AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Aethlon Medical announces an all-stock merger with North Immunology, creating a combined company to trade as NRTX on Nasdaq Capital Market. A $180 million private placement backs the deal, supporting NOR-101 development and Hemopurifier monetization through contingent rights. Close is targeted for Q1 2027, subject to approvals; the deal pledges substantial equity value and a clear pipeline plan, but triggers meaningful dilution for existing AEMD holders.

  • Pre-merger AEMD holders ~4.75% ownership; North Immunology ~95.25% ownership post-merger.
  • $180M private placement funds support operations through 2H 2028.
