Current report
On July 23, 2025, we announced that a Special Committee of independent directors has recommended, and our Board has approved, as part of a proposed going private transaction, the Amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect the Reverse Stock Split subject to obtaining the requisite approval of our stockholders at a special meeting of Stockholders to be held for that purpose, the date of which meeting has not yet been determined.
Current report
Specifically, the board approved the amendment to our certificate of incorporation to effect a Reverse Stock Split of our issued and outstanding common stock, including stock held by us as treasury shares, at a ratio (the “Stock Split Ratio”) of not less than 1-for-2,500 and not greater than 1-for-7,500 (the “Range”), with the exact Stock Split Ratio to be set within the Range without further approval or authorization of our stockholders at the discretion of the board and included in a public announcement, subject to the authority of the board to abandon the Amendment. The Reverse Stock Split would be undertaken as part of our plan to go private and terminate the registration of our common stock under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and suspend our duty to file periodic reports and other information with the SEC under Section 13(a) thereunder, and to delist our common stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market. The primary purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to enable us to maintain the number of record holders of our common stock below 300, which is the level at or above which we are required to file public reports with the SEC.
Current report
Subsequent to the Company’s announcement on July 23, 2025, the Company received inbound interest from potential financial and strategic partners. Consistent with our commitment to maximize stockholder value, the Special Committee and the board will review all strategic alternatives available to the Company, including the proposed going private transaction and related Reverse Stock Split, a sale of the Company’s assets and/or a merger transaction. While the strategic review process is ongoing, we currently plan to move forward with holding the special meeting of stockholders to approve the Reverse Stock Split.
Current report
There can be no assurance that this process will result in the Company pursuing a transaction or any other strategic outcome. There is no deadline or definitive timetable set for completion of the strategic alternatives review process. Similarly, even if the Company’s stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split at the special meeting, the board could determine to abandon the Reverse Stock Split for any reason, including to enter into an alternative transaction.
Current report
For the year ended June 30, 2025, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.2 million from the prior year. Compensation and related benefits decreased by $0.3 million, primarily resulting from increased expense recognized in the prior period in connection with the severance agreement entered into with our former CEO during October 2023. Furthermore, professional and consultant fees decreased by $0.2 million over the same period, resulting from an overall decrease due to strategic cost reductions. These decreases were offset by an increase in stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million due to additional option grants.
Current report
Interest expense relates to the amortization of loan commitment fees in connection with the Loan Agreement (and, prior to being amended and restated, the LSA). In connection with the February 2025 refinancing, we recognized incremental interest expense of approximately $0.2 million resulting from the write-off of a proportional amount of the loan commitment fees due to a decrease in borrowing capacity.
Current report
Interest income was relatively flat year-over-year. We had an increase in average cash and cash equivalents balances following the December 2024 private placement transaction, partially offset by a decrease in the prevailing market interest rates.
Current report
Grant Income
Current report
During the year ended June 30, 2025, we recognized grant income of $0.9 million in connection with our research and development grant with NIDA. Grant income is derived from the reimbursement of direct out-of-pocket expenses associated with grant activities. There was no grant income recognized during the prior year, as the NIDA grant was not executed until July 2024 and there were no other comparable grants.
Current report
Loan Agreement (previously the Loan and Security Agreement)
Current report
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, cash and cash equivalents increased by $8.5 million. Cash used in operations was $6.3 million, which primarily resulted from our net loss of $8.5 million, partially offset by the non-cash stock-based compensation of $1.4 million, non-cash amortization of loan commitment fee of $0.4 million, and a change in operating assets and liabilities of $0.3 million. Cash used in operations was offset by cash provided by financing activities, primarily resulting from approximately $14.9 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock.
Current report
We entered into an agreement with a third-party CRO to assist with conducting our Phase 1 SAD study. The total cost for the current contract is approximately $3.5 million. The contract is expected to be substantially completed by the third quarter of calendar 2026.

