8. Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events from the balance sheet date through August 13, 2025, the date at which the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

 

Convertible note and warrant private placements

 

In July 2025, the Company completed a private placement of zero-interest convertible notes, raising $2.0 million in gross proceeds. The notes mature on June 30, 2026, and are convertible at any time into up to 1,730,104 shares of common stock at a fixed price of $1.156 per share. If, at any time while the convertible notes remain outstanding, the Company issues shares of common stock or common stock equivalents in an offering for gross proceeds of at least $5.0 million (a “Subsequent Issuance”), the entire unpaid principal amount of the convertible notes will convert automatically into the same securities issued pursuant to the Subsequent Issuance. In connection with the notes, investors also received five-year warrants to purchase 865,052 shares of common stock at the same $1.156 exercise price, providing approximately $50,000 in additional cash proceeds.

 

These notes were subsequently converted into shares of non-voting convertible preferred stock and warrants in connection with the private placement described below.

 

The Company’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Richard Kenney, participated in the private placement and purchased notes for a principal amount of $0.2 million and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 86,505 shares of common stock. As described below, the notes converted into shares of non-voting convertible preferred stock, which are convertible into an aggregate of 160,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 320,000 shares of common stock.

 

Business combination

 

On July 11, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with Rorschach I LLC (“Rorschach”), Hyperliquid Strategies Inc. (“HSI”), TBS Merger Sub Inc., and Rorschach Merger Sub, LLC, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions contained in the BCA, Rorschach Merger Sub, LLC, will merge with and into Rorschach with Rorschach surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HSI and TBS Merger Sub Inc. will merge with and into Sonnet, with Sonnet surviving as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HSI. Following the closing, the Company will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of HSI and will continue to focus on the development of its existing biotech assets, including SON-1010, while disposing of other assets. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by the Company’s stockholders, and is expected to close in the second half of calendar 2025. In connection with the transaction, legacy Sonnet stockholders and certain other equity holders of record will receive contingent value rights (CVRs) tied to the potential future value of the Company’s biotech assets.

 

Preferred stock and warrant private placement

 

Concurrently with the signing of the BCA, the Company raised an aggregate of $5.5 million in a private placement to accredited investors through the issuance and sale of an aggregate of 5,500 shares of non-voting convertible preferred stock, convertible into up to an aggregate of 4,400,000 shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,800,000 shares of common stock. At the closing of the PIPE, the $2.0 million principal amount of convertible notes issued in July 2025 automatically converted into shares of convertible preferred stock and warrants on the same terms as the PIPE investors.

 

Exercise of warrants

 

In July 2025, holders exercised outstanding warrants to purchase 3,421,624 shares of common stock, resulting in gross proceeds of $10.5 million to the Company. In accordance with the BCA, any cash proceeds in excess of $3.0 million received from the exercise of warrants may not be spent by the Company without the prior written consent of Rorschach.
