- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1If we enter into a definitive agreement with Oncotelic under the terms of the binding term sheet, existing stockholders will experience substantial immediate dilution.
We have 7,242,137 shares of common stock outstanding as of the filing date of this Report. If we enter into a definitive agreement with Oncotelic pursuant to the terms of the Binding Term Sheet, we could issue 47,923,322 shares of our common stock to Oncotelic, resulting in immediate substantial dilution to our existing stockholders. In addition, under the Binding Term Sheet, Oncotelic could receive up to an additional $15.0 million in shares of common stock of Mosaic that would be valued at the time of issuance if certain milestones are achieved (see Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements), which would cause substantial additional dilution to existing stockholders.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Raising capital will cause dilution to our stockholders, restrict our operations, or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies or product candidates.
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, and/or licensing arrangements. While we do not have any committed external source of funds, if we raise funds from the issuance of equity securities (which will be challenging in light of current market conditions), substantial dilution to our existing stockholders would likely result. If we raise additional funds by incurring debt financing (also challenging in light of current market conditions combined), the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict our ability to operate our business. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to cease our operations altogether.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Future sales of shares by existing stockholders could cause the Company's stock price to decline.
If existing stockholders of the Company sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of the Company's common stock in the public market, the trading price of the common stock could decline significantly. After the Reverse Merger, shareholders of Private Mosaic currently own a majority of the fully diluted shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, our shareholders are not restricted in the price at which they can sell their shares. Shares sold at a price below the current market price at which our common stock is trading may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4We expect our stock price to be volatile, and the market price of our common stock may drop unexpectedly.
The market price of our common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations. For instance, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the low and high trading prices of our common stock ranged from $0.27 to $1.05 per share. Market prices for securities of early-stage pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, and other life sciences companies have historically been particularly volatile. Some of the factors that may cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate include: - our limited cash position and our immediate need for additional capital; - potential results from preclinical testing and clinical trial results, and our ability to obtain regulatory approvals for product candidates, and delays or failures to obtain such approvals; - issues in manufacturing these product candidates; - the entry into, or termination of, key agreements; - the initiation of, material developments in, or conclusion of litigation to enforce or defend intellectual property rights or defend against the intellectual property rights of others; - announcements by competitors of new commercial products, clinical progress or the lack thereof, significant contracts, or commercial relationships; - the introduction of technological innovations or new therapies that compete with our potential products; - the loss of key employees; - general and industry-specific economic conditions that may affect our research and development expenditures; - changes in the structure of healthcare payment systems; - issuance of new shares of common stock from raising additional capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all; and - period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. Moreover, the stock markets in general have experienced substantial volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations may also adversely affect the trading price of our common stock. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company's securities, stockholders have often instituted class action securities litigation against those companies. Such litigation, if instituted, could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could significantly harm our financial position.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5Our share price could decline as a result of short sales.
When an investor sells stock that he does not own, it is known as a short sale. The seller, anticipating that the price of the stock will go down, intends to buy stock to cover his/her sale at a later date. If the price of the stock goes down, the seller will profit to the extent of the difference between the price at which he originally sold it less his later purchase price. Short sales enable the seller to profit in a down market. Short sales could place significant downward pressure on the price of our common stock. Penny stocks which do not trade on an exchange, such as our common stock, are particularly susceptible to short sales.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6We may issue preferred stock, and the terms of such preferred stock may reduce the value of our common stock.
We are authorized to issue up to a total of 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, of which, 4,300,000 have been undesignated as of December 31, 2025. Our Board of Directors may determine whether to issue shares of preferred stock without further action by holders of our common stock. If we issue shares of preferred stock, it could affect the rights or reduce the value of our common stock. In particular, specific rights granted to future holders of preferred stock could be used to restrict our ability to merge with or sell our assets to a third party. These terms may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights, and sinking fund provisions. As we seek capital for our business, such capital may be raised through the issuance of preferred stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7Our executive officers, directors and principal stockholders, if they choose to act together, will have the ability to control all matters submitted to stockholders for approval.
