Alto Neuroscienc SEC Filings

TEN Holdings, Inc. ("XHLD") has obtained written consent from its 64.9% majority stockholder to approve two dilutive share issuances that together exceed the 20% threshold set by Nasdaq Rule 5635(d):

• Settlement Agreement with Sunpeak Holdings Corp. ("SHC") – $4.91 million debt-for-equity swap. SHC purchased claims against the Company and is receiving shares priced at the 23-Apr-2025 closing price (subject to adjustment) plus 175,000 fee shares. Court approval under Section 3(a)(10) was obtained on 30-Apr-2025, and 5.56 million shares (including fee shares) have already been issued through 25-Jun-2025.
• Purchase Agreement (equity line) with Lincoln Park Capital – up to $20 million. Over a 24-month term beginning after an effective resale registration statement, TEN can direct Lincoln Park to buy up to 100,000–175,000 shares per draw (max $750k per draw). Pricing equals 97% of the lower of (i) the lowest trade on the draw date or (ii) the average of the three lowest closes in the prior 10 trading days. Lincoln Park received 882,145 commitment shares up-front and is barred from shorting. The Company may terminate the facility at any time.

The Board believes these “Corporate Issuances” will (i) extinguish $4.91 million of liabilities and (ii) provide flexible, discretionary access to $20 million of growth or working-capital funding. Because each transaction could result in the issuance of ≥20% of pre-transaction outstanding shares at below the Nasdaq “Minimum Price,” stockholder approval was required and was granted via written consent dated 08-Jul-2025.

Dilution impact: As of the 08-Jul-2025 record date, TEN had 35.1 million shares outstanding. The SHC settlement has already added ~5.6 million shares (≈16%), and the Lincoln Park facility plus remaining SHC shares could add materially more, reducing existing holders’ voting power. SHC’s ownership is capped at 4.99% and Lincoln Park is subject to 9.99% beneficial-ownership and per-draw dollar limits, but cumulative dilution could exceed 40% if the full $20 million is drawn at low prices.

Key terms & safeguards: default triggers under the SHC agreement if the share price falls to ≤$0.25 or 30-day average volume drops below 100k; no “at-the-market” or additional equity lines for 24 months; court fairness opinion under Section 3(a)(10) provides Securities Act registration exemption; no dissenter appraisal rights.

Mailing of the Information Statement starts in July 2025; the actions become effective ~20 days later (on or about Aug-2025). No further stockholder action or proxies are required.

JPMorgan Chase Financial Company LLC is offering Buffer Autocallable GEARS (Growth Enhanced Asset Return Securities) linked to the Nikkei 225 Index. The unsecured notes combine an automatic call feature, geared upside participation and partial downside protection, but expose investors to significant market and credit risk.

Key commercial terms

• Issue price: $10 per note (minimum $1,000).
• Term: up to 3 years; automatically called if the Nikkei 225 closes ≥ 100 % of the Initial Value on the single Observation Date (23 Jul 2026).
• Call payment: principal + 15 % Call Return (i.e. $11.50 per $10) on 27 Jul 2026; no further upside thereafter.
• If not called and the index is positive at maturity (21 Jul 2028), payment = principal + (Index return × Upside Gearing 1.20–1.55).
• If index return ≤ 0 % and final level ≥ 90 % of Initial Value, principal is repaid.
• If final level < 90 %, repayment = principal + (Index return + 10 % Buffer); loss of 1 % principal for every 1 % decline beyond the buffer, up to a 90 % maximum loss.
• Estimated value on pricing date: between $9.30–$9.605 per $10, below issue price due to fees and hedging costs.
• Secondary market: unlisted; liquidity solely at JPMS’s discretion.

Risk highlights

• Principal at risk: up to 90 % loss if Nikkei 225 falls > 10 % and no call occurs.
• Credit exposure: payments depend on JPMorgan Financial and JPMorgan Chase & Co.; notes are unsecured & unsubordinated.
• Limited upside: 15 % cap if called; geared participation applies only if held to maturity and not called.
• No income: no coupons or dividends; investors forgo Nikkei dividends.
• Liquidity & valuation: estimated value below issue price; secondary market prices likely lower and affected by internal funding rate.

The product may suit investors with a moderately bullish to neutral 1-year view on the Nikkei 225, tolerance for high downside risk, and willingness to hold an illiquid, credit-sensitive note for up to three years.

Form 4 filing – Insider transaction at Gevo (GEVO)

Executive Vice President L. Lynn Smull reported the disposition of 3,928.83 shares of Gevo common stock on 01 Jul 2025 at an average price of $1.33 per share. The shares were held in and sold through the company’s 401(k) plan; a footnote clarifies that 20.63 of those shares were liquidated between 11 Jun 2025 and 07 Jul 2025 to cover plan administrative fees.

After the transaction, Smull’s indirect 401(k) position stands at 18,098.05 shares. A separate line in the filing indicates 1,171,550 shares of direct ownership, suggesting the officer maintains a substantial equity stake. No derivative securities were reported, and the filing does not reference the use of a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan.

The sale represents a very small fraction of Smull’s total holdings and is unlikely to have a material effect on Gevo’s share float or signal a strategic outlook change. The form appears timely and complete, satisfying Section 16 reporting obligations.

PENGUIN SOLUTIONS, INC. – FQ3 2025 (quarter ended 30 May 2025)

The first quarterly report issued after the U.S. redomiciliation (30 Jun 2025) shows continued top-line expansion but mixed bottom-line results as the company absorbs restructuring and financing costs.

• Revenue momentum: Net sales grew 7.9 % YoY to $324.3 million (nine-month YTD +20 % to $1.03 billion). Growth was driven by product sales (+11 % YoY) while service revenue slipped 2.9 %.
• Margins: Quarterly gross margin eased 30 bp to 29.3 %. An $5.3 million goodwill impairment related to the wind-down of the Penguin Edge business pushed operating margin down to 3.0 % (vs 3.8 %).
• Earnings: GAAP net income attributable to common fell to $2.7 million (-53 % YoY). After $3.0 million preferred dividends tied to the SK Telecom $200 million convertible preferred investment, common shareholders posted a -$0.01 diluted EPS versus +$0.10 a year earlier. YTD diluted EPS improved to $0.18 (FY24 YTD: -$0.53) on higher sales and lower interest expense.
• Cash & liquidity: Cash and equivalents surged to $709.9 million (Aug-24: $383.1 million) after the SKT investment, strong operating cash flow ($183.6 million YTD) and receipt of the $28.4 million deferred payment from the SMART Brazil sale. Current ratio stands at 2.6×.
• Capital structure: Total debt is stable at $659.5 million; net cash improved to ~+$50 million. $300 million TLA matures 2027; first convertible notes maturity ($20 million) in 2026.
• Shareholder returns: 2.46 million shares repurchased for $40.9 million YTD; $36.8 million remains under the $75 million January 2024 authorization.
• Corporate actions: • Completed redomiciliation to Delaware; Nasdaq ticker unchanged (PENG) effective 1 Jul 2025. • Continued wind-down of Penguin Edge expected to fully impair remaining $4.7 million goodwill by end-2025.

Outlook considerations

• Management expects positive free cash flow from the Edge wind-down but acknowledges further goodwill charges.
• Preferred dividends (6 % PIK/cash) will pressure EPS until potential conversion or redemption (earliest 2029 at company option).
• Remaining share-buyback flexibility, robust cash and lighter interest burden offer balance-sheet optionality.

Key points:

• Phase 2 study delivered a favorable pharmacodynamic signal; no numerical efficacy or safety data were released.
