Current report
In the event that we are unable to utilize our current premises and need to relocate, we will be required to comply with regulatory requirements as to the operation of our laboratory, which could have had a material adverse effect on the conduct of our clinical trials and on our business.
Current report
We are utilizing our laboratory, which includes a cGMP ISO-7 certified clean room, to provide the cell processing services necessary for the clinical production ofBRTX-100for our Phase 2 disc clinical trial and to manufacture our commercial product. In the event that we are required to relocate our premises, whether due to a casualty event or otherwise, we will be required to comply with regulatory requirements as to the operation of our laboratory which could have a material adverse effect on the conduct of our clinical trials and on our business.
Current report
The recent extensive use of both FDA-approved and compounded version of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist drug products, such as Wegovy and Ozempic (semaglutide), including the launch of FDA-approved oral Wegovy in January 2026, for the treatment of obesity has significantly increased the competition in the obesity market.
Current report
We may also face competition from unapproved stem cell therapies performed by treatment centers that do not comply with FDA requirements. Despite FDA’s successful enforcement against unapproved stem cell treatments in the federal courts (United States v. Regenerative Sciences, LLC(2014 D.C. Cir.),United States v. U.S. Stem Cell Clinic LLC(2021 11 th Cir.) andUnited States v. California Stem Cell Treatment Center, Inc. (2024 9 th Cir.cert. denied) thousands of clinics continue to offer unapproved stem cell therapies due to high demand, FDA enforcement limitations, and tactical rebranding to avoid FDA enforcement action. FDA lacks the resources to bring enforcement actions against thousands of individual small-office clinics simultaneously. Therefore, we could face competition from stem cell clinics that would not be required to undergo the costly and time-consuming FDA approval and compliance process.
Current report
We also have an effective registration statement on Form S-1 with regard to the resale of up to 508,592 shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants.
Current report
Pursuant to our February 2026 public offering of securities, we issued warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 14,285,715 shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,725,000 shares of common stock (all of which have been exercised) and placement agent warrants for the purchase of 1,000,000 shares of common stock. We have an effective registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act registering the issuance of such shares. The shares issuable pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 will be freely tradable in the public market, except for shares held by affiliates.
Current report
As of March 23, 2026, there were outstanding in the aggregate (i) warrants to purchase up to 19,780,753 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $1.39 per share; and (ii) options to purchase up to 5,229,325 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.58 per share. The issuance of shares of common stock upon the exercise of the above warrants and options would dilute the ownership of our stockholders.
Current report
Our common stock is classified as a “penny stock;” the restrictions of the penny stock regulations of the SEC may result in less liquidity for our common stock.
Current report
The SEC has adopted regulations which define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock by a retail customer, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about commissions payable to both the broker/dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The market price for shares of our common stock is currently below $5.00 and we do not satisfy any of the exceptions to the SEC’s definition of penny stock. Accordingly, our common stock is currently classified as a penny stock. As a result of the penny stock restrictions, brokers or potential investors may be reluctant to trade in our securities, which may result in less liquidity for our shares.
Current report
Our failure to meet the continued listing standards of Nasdaq could result in a delisting of our common stock.
Current report
On March 26, 2026, we received a notice from Nasdaq notifying us that, because the closing bid price for our shares of common stock was less than $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we were no longer in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq. Rule 5550(a)(2) of Nasdaq’s Marketplace Rules, or the Nasdaq Rules, requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) of the Nasdaq Rules provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days.
Current report
Pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) of the Nasdaq Rules, we have been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until September 22, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If we do not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by September 22, 2026, we may be afforded a second 180 calendar day grace period. To qualify, we would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other standards for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, we would be required to provide written notice of our intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during this second 180-day compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
Current report
If it appears to the staff of Nasdaq that we will not be able to cure the deficiency in connection with the minimum bid price requirement, or if we are otherwise not eligible for the additional compliance period, and we do not regain compliance by September 22, 2026 for the minimum bid price requirement, Nasdaq will provide written notification to us that our shares of common stock are subject to delisting. At that time, we may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Rules.

