As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $8.9 million in cash. With the completion of enrollment in its clinical trial of NRX-101 for bipolar depression, the Company anticipates a reduction in its monthly cash expenditure. Since inception, the Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each fiscal year. The Company has no revenues and expects to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. The Company’s ability to support its ongoing capital needs is dependent on its ability to continue to raise equity and/or debt financing, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all, in order to continue operations.

On March 8, 2023, NRx Pharmaceuticals entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “March Investors”), providing for the issuance and sale of 3,866,666 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) and warrants to purchase up to 3,866,666 shares of Common Stock (the “March Investor Warrants”) in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules for a purchase price of $0.75 per share (the “March Offering”). The March Investor Warrants have an exercise price of $0.75 per share, are exercisable beginning on September 8, 2023 (the “March Initial Exercise Date”) and will expire 5 years from

the March Initial Exercise Date. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the March Offering were approximately $2.9 million. The closing of the sale of these securities occurred on March 9, 2023.

On June 6, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (the “June Investors”), providing for the issuance and sale of 9,670,002 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and warrants to purchase up to 9,670,002 shares of Common Stock (the “June Investor Warrants”). The Common Stock was issued in a registered direct offering for a purchase price of $0.65 per share (the “June Offering”) and the June Investor Warrants were offered pursuant to a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The June Investor Warrants have an exercise price of $0.6525 per share, are initially exercisable beginning six months following the date of issuance (the “June Initial Exercise Date”) and will expire 5 years from the June Initial Exercise Date. The aggregate net cash proceeds to the Company from the June Offering were approximately $5.71 million.

On August 28, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Preferred Stock Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers (the “August Investors”), pursuant to which the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and one (1) investor warrant (each an “August Investor Warrant”) for every share of Series A Preferred Stock issued. The shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the August Investor Warrants were offered pursuant to a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. Each August Investor Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one (1) share of Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.40 per share. The aggregate purchase price for each share of Series A Preferred Stock and associated August Investor Warrant was $0.40.  The August Investor Warrants are exercisable starting on the six month anniversary of the date of issuance and will have a term of five years from the date of issuance. The August Investor Warrants may also be exercised during the initial six-month period after issuance, at the option of the August Investors, if the closing share price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $1.20 per share on any trading day. The aggregate net cash proceeds to the Company from the August Offering were approximately $1.2 million.

The Company’s ongoing clinical activities continue to generate losses and net cash outflows from operations. The Company plans to pursue additional equity or debt financing or refinancing opportunities in 2023 to fund ongoing clinical activities, to meet obligations under its current debt arrangements and for the general corporate purposes of the Company. Such arrangements may take the form of loans, equity offerings, strategic agreements, licensing agreements, joint ventures or other agreements. The sale of equity could result in additional dilution to the Company’s existing shareholders. The Company cannot make any assurances that additional financing will be available to it and, if available, on acceptable terms, or that it will be able to refinance its existing debt obligations which could negatively impact the Company’s business and operations and could also lead to a reduction in the Company’s operations. We will continue to carefully monitor the impact of our continuing operations on our working capital needs and debt repayment obligations. As such, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company may raise substantial additional funds, and if it does so, it may do so through one or more of the following: issuance of additional debt or equity and/or the completion of a licensing or other commercial transaction for one of the Company’s product candidates.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
