On October 9, 2024, Health Canada approved our Canadian Clinical Trial Application (“CTA”) to commence a Phase 1 clinical trial for PALI-2108 in Canada. On November 7, 2024, we commenced the Phase 1 clinical trial of PALI-2108. Our success depends on the development and clinical success of PALI-2108, which is subject to a number of risks, including:

On October 9, 2024, Health Canada approved our Canadian Clinical Trial Application (“CTA”) to commence a Phase 1 clinical trial for PALI-2108 in Canada. On November 7, 2024, we commenced the Phase 1 clinical trial of PALI-2108. On May 27, 2025, we announced positive results from the SAD, MAD and FE cohorts in healthy volunteers and on August 7, 2025, we announced positive results from the UC cohort portion of the study. The clinical study successfully met its primary endpoints of safety, tolerability, and PK. Our success depends on the development and clinical success of PALI-2108, which is subject to a number of risks, including:
Previous wording
If we do not achieve one or more of these factors, many of which are beyond our control, in a timely manner or at all, we could experience significant delays or an inability to obtain regulatory approvals or commercialize our proposed product candidates. For example, we are currently enrolling and dosing subjects in our initial Phase 1 clinical trial of PALI-2108 in Canada. We may experience delays or difficulties in finding suitable trial subjects, or in completing enrollment. Such delays may result in increased costs and the failure to complete the Phase 1 clinical trial of PALI-2108 in Canada in a timely manner. Even if successfully completed, we must complete a number of additional clinical trials prior to obtaining regulatory approval to commercialize our product candidates. Accordingly, we cannot make assurances that we will ever be able to generate sufficient revenue through the sale of any product candidates, if approved, to internally fund our business.

Previous wording
We have commenced a Phase 1 clinical trial for ulcerative colitis in Canada. However, we have not received approval from the FDA to commence any clinical trials in the U.S., and there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such approval in a timely manner, if at all. If our Phase 1 clinical trial is successful and we seek to initiate a Phase 2 clinical trial in the U.S, there is no certainty that the FDA will accept the data generated from our Canadian trial. The FDA’s acceptance of foreign clinical data is subject to certain conditions, including whether the trial was conducted in accordance with good clinical practices (“GCP”) and whether the FDA can validate the trial data through on-site inspections or other means. Moreover, the FDA will assess whether the trial design, patient population, endpoints, and other factors meet the standards expected for clinical trials conducted within the U.S.

We are currently enrolling subjects in the Phase 1 clinical trial of PALI-2108 in Canada. Identifying and qualifying subjects to participate in our current and anticipated future clinical trials is critical to our success. Our inability to enroll patients in our clinical trials on a timely basis could result in the trials being delayed or never completed.

Previous wording
PALI-2108 will require significant development, clinical testing, possibly additional preclinical studies, and the investment of significant funds to gain regulatory approval before it can be commercialized. Although we commenced a Phase 1 clinical trial in Canada, there can be no assurances that gaining regulatory approval in Canada will result in regulatory approval from any other regulatory agency, including the FDA of the U.S. The results of our human clinical testing of PALI-2108 may not meet applicable regulatory requirements. If approved in a jurisdiction, PALI-2108 may also require the completion of post-market studies. The process of completing clinical testing and obtaining the required approvals is expected to take a number of years and require the use of substantial resources. Further, there can be no assurance that PALI-2108 will be shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials or receive applicable regulatory approvals.

Previous wording
As is common in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, certain of our employees were formerly employed by other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. Moreover, we engage the services of consultants to assist us in the development of our product candidates, many of whom were previously employed at, or may have previously been or are currently providing consulting services to, other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies, including our competitors or potential competitors. We may be subject to claims that our employees or consultants have inadvertently or otherwise wrongfully used or disclosed trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers or their former or current customers. Although we have no knowledge of any such claims being alleged to date, if such claims were to arise, litigation may be necessary to defend against any such claims. Even if we are successful in defending against any such claims, the related litigation could be protracted, expensive, a distraction to our management team, and not viewed favorably by investors and other third parties.