Previous report
In May 2020, we entered into a royalty-bearing license agreement with Vernalis Development Limited (“License Agreement”) to exploit its licensed compounds and licensed products to combat symptoms of ACI and substance addiction. We are currently developing our lead product candidate, selonabant to quickly, and effectively, combat symptoms of ACI.
Previous report
On September 25, 2022, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which we sold and issued to the Purchasers in a private placement financing an aggregate of 2,264,650 units (collectively, the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of our common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of our common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6,647,000 (or $2.935 per Unit) (the “Private Placement”). The closing of the Private Placement occurred on September 28, 2022. The Company received approximately $6.3 million in net proceeds from the Private Placement after deducting offering costs of approximately $317,000. Each warrant has an exercise price of $4.215 per share, which is subject to customary adjustments in the event of any combination or split of our common stock, and has a five-year term.
Previous report
On October 6, 2023, the Company terminated without cause the employment of Simon Allen, who at the time was serving as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In connection with his termination, Mr. Allen resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). On October 6, 2023, the Board appointed Richard (Richie) Anthony Cunningham as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board.
Previous report
On January 31, 2024, the United States Adopted Names (USAN) Council adopted selonabant as the generic name for selonabant.
Previous report
The overall decrease in general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 compared with the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to an overall decrease in compensation and related benefits and stock-based compensation for executives and employees, professional and consultant fees, including legal and accounting fees, and a decrease in directors’ and officer’s insurance resulting from a decrease in yearly premium amounts. The Company has sought to reduce costs as it transitions to the next phase of development.
Previous report
Interest expense increased for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 due to closing of the Loan and Security Agreement on November 13, 2023, which resulted in amortization of loan commitment fees during the year ended June 30, 2024.
Previous report
Interest income increased for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 due to an increase in market interest rates earned on the Company’s savings and money market accounts.
Previous report
In February 2021, we entered into an agreement with a third-party CRO to manage and conduct our Phase 2 clinical trial for selonabant in the Netherlands, which was initiated in December 2021. The total cost for the CRO agreement wis approximately €2.8 million (approximately USD $3.1 million as of December 31, 2023) and was substantially completed as of December 31, 2023.
Reworded paragraphs (19)
Previous wording
We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing treatments for cannabis toxicity, such as unintentional cannabis poisoning, acute cannabinoid intoxication (“ACI”), and the broader landscape of acute cannabis-induced conditions. Our lead product candidate, selonabant (formerly ANEB-001), is intended to rapidly reverse the negative effects of cannabis toxicities and reduce time to recovery. Unintentional cannabis poisoning primarily occurs in children. Pediatric patients accidentally exposed to cannabis are at risk of serious and life-threatening outcomes including Central Nervous System (“CNS”) depression, respiratory depression, seizures, and coma. ACI in adults is characterized by signs and symptoms that may include anxiety, panic attacks, agitation, psychosis, and tachycardia. There is no approved medical treatment currently available to specifically treat ACI or unintentional cannabis poisoning or ACI, and we are not aware of any competing products that are further along in the development process than selonabant in reversing the effects of cannabinoids like delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, better known as THC, the principal psychoactive constituent of cannabis.

