Securities Purchase Agreement
On May 15, 2026, NanoViricides, Inc. (the “Company”) and a certain purchaser (the “Investor”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and issue to the Investor in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”): (i) 1,133,334 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an offering price of $1.50 per share, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 200,000 shares of Common Stock, at an offering price of $1.49999 per pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”), to purchasers whose purchase of shares of Common Stock in the Offering would otherwise result in such purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Offering, and (iii) accompanying common warrants to purchase up to 1,333,334 shares of Common Stock (the “Common Warrants”). Each Pre-Funded Warrant will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.00001 per share, will be immediately exercisable upon issuance, and may be exercised at any time until exercised in full. Each Common Warrant will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock (each a “Common Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $1.75 per share, will be exercisable six months from the date of issuance, may be exercised at any time until exercised in full, and will expire three years from the date of issuance.
The Offering was made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-271706) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 5, 2023 and declared effective by the SEC on May 23, 2023 and the prospectus supplement filed with the SEC on May 18, 2026.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed for a period of 30 days after the Closing Date (as defined below) not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue, or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any shares of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents, or file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, except for the filing of the Resale Registration Statement (as defined below), a Form S-3 shelf registration statement in the amount of $50 million, which shall not be drawn down upon during such period, or a Form S-8 registration statement covering the employee equity incentive plans . In addition, the Company agreed to not conduct or effect any sales of Common Stock pursuant to the At The Market Offering Agreement for a period of 10 days following the Closing Date (as defined below).
In addition, the Company agreed that within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and file a registration statement (the “Resale Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable and to keep such registration statement continuously effective until the earlier of (i) the date all Common Warrant Shares or (ii) the date all Common Warrant Shares may be sold without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Company shall bear all expenses associated with the filing and maintenance of the Resale Registration Statement, other than underwriting discounts, commissions, and legal fees of the holders.
The Offering closed on May 18, 2026 (the “Closing Date”). The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $2.0 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fee and offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital, capital expenditures, research and development expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, as well as acquisitions and other strategic purposes.

In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for up to $50,000 of its fees and expenses in connection with the Offering.
