Summary
Onconetix, a commercial-stage biotech trading on Nasdaq at $1.03 per share (as of June 5, 2026), is registering 3,691,492 shares for resale by selling stockholder Keystone Capital Partners. The company receives no proceeds from this offering. Keystone holds shares under an equity line of credit (ELOC) agreement capped at $25 million, of which $11.3 million has been drawn through June 5, 2026.
Keystone purchases shares at a 10% discount to market, and 30% of gross proceeds must redeem Series C Preferred Stock rather than fund operations. The company faces severe liquidity constraints. Auditors have raised substantial doubt about Onconetix's ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the financial statement date.
As of June 5, 2026, the company had $6.5 million in cash but burned $2.1 million in Q1 2026 and carries a $135.4 million accumulated deficit. The company reported a $14 million GAAP net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 (down from $58.7 million in 2024) and negative operating cash flow of $9.7 million in 2025. Management expects continued substantial losses. The company also faces Nasdaq delisting risk for failing to maintain the $1.00 minimum bid price and has appealed to a Nasdaq panel with no assurance of a favorable decision. Onconetix's revenue prospects depend heavily on Labcorp, which holds an exclusive U.S. license to commercialize Proclarix, the company's prostate cancer diagnostic. Onconetix has no control over Labcorp's efforts. The company abandoned its ENTADFI program (an FDA-approved BPH treatment) and destroyed all inventory as of December 31, 2025. On February 11, 2026, Onconetix entered into an agreement to acquire Realbotix in exchange for newly issued Common Stock; the Realbotix seller will own 75-90% of the company's fully diluted shares post-closing, depending on Onconetix's Net Cash at closing ($12.5 million to $20 million or more required). The going-concern doubt and Labcorp concentration are material structural concerns.

We believe that our current cash balance is not sufficient to fund its operations for one year from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements for the year. While such capital raises may enable us to sustain current operations and meet existing obligations, we continue to generate recurring net operating losses and have not yet established sustained positive cash flows to support our strategic growth initiatives. Such initiatives include the commercialization of Proclarix and our development and commercialization of future product candidates. These factors raise substantial doubt on our ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of issuance of our consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026.
The company discloses substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date of its financial statements.

As provided in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a) (2), companies listed on Nasdaq are required Capital Market to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”).
There are no assurances that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or an extension to demonstrate compliance. If the Company does not obtain a favorable decision from the Panel, its Common Stock will become subject to delisting.
The company is at risk of Nasdaq delisting for failing to maintain the $1.00 minimum bid price.

the Company may not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock to Keystone under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by Keystone and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in Keystone beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “ELOC Blocker”).
The company has an equity line of credit (ELOC) with Keystone Capital, structured so Keystone cannot beneficially own more than 4.99% of outstanding shares at any time. This blocker limits how much capital the company can raise in a single draw and protects existing shareholders from immediate dilution beyond that threshold, though the company can make repeated draws as Keystone sells shares.

Pursuant to the ELOC Purchase Agreement, up to 30% of the proceeds from each Fixed Purchase and VWAP Purchase Notice must be used to redeem shares of Series C Preferred Stock.