Previous wording
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market. There are a number of continued listing requirements that we must satisfy in order to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market, including the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 (the “Bid Price Rule”). In October of 2023, we were notified that we were no longer in compliance with the Bid Price Rule and had 180 days to cure such deficiency. On April 5, 2024, we effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split and we were notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market that as of April 19, 2024, we were back in compliance with the Bid Price Rule. On April 30, 2025, we received the Notice from Nasdaq advising us that we were no longer in compliance with the Bid Price Rule. The Notice has no effect on the listing of our common stock at this time, and our common stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PALI.” If at any time during the Compliance Period the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, we will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule and our common stock will continue to be eligible for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market absent noncompliance with any other requirement for continued listing. If we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by the end of the Compliance Period, we may be afforded an Additional Compliance Period if on the last day of the Compliance Period we are in compliance with the market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing as well as all other standards for initial listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market (other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement), unless we do not indicate our intent to cure the deficiency, or if it appears to Nasdaq that it is not possible for us to cure the deficiency. If we do not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by the end of the Compliance Period, or the Additional Compliance Period, if applicable, our common stock will be subject to delisting. The delisting of our common stock would likely adversely affect the market liquidity and market price of our common stock and our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations and/or result in the loss of confidence by investors. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). There are a number of continued listing requirements that we must satisfy in order to maintain our listing on Nasdaq, including the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 (the “Bid Price Rule”). In October of 2023, we were notified that we were no longer in compliance with the Bid Price Rule and had 180 days to cure such deficiency. On April 5, 2024, we effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split and we were notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market that as of April 19, 2024, we were back in compliance with the Bid Price Rule. On April 30, 2025, we received notice (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq advising us that for 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of our common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice has no effect on the listing of our common stock at this time, and our common stock continues to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “PALI.” Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have 180 calendar days following the date of the Notice, or until October 27, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the “Compliance Period”) by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day. On August 5, 2025, the bid price of our common stock closed above $1.00 for 10 consecutive days, however, we were notified on August 6, 2025 that Nasdaq was exercising its discretion to continue monitoring our stock price beyond this ten-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). If we are not able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the Compliance Period, we may be afforded an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (the “Additional Compliance Period”) if on the last day of the Compliance Period we are in compliance with the market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing as well as all other standards for initial listing of its common stock on Nasdaq (other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement), unless we do not indicate our intent to cure the deficiency, or if it appears to Nasdaq that it is not possible for us to cure the deficiency.

We are entitled under our Certificate of Incorporation to issue up to 280,000,000 shares of common stock and 7,000,000 “blank check” shares of preferred stock. Shares of our blank check preferred stock provide our Board with broad authority to determine voting, dividend, conversion, and other rights of such preferred stock. As of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding, common stock or securities convertible into common stock, totaling 9,764,636 shares. As a result, we are authorized to issue up to an additional 270,235,364 shares of common stock or common stock equivalents under our Certificate of Incorporation. Additionally, pursuant to the initial issuance of (i) 1,000,000 shares of Series A 4.5% Convertible Preferred Stock, of which 200,000 shares are outstanding and (ii) 1,460 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, of which no shares are outstanding, we are authorized to issue up to an additional 6,800,000 shares of preferred stock. We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations. To the extent we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities, our existing stockholders will likely experience substantial dilution. We may sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner that we determine from time to time. If we sell common stock, convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors will likely be materially diluted by the initial and subsequent sales. Additionally, new investors may gain rights superior to existing stockholders, depending on the terms of such transactions and types of securities. Pursuant to our equity incentive plans and employee stock purchase plan, management is authorized to grant stock options, restricted stock units and other equity-based awards to employees, directors and consultants, and to sell common stock to employees, respectively. Any increase in the number of shares outstanding as a result of the exercise of outstanding options, the vesting or settlement of outstanding stock awards, or the purchase of shares pursuant to the employee stock purchase plan will cause stockholders to experience additional dilution, which could cause our stock price to fall.
