The company raised $5.4 million in gross proceeds from a private placement in February 2023, which is expected to fund general working capital and strategic pursuits. However, Exicure's liquidity is not expected to sustain operations for the next twelve months, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The company is actively exploring strategic alternatives, including potential transactions in industries unrelated to its historical operations, as it currently has no revenue source or committed financing. Exicure may seek bankruptcy protection if unable to raise capital, which could lead to stockholders receiving minimal value for their shares. The company also reported a change of control with CBI USA now holding approximately 50.4% of outstanding shares and designating three board members. Exicure has received several deficiency notices from Nasdaq and is working to regain compliance with listing requirements.
