Sonoma Pharmaceuticals adopts Section 382 rights plan to protect NOLs, expiring Oct 6, 2036
Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
- Board approved a Section 382 rights agreement effective Oct 6, 2026 with Computershare Inc. as rights agent, replacing the Section 182 plan dated Oct 18, 2016 that expires Oct 18, 2026.
- One Right issued per share of common stock ($0.0001 par) outstanding on the Oct 13, 2026 record date; each Right buys 1/1000th of a share of Series B Preferred Stock at $10.00.
- Rights become exercisable if a person or group beneficially owns 4.99% or more of common stock; holders at 4.99%+ on Oct 6, 2026 are grandfathered up to a 0.5% increase.
- Rights expire the earlier of Oct 6, 2036 or when NOLs are exhausted, and are redeemable at $0.0001 per Right before a triggering event.
- Stated purpose: guard against an ownership change limiting Sonoma's net operating loss carryforwards, which it calls a substantial asset.
