According to the terms outlined in the agreement, the combined effective purchase price for each ordinary share or pre-funded warrant, along with an associated warrant to purchase one ordinary share, stands at $1.20. This strategic move, however, has not been without consequences for Mainz Biomed NV’s stock, which experienced a sharp decline in Monday morning trading.

The company’s decision to issue 4,166,667 ordinary shares (or pre-funded warrants) and warrants, exercisable at a price of $1.20 per share until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date, seems to have influenced investor sentiment.
