Calidi Biotherapeutics (NYSEMKT:CLDI) stock is falling on Tuesday after the clinical-stage immuno-oncology company priced a public offering of its shares.

The company is selling 15,197,500 shares of CLDI stock for 40 cents per share. Each of these shares also comes with several warrants to acquire additional shares of Calidi Biotherapeutics.

The warrants included in this offering include Series A Common Warrants and Series B Unit Warrants. Each includes one share of CLDI stock, a Series B-1 Common Warrant, and a Series C Unit Warrant. The Series B-1 Common Warrant and Series C Unit Warrant are exercisable for one share of common stock and a Series C-1 Common Warrant.

All of the common warrants in this offering are exercisable for 60 cents. Series A Common Warrants, Series B Unit Warrants and Series C Unit Warrants are exercisable immediately.

CLDI Stock Offering Plans

Calidi Biotherapeutics notes that it expects gross proceeds of $6.1 million from this offering. The company intends to use this money for working capital and general corporate purposes, as well as for pre-clinical and clinical trials.

The reason all this has sent the stock down today is the fear of dilution of stockholders’ stakes in Calidi Biotherapeutics. Adding to that is the offering price of 40 cents being below its prior closing price.

CLDI stock is down 50.8% as of Tuesday morning.
