AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 12, 2026--
Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANEB), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing novel solutions for people suffering from acute cannabis-induced toxic effects (the "Company" or "Anebulo"), today announced financial results for the three months ended December 31, 2025, and recent updates.
Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2026 and Subsequent Highlights:
-- On February 6, 2026, Anebulo announced that the Company's board of
directors (the "Board") approved the voluntary delisting of the Company's
common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") and the subsequent
voluntary deregistration of its common stock with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission ("SEC") in order to terminate and suspend its
reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Exchange Act").
-- On February 6, 2026, Anebulo notified Nasdaq of its intention to
voluntarily delist its shares of common stock from Nasdaq. In connection
with the contemplated delisting, Anebulo intends to file a Form 25 with
the SEC on or about February 17, 2026. The delisting from Nasdaq is
expected to become effective on February 27, 2026, 10 days after filing
the Form 25 with the SEC. Anebulo intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC
on or about February 27, 2026, certifying that it has fewer than 300
shareholders of record. Upon filing the Form 15, Anebulo's obligation to
file periodic reports with the SEC will be immediately suspended.
The Company is in compliance with applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, but the Board believes that the cost of being an SEC reporting company outweighs the benefits. As the Company continues with its efforts to maximize value from its lead product candidate, the Board has determined that the burdens associated with operating as a registered public company listed on Nasdaq outweigh any advantages to the Company and the holders of its common stock. The Board's decision was based on the careful review of numerous factors, including the potential for eliminating the significant costs associated with preparing and filing periodic reports with the SEC and the legal, audit and other expenses associated with being a public reporting company listed on Nasdaq, as well as the substantial costs and demands on management's time under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards.
Following the delisting, any trading in Anebulo's common stock would only occur in privately negotiated sales and potentially on the over-the-counter market.
Financial Results for the three months ended December 31, 2025
-- Total operating expenses in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 were $2.6
million compared with $2.6 million in the same period in fiscal 2025.
-- Net loss in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 was $2.0 million, or
$(0.05) per share, compared with a net loss of $2.5 million, or $(0.09)
per share, in the second quarter of fiscal 2025.
-- Cash and cash equivalents were $9.0 million as of December 31, 2025.
The Company also has access to an additional $3.0 million in cash through
a Loan Agreement.
About Selonabant
The Company's lead product candidate is selonabant (ANEB-001), a potent, small molecule antagonist of the cannabinoid receptor type-1 ("CB1"), under development to address the unmet medical need for a specific antidote for acute cannabis-induced toxicity, including acute cannabinoid intoxication ("ACI") in adults and cannabis poisoning in pediatric subjects. The Company anticipates that selonabant will rapidly reverse key symptoms of acute cannabis-induced toxicity. Selonabant has been successfully formulated for oral administration in clinical studies and as a potential intravenous treatment for clinical testing. In a Phase 2 proof-of-concept study in adult subjects challenged with oral delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") (www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05282797), oral selonabant blocked or reversed key CNS effects of THC. Selonabant was well tolerated in this study and there were no serious adverse events. In the open-label extension of the study, THC challenge doses of 40 mg and 60 mg were well-tolerated when dosed in combination with oral selonabant, and all treatment-related adverse events were mild and transient. The prior Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies of oral selonabant have together enrolled a total of 250 subjects, of which 191 received selonabant. Selonabant is protected by three issued US patents and rights to six additional patent applications, two pending Patent Cooperation Treaty $(PCT)$ applications and additional international patent applications, covering various methods of use of the compound, aspects of selonabant, and delivery systems. An observational study in patients presenting to Emergency Departments with cannabis toxicity is currently ongoing and is being amended to focus on pediatric patients. The study is intended to determine concentrations of cannabinoids and metabolites in plasma and gather information on signs and symptoms, treatment, and patient disposition, including hospital/ICU admission.
About Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Anebulo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing novel solutions for people suffering from cannabis-induced toxicity. Its lead product candidate, selonabant, has completed a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating its utility in blocking and reversing the negative effects of acute cannabinoid intoxication in healthy adults challenged with oral THC. Rather than proceeding directly with Phase 3 studies of oral selonabant in adults with ACI, the Company is prioritizing the advancement of a selonabant IV formulation as a potential treatment for pediatric patients with acute cannabis-induced toxicity, which it believes offers the potential for a faster timeline to approval relative to the adult oral product. Anebulo has scaled up the intravenous formulation for initial clinical safety studies, and initiated a Phase 1 SAD study of IV selonabant in September 2025. Selonabant is a competitive antagonist at the human CB1 receptor. For further information about Anebulo, please visit www.anebulo.com.