Risks Relating to Late Filing of our Periodic Report

Risks Relating to Late Filing of our Periodic Report
Previous report
Our failure to prepare and timely file our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 with the SEC limits our access to the public markets to raise debt or equity capital for a period of time.
Previous report
We filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024 with the SEC late on June 11, 2024; therefore, at such time, we were not current in our reporting requirements with the SEC. We are not currently eligible, without receiving a waiver from the SEC, to register our securities pursuant to a short-form registration statement on Form S-3 or a “shelf” registration statement until June 2025. After such date, we must maintain status as a current filer. If we wish to pursue an offering now, we would be required to conduct the offering on an exempt basis or file a registration statement on Form S-1. Using a Form S-1 registration statement for a public offering could take significantly longer than using a registration statement on Form S-3 and increase our transaction costs, and could, to the extent we are not able to conduct offerings using alternative methods, adversely impact our ability to raise capital or complete acquisitions of other companies in a timely manner.
Previous report
We may also face increased competition from stem cell therapies performed by treatment centers that do not require FDA premarket approval. In August 2022, a federal District Court in the case ofUnited States v. California Stem Cell Treatment Center, Inc. held that certain autologous adipose stem cell treatments were not “biological products” and therefore did not require FDA approval. The decision was reversed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, but may be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Should it be reversed by the Supreme Court, we could face competition from stem cell clinics that would not be required to undergo the costly and time-consuming FDA approval process.
Previous report
Further, we have an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act registering $75,000,000 of our equity and debt securities. Pursuant to the requirements of Form S-3, we currently may sell pursuant to such Form S-3, during any 12 month period, securities having an aggregate market value of no more than one-third of the aggregate market value of the shares of our common stock held by non-affiliates.

Previous wording
We have a limited operating history. Since our inception, we have incurred net losses. As of December 31, 2024, our accumulated deficit was $155,678,715. Our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years then ended which are included in this Annual Report following Item 16 (“Form 10-K Summary”) have been prepared on the basis that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and satisfying liabilities in the normal course of business. For the year ended December 31, 2024, we had a net loss of $9.0 million and a negative cash flows from operations of $8.2 million and as of December 31, 2024, we had working capital of $7.4 million. We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses and negative cash flows from operations as we execute our development plans for 2025 and beyond, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for at least twelve months after the issuance date of the financial statements included herein. Our current funds will not be sufficient to enable us to fully complete our development activities or attain profitable operations. If we are unable to obtain such needed additional financing on a timely basis, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate. The report of our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years then ended indicates that our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern. The report states that, as of December 31, 2024 there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the issuance date of such financial statements. Our plans in regard to these matters are described in footnote 1 to such financial statements. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Except for a certain license agreement with Regenerative Sciences, LLC, a product manufacturing agreement with Cartessa Aesthetics, LLC, and agreements relating to the conduct of our Phase 2 clinical trial, we do not have any material agreements or understandings in place with respect to the implementation of our business strategy. No assurances can be given that we will be able to enter into any necessary agreements with respect to the development of our business. Our inability to enter into any such agreements would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of Lance Alstodt, our Chief Executive Officer. We rely upon him for strategic business decisions and guidance. We are also dependent on the performance of Francisco Silva, our Vice President of Research and Development. Each of Messrs. Alstodt and Silva is subject to an employment agreement with us. We do not have any key-man insurance policies on the lives of either of our executive officers. We believe that our future success in developing marketable products and services and achieving a competitive position will depend in large part upon whether we can attract and retain additional qualified management and scientific personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain such personnel. The loss of the services of Mr. Alstodt and/or Mr. Silva or the inability to attract and retain additional personnel and develop expertise as needed would have a substantial negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We are dependent upon the successful development, approval and commercialization of our product candidates. Before we are able to seek regulatory approval of our product candidates, we must conduct and complete extensive clinical trials to demonstrate their safety and efficacy in humans. Our lead product candidate,BRTX-100, is in early stages of development and we have just recently commenced a Phase 2 clinical trial usingBRTX-100 to treat chronic lower back pain due to degenerative disc disease related to protruding/bulging discs.

We anticipate that we will not be able to commercialize ourBRTX-100 product candidate for at least five years.
Current wording
We anticipate that we will not be able to commercialize ourBRTX-100 product candidate for at least five years; however, due to the unknowns relating to the FDA regulatory process, such time period may be longer or shorter.
Previous wording
We have just recently commenced the clinical trials necessary to obtain FDA approval to market our product candidate,BRTX-100. Since we lack significant experience in completing clinical trials and bringing a drug through commercialization, we have hired outside consultants with such experience. Clinical trials forBRTX-100and other product candidates in development may be delayed or terminated as a result of many factors, including the following:

Previous wording
The enactment of the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act of 2009, or BPCIA, created an abbreviated regulatory pathway for the approval of products demonstrated to be biosimilar, or “highly similar,” to or “interchangeable” with an FDA-approved innovator (original) biologic product. The abbreviated regulatory pathway establishes legal authority for the FDA to review and approve biosimilar biologics, including the possible designation of a biosimilar as “interchangeable” based on its similarity to an existing reference product. Under the BPCIA, an application for a biosimilar product cannot be approved by the FDA until 12 years after the original branded product is approved under a biologics license application, or BLA. The FDA has developed considerable experience with the biosimilar and interchangeable biosimilar processes since the enactment of the BPCIA in 2009. Should any of our product candidates be approved via the BLA pathway, we expect that biosimilar applicants will seek approval of biosimilar, and/or interchangeable, versions of our product that could result in lower prices for our products.