Previous wording
Unintentional cannabis poisoning and ACI have become a widespread health issue in the United States, particularly in the increasing number of states that have legalized cannabis for medical and recreational use. Unintentional or excessive ingestion of THC via edible products such as candies and brownies, and intoxication from synthetic cannabinoids (also known as “synthetics,” including “K2” or “spice”), are two potential causes of THC-related emergency room visits. Synthetic cannabinoids are analogous to fentanyl for opioids insofar as they are more potent at the cannabinoid receptor than their natural product congener THC.
Current wording
Cannabis-induced toxicity has become a widespread health issue in the United States, particularly in the increasing number of states that have legalized cannabis for medical and recreational use. Unintentional or excessive ingestion of THC via edible products such as gummies, candy, and brownies, is a major cause of THC-related emergency room visits.
Previous wording
Hospital emergency rooms across the United States have seen a dramatic increase in patient visits with cannabis-related conditions. Before the legalization of cannabis, an estimated 450,000 patients visited hospital emergency rooms annually for cannabis-related conditions. In 2014, this number more than doubled to an estimated 1.1 million patients, according to data published in “Trends and Characteristics of Cannabis-Associated Emergency Department Visits in the United States, 2006-2018,” Drug Alcohol Depend. 2022 Mar 1;232:109288. doi: 10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2022.109288. Epub 2022 Jan 10. PMID: 35033959; PMCID: PMC9885359) by Roehler DR, Hoots BE, Holland KM, Baldwin GT, and Vivolo-Kantor AM, which provided a national estimate analyzing data from The Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (“NEDS”), the largest database of U.S. hospital-owned emergency department visits. Based on our evaluation of a published analysis of the most recent NEDS data, we believe that the number of cannabis related emergency department visits grew to approximately 1.8 million patients in 2021. We believe the number of cannabis-related emergency department visits and health problems associated with unintentional cannabis poisoning and ACI will continue to increase substantially as more states pass laws legalizing cannabis for medical and recreational use. Given the consequences, there is an urgent need for a treatment to rapidly reverse the symptoms of unintentional cannabis poisoning and ACI.

Previous wording
Previous clinical trials completed by a third party have shown that oral selonabant is rapidly absorbed, well tolerated and, when repeatedly administered to obese subjects, leads to weight loss, an effect that is consistent with central antagonism of the cannabinoid receptor type-1 (“CB1”), the primary target of agonists like THC. In March 2021, our European clinical trial application (“CTA”), which is equivalent to an investigational new drug application in the United States, was accepted in the Netherlands to allow us to utilize oral selonabant in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 human proof-of-concept clinical trial for potential use as a treatment for ACI. The study (the “Netherlands Trial”) was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and effectiveness of a single oral dose of selonabant in treating healthy adult subjects challenged with THC. We announced on January 3, 2022, that the first patient had been dosed in the Netherlands Trial. On May 11, 2022, we announced the dosing of all 60 subjects in Part A of the Netherlands Trial. On March 28, 2023, we announced complete results from Part A and Part B of the Netherlands Trial, in a total of 134 subjects. Dosing of an additional 20 subjects in an open-label extension of the study (“Part C”) was initiated in July 2023 and the study was completed in August 2023. We met with the FDA in July 2023 for a Type B meeting to discuss the Part A and B Phase 2 data and the potential path forward for Phase 3 development of oral selonabant for the treatment of adult ACI and received the minutes of the meeting in August 2023. The FDA indicated that a single well-controlled study of oral selonabant in ACI patients presenting to the emergency department combined with a larger THC challenge study in volunteers could potentially provide substantial evidence to support a new drug application. In addition, an observational study in patients presenting to emergency departments with ACI is currently ongoing. The study is designed to determine concentrations of cannabinoids and metabolites in plasma and gather information on signs and symptoms, patients’ disposition and selected assessments, where possible. We believe the data generated from the Netherlands Trial provide support for our development pathway.