Shareholders of Private Mosaic beneficially own shares representing a majority of our capital stock outstanding as of December 31, 2025. As a result, if these stockholders were to choose to act together, they would be able to control all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, as well as our management and affairs. For example, these persons, if they choose to act together, would control the election of directors and approval of any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of ownership control may: - delay, defer or prevent a change in control; - entrench our management and the board of directors; or - impede a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company that other stockholders may desire. In addition, if we enter into a definitive agreement with Oncotelic under the binding term sheet to acquire certain rights to their technology (see Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements), we would issue Oncotelic 47,923,322 shares of common stock and Oncotelic would own a majority of shares of common stock of the Company and would be able to control all matters at the Company.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provides that state or federal court located within the state of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between us and our stockholders, which could limit its stockholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.
Section XIV of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that "Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (A) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (B) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation's stockholders, (C) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees or agents arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, this Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Corporation's bylaws, or (D) any action asserting a claim against the Corporation, its directors, officers or employees or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except as to each of (A) through (D) above, for any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or over which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article XIV." The exclusive forum provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will not relieve us of our duty to comply with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder, and shareholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with these laws, rules and regulations. This exclusive forum provision may limit a shareholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum of its choosing for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits against us or our directors, officers or other employees. In addition, shareholders who do bring a claim in the state or federal court in the State of Delaware could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim, particularly if they do not reside in or near Delaware. The state or federal court of the State of Delaware may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a shareholder would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments or results may be more favorable to us than to our shareholders. However, the enforceability of similar exclusive forum provisions in other companies' certificates of incorporation have been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find this type of provision to be inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings. If a court were to find the exclusive forum provision contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we might incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9Anti-takeover provisions contained in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in our management without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions include: - providing that our directors may be removed only for cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 75% of the voting power of our then outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote generally for the election of directors; - providing that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of such stockholders, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock with respect to such series, if any; - providing that special meetings of our stockholders may only be called by the board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the board of directors; - providing that our board of directors can be divided into three classes of directors, with each class as nearly equal in number as possible, serving staggered three-year terms, other than directors which may be elected by holders of preferred stock, if any. This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it could have the effect of increasing the length of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of the board of directors. In general, at least two annual meetings of stockholders will be necessary for stockholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of the board of directors; - providing that all board vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director and shall not be filled by the stockholders; - providing that our amended and restated bylaws may only be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our then outstanding common stock; - providing the ability of our board of directors to determine whether to issue shares of our preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer; and - limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers. These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control of the Company or changes in our board of directors and management. Any provision of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or amended and restated bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the opportunity for our security holders to receive a premium for their securities and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our securities.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 10There is a substantial lack of liquidity of our common stock and volatility risks, and because there is no active public trading market for our common stock, you may not be able to resell your common stock.
Our common stock is not listed on any securities exchange and is quoted on the OTC Pink Open Market ("OTC Pink") under the symbol "CPMV." The trading volume of our common stock historically has been limited and sporadic, and the stock prices have been volatile. There can be no assurance that there will be an active market for our shares of common stock either now or in the future or that stockholders will be able to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, our stockholders may not find purchasers for our securities should they desire to sell them. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. In addition, if our shares of common stock cease to be quoted, holders would find it more difficult to dispose of or to obtain accurate quotation as to the market value of our common stock, and as a result, the market value of our common stock likely would decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 11The market for our common stock is subject to rules relating to low-priced stock ("Penny Stock") which may limit our ability to raise capital.
Our common stock is currently subject to the "penny stock rules" adopted pursuant to Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. In general, the penny stock rules apply to non-Nasdaq or non-national stock exchange companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or which have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade "penny stock" on behalf of persons other than "established customers" complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document, quote information, broker's commission information and rights and remedies available to investors in penny stocks. Many brokers have decided not to trade "penny stock" because of the requirements of the penny stock rules, and as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. The "penny stock rules," therefore, may have an adverse impact on the market for our common stock and may affect our ability to raise additional capital.