We rely on information technology systems to keep financial records, maintain laboratory and corporate records, communicate with staff and external parties and operate other critical functions. Any significant degradation or failure of these computer systems could cause us to inaccurately calculate or lose data. Despite the implementation of security measures, these internal computer systems and those used by our clinical investigators, clinical research organizations, and other contractors and consultants are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, unauthorized access, natural disasters, terrorism, war, and telecommunication and electrical failures. The techniques that could be used by criminal elements or foreign governments to attack these computer systems are sophisticated, change frequently and may originate from less regulated and remote areas of the world. While we have not experienced any such system failure, theft of information, accident or security breach to date, if such an event were to occur and cause interruptions in our operations, it could result in a material disruption of our clinical development activities. For example, the loss of clinical trial data from historical or future clinical trials could result in delays in regulatory approval efforts and significantly increase costs to recover or reproduce the data. To the extent that any disruption, theft of information, or security breach were to result in a loss of or damage to data or applications, or inappropriate disclosure of confidential or proprietary information, we could incur liability and the clinical development and the future development of our product candidates could be delayed.

We manufacture a commercial product as a contract manufacturer for a third-party company, Cartessa. While we believe the product we manufacture for Cartessa is intended for cosmetic uses, we (as the contract manufacturer) do not ultimately have control over how the product is marketed. It is possible that the FDA could determine, based on how the product is marketed (among other considerations), that it is intended for unapproved therapeutic use(s), which could result in the temporary or permanent suspension of manufacturing and/or commercialization of the product and/or a wide range of enforcement actions, such as warning letters, recall, ‘dear doctor’ letters, and others. If the FDA takes enforcement action against Cartessa or us in connection with this product, it could have an adverse impact on our operations and/or harm our reputation as a biologics company.

Our common stock is listed on Nasdaq. However, no assurance can be given that an active market for our common stock will be sustained. In addition, although there have been market makers in our common stock, we cannot assure that these market makers will continue to make a market in our securities or that other factors outside of our control will not cause them to stop market making in our securities. Making a market in securities involves maintaining bid and ask quotations and being able to effect transactions in reasonable quantities at those quoted prices, subject to various securities laws and other regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the development and maintenance of a public trading market depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence of which is not within our control or that of any market maker. Market makers are not required to maintain a continuous two-sided market, are required to honor firm quotations for only a limited number of securities, and are free to withdraw firm quotations at any time. Even with a market maker, factors such as our past losses from operations and the small size of our company mean that there can be no assurance of an active and liquid market for our securities developing in the foreseeable future. Even if there is a market for our securities, we cannot assure that securityholders will be able to resell their securities at any price.

We currently have authorization to issue up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock of which, as of March 26, 2025, 7,504,780 shares were issued and outstanding. In addition, as discussed in Item 1 (“Business – Business Development – Material Events During 2024”), we are obligated to issue an additional 1,138,055 shares of common stock. We are not restricted from issuing additional shares of our common stock in the future, including securities convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, shares of our common stock. In addition, there are 1,398,158 shares of Series B preferred stock issued and outstanding. Such shares are convertible under certain circumstances into an equal number of shares of common stock.

Pursuant to our November 2021 public offering of securities, we issued warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 2,645,000 shares of common stock (of which warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,675,000 shares of common stock have been exercised) as well as underwriter warrants for the purchase of 235,970 shares of common stock. We have an effective registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act registering the issuance of such shares. The shares issuable pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-3 will be freely tradable in the public market, except for shares held by affiliates. In addition, in connection with the public offering and pursuant to exchange agreements entered into with holders of convertible notes and warrants, we issued an aggregate of 313,789 shares of common stock and warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,856,938 shares of common stock (of which warrants for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,676,580 shares of common stock have been exercised). The shares of common stock issued to such holders are eligible for resale in the open market (subject to Rule 144 volume limitations applicable to affiliates), potentially causing sales in the market to increase and our stock price to decline. We have registered the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants. The issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the above warrants would dilute the ownership of our stockholders.

As of March 27, 2025, options to purchase 5,237,973 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 2021 Plan. The shares issued and issuable pursuant to the registration statements on Form S-8 will be freely tradable in the public market, except for shares held by affiliates. We may include a resale prospectus in a registration statement on Form S-8 with regard to the 2021 Plan covering the resale of the shares issuable to Messrs. Alstodt and Silva (and other affiliates) upon their exercise of options held by them and shares issued to them upon the vesting of restricted stock units, or RSUs, issued to them.

We are incorporated in Nevada. Anti-takeover provisions in Nevada law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us and may prevent stockholders from receiving a premium for their securities. Our certificate of incorporation provides that our Board of Directors may issue up to 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, without stockholder approval and with such terms, preferences, rights and privileges as the Board of Directors may deem appropriate. Of such 20,000,000 authorized shares, 1,398,158 shares of Series B preferred stock are issued and outstanding. These provisions and other factors may hinder or prevent a change in control, even if the change in control would be perceived as beneficial to, or sought by, our other stockholders.