Rather than proceeding directly with the Phase 3 studies of oral selonabant in adults with ACI, we are prioritizing the advancement of a selonabant IV formulation as a potential treatment for pediatric patients with unintentional cannabis poisoning, which we believe offers the potential for a faster timeline to approval relative to the adult oral product. We are currently scaling up the intravenous formulation for initial clinical safety studies.
Current wording
Rather than proceeding directly with the Phase 3 studies of oral selonabant in adults with ACI, we are prioritizing the advancement of a selonabant IV formulation as a potential treatment for pediatric patients with cannabis-induced CNS depression, which we believe offers the potential for a faster timeline to approval relative to the adult oral product. We met with the FDA in December 2024 for a Pre-IND meeting to discuss the development of IV selonabant and the initial plan for clinical testing. FDA acknowledged the unmet need for a treatment for children exposed to cannabis toxicity, and proposed a close, ongoing collaboration to efficiently advance the selonabant program for the pediatric indication. We initiated a SAD study of IV selonabant in healthy adults in the third quarter of calendar 2025.
Previous wording
The recent decision by the United States Department of Justice to support the rescheduling of marijuana from a schedule I to a schedule III-controlled substance is a move that we believe will ultimately lead to increased use of cannabis-containing products among US households. This potentially includes edible products that are often the cause of unintentional cannabis poisoning in children. We have evaluated the potential advantages of prioritizing a near-term solution for children with more serious symptoms over progressing our plans for clinical studies to support an adult oral ACI treatment and have decided to focus current efforts on the pediatric indication at this time. Our decision to prioritize the development of an intravenous treatment for children is driven by multiple factors. Our recent development of a suitable IV selonabant formulation enables its use in the pediatric population. Our prior discussions with the FDA have highlighted the need for an alternative formulation of selonabant for treating younger patients. There is increasing recognition among clinicians that this is a growing, unmet medical need in a vulnerable population where there are no approved treatments. Our belief is that the path to approval for an oral treatment for adult ACI may be facilitated by an initial approval for intravenous treatment of unintentional cannabis poisoning in the pediatric population. Furthermore, with this unprecedented change in cannabis regulation, Anebulo is uniquely positioned to become a provider of a rapid and clinically impactful solution for Emergency Departments to treat pediatric patients suffering from unintentional cannabis poisoning. Research has shown children are much more sensitive to the toxic effects of cannabis. Key factors such as an underdeveloped endocannabinoid system with more CB1 receptors in the brain than adults, and reduced ability to metabolize THC, contribute to a much greater risk to children. The risk is also evident in how cannabis effects this population; in contrast to adults who are exposed to acute cannabis toxicity, children are at risk of serious and life-threatening outcomes such as CNS depression, respiratory depression, seizures, and coma.

The overall decrease in research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 compared with the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to a decrease in activities related to pre-clinical and clinical studies, and direct third-party costs incurred under agreements with CROs and CMOs for selonabant. We completed our Phase 2 proof of concept clinical trial for ACI during the first half of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, resulting in less expense than the comparable prior year. Rather than proceeding directly with the Phase 3 oral ACI studies in adults, we are prioritizing the advancement of a selonabant IV formulation as a potential treatment for pediatric patients with unintentional cannabis poisoning, which we believe offers the potential for a faster timeline to approval relative to the adult oral product. We are currently scaling up the IV formulation for initial clinical safety studies. We expect our research and development expenses to increase as we commence our next clinical trial.

Since our inception in April 2020, we have incurred significant operating losses. We expect to incur significant expenses and operating losses in the future as we advance the clinical development of our programs. In May 2021, we completed our IPO in which we received net proceeds of approximately $19.8 million. As noted above, on September 28, 2022, we closed the “Private Placement”, in which we received net proceeds of approximately $6.3 million. As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.1 million. We anticipate our cash and cash equivalents, plus available funding under the Loan and Security Agreement (“LSA”), will be sufficient to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements through at least 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements. As and if necessary, we will seek to raise these additional funds through various potential sources, such as equity and debt financings or through collaboration, license and development agreements. We can give no assurances that we will be able to secure such additional sources of funds to support our operations on acceptable terms or at all, or, if such funds are available to us, that such additional financing will be sufficient to meet our needs.

