines Inc. (the “Company”) was formed on October 26, 2018, to focus on the research and development of transformational vaccines to prevent infectious diseases worldwide. The Company’s lead vaccine candidates, BWV-101 and BWV-102, are being investigated as a universal influenza vaccine with the potential against all influenza strains and may provide a first-in-class long-term global vaccine that protects millions. The Company’s proprietary, immunogenic, multi-purpose platform enables the Company to bioengineer viral nanoparticles to deliver antigens, enhancing immunity, in an array of infectious disease agents, including influenza. All of the Company’s vaccine candidates are in the pre-clinical developmental stage. Initial Public Offering On February 23, 2022, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) in which the Company issued and sold 2,222,222 shares of its common stock, at a price to the public of $9.00 per share. Proceeds from the IPO, net of underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering costs of $2.9 million, were $17.1 million. In connection with the completion of the IPO, all outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock were converted into 5,626,365 shares of common stock. See Note 6. Stock Split On November 24, 2021, the Company’s board of directors approved a 4-for-1 (4:1) stock split (the “Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock without any change to its par value, which became effective on November 24, 2021. All references to share and per share amounts for all periods presented in these financial statements have been retrospectively restated to reflect the Stock Split and proportional adjustment of the preferred stock conversion ratio. Par values were not adjusted. Basis of Presentation The Company’s unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