On November 13, 2023, we entered into the LSA with 22NW and JFL (the “Lenders”) which will allow us to draw up to $10 million (the “Facility Amount”) as needed to fund future operations until the Maturity Date. Pursuant to the LSA, if we elect to draw on the Facility Amount (an “Advance”), JFL has the right, but not the obligation to fund 50% of the Advance at our request. If JFL elects not to fund 50% of the Advance, then 22NW will fund 100% of the Advance. The outstanding balance will accrue interest at 0.25% per annum and no fee will be assessed on the unused balance. Upon the draw of at least $3 million in the aggregate, the LSA will be collateralized by substantially all of our assets. All principal drawn and interest accrued under the LSA will be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
Current wording
On November 13, 2023, we entered into the LSA with 22NW and JFL, as lenders, which originally allowed us to borrow up to $10 million as needed to fund future operations and provided that upon the draw of at least $3 million in the aggregate, the LSA will be collateralized by substantially all of our assets. On February 10, 2025, we modified the LSA, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which reduced the maximum loan advance to $3 million, removed all securitization provisions and provides that all rights, remedies and obligations of 22NW pursuant to the LSA have been assigned to 22NW Fund pursuant to the Loan Agreement, such that 22NW Fund and JFL are the lenders pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The outstanding balance of the Loan Agreement will accrue interest at 0.25% per annum and no fee will be assessed on the unused balance. The Loan Agreement will terminate and all outstanding principal drawn and interest accrued owed thereunder shall be due and payable on February 10, 2028 (the “Maturity Date”). In addition, the Loan Agreement requires that we issue 0.03 shares of our common stock per dollar loaned under the Loan Agreement, up to a maximum of 90,000 shares (the “Advance Shares”), with a minimum of 50,000 shares being issued in connection with the first advance made pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Advance Shares shall be issued to the Lenders on a pro rata basis according to the portion of each Advance such Lender funds. There was no balance outstanding under the Loan Agreement as of June 30, 2025 and through the date of the filing of this Annual report on Form 10-K and no balance outstanding under the LSA as of June 30, 2024. No balance has been drawn on the LSA or the Loan Agreement since inception.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, we used cash and cash equivalents of $8.2 million, which consists of cash used in operating activities of $8.1 million primarily resulting from our net loss of $8.2 million, partially offset by the non-cash related stock-based compensation of $0.8 million, non-cash amortization of loan commitment fee of $0.2 million, and a change in operating assets and liabilities of ($0.8) million. We also used cash from financing activities of approximately ($0.1) million primarily resulting from the payment of certain offering costs. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, we used cash in operating activities of $9.7 million primarily resulting from our net loss of $11.7 million, partially offset by the non-cash related stock-based compensation of approximately $0.9 million, and a change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.2 million. We also received cash from financing activities of approximately $6.4 million primarily resulting from the issuance of common stock and pre-funded warrants of approximately $6.6 million, net of offering costs of approximately $0.3 million.

Previous wording
We expect that our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 will enable us to fund our current and planned operating expenses and capital expenditures into the fourth quarter of calendar year 2025. We have based these estimates on assumptions that may prove to be imprecise, and we may exhaust our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with the development of our programs, we are unable to estimate the amounts of increased capital outlays and operating expenses associated with completing the research and development of our product candidates.

Previous wording
Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenue from sales of any of our current or future product candidates, to support our material cash requirements in the near-term (within one year) and long-term (beyond one year), we will need to seek additional equity or debt financing or potential collaboration, license or development agreements to provide the capital required to maintain or expand our operations, continue the development of our product candidate, build our sales and marketing capabilities, promote brand identity, develop or acquire complementary technologies, products or businesses, or provide for our working capital requirements and other operating and general corporate purposes. If we raise additional capital by issuing equity securities and/or equity-linked securities, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders may be reduced, and accordingly these stockholders may experience substantial dilution. We may also issue equity securities and/or equity-linked securities that provide rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of our common stock. The LSA does, and any additional debt financing, if obtained, may, involve agreements that include liens on our assets and covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions such as incurring additional debt. Debt financing could also be required to be repaid regardless of our operating results. If we raise funds through collaborations, license or development agreements, we may be required to relinquish some rights to our current or future products or revenue streams or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, or is not available at all, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate the development of our current or future product candidates and other business.
