Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis of NRx Pharmaceuticals’ financial condition and plan of operations together with NRx Pharmaceuticals' consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing elsewhere herein. In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. NRx Pharmaceuticals’ actual results may differ materially from those discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below, and those discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” included elsewhere herein.

NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) (“NRX” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage bio-pharmaceutical company which develops and will distribute, through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, NeuroRx, Inc. (“NeuroRx”), and HOPE Therapeutics, Inc. (“HOPE”), novel therapeutics for the treatment of central nervous system disorders including suicidal depression, chronic pain, and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) and now schizophrenia. All of our current drug development activities are focused drugs that modulate on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (“NMDA”) receptor in the brain and nervous system, a neurochemical pathway that has been disclosed in detail in our annual filings. NeuroRx is organized as a traditional research and development ("R&D") company, whereas HOPE is organized as a specialty pharmaceutical company intended to distribute ketamine and other therapeutic options to clinics that serve patients with suicidal depression and PTSD. The Company has two lead drug candidates that are expected to be submitted by year end for Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval with anticipated FDA decision dates under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) by the end of June 2025: NRX-101, an oral fixed dose combination of D-cycloserine and lurasidone and NRX-100, a preservative-free formulation of ketamine for intravenous infusion.

The 2024 fiscal year marked a period of both expansion and change for NRx. During the year the Company implemented a restructuring of its leadership to address challenges related to capital formation, clinical trial enrollment, and corporate development. These efforts led to measurable achievements in 2024 and positioned the Company for growth and the achievement of our development objectives in 2025. During 2024 and through the date of this Annual Report, the Company has achieved the following:

Financing

We consummated a series of financing agreements with an institutional investor for up to $16.3 million in debt capital, for which we closed on $10.87 million in 2024 and subsequently closed $8.5 million in a combination of convertible debt and an above-market common stock and warrant offering in January 2025. We were presented with and are currently negotiating a term sheet with a publicly-traded strategic investor to provide additional capital to support the expansion of HOPE clinics. In addition, management is negotiating with several commercial lenders to provide additional financing to support the acquisition of additional clinics on standard commercial loan terms. Although no assurances can be given, and assuming we’re able to consummate the proposed financings, management believes that we will have sufficient financing to consummate our previously announced acquisitions, execute our business plan and achieve our projected revenue objectives.

HOPE Therapeutics

Other Developments

In November 2022, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note to Streeterville, LLC (“Streeterville Notes”) as previously disclosed. In March 2024, Streeterville deemed a proposed dividend of HOPE shares to constitute a basis of default under the Streeterville Notes. Subsequent arbitration found that the proposed HOPE dividend was not a basis for default. In August 2024 the Company signed a settlement agreement with Streeterville to redeem the Streeterville Notes at a discount to the amounts claimed and completed payments of $5.55 million in satisfaction of all claims under the Streeterville Notes in October 2024.

On March 28, 2024, the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s Common Stock, which Reverse Stock Split was effective as of April 1, 2024. All references in this Annual Report to number of common shares, price per share and weighted average number of shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split on a retroactive basis.

Company Overview

The Company has two lead compounds today, NRX-100, a proprietary presentation of ketamine and NRX-101, a patented fixed-dose combination of D-cycloserine and lurasidone. Both products have Fast Track designation from the FDA for the treatment of suicidal bipolar depression. NRX-101 additionally has Breakthrough Therapy Designation and a Biomarker Letter of Support from the FDA for this purpose. To the Company’s knowledge, NRX-101 is the only oral antidepressant demonstrated to reduce suicidal ideation in a phase 2 trial.

For mechanistic reasons unrelated to its central nervous system N-methyl-D-aspartate (“CNS NMDA”) antagonist properties, NRX-101 interferes with cell wall formation in certain bacteria, rendering it a potent antibiotic and is demonstrated to kill certain treatment-resistant urinary tract bacteria. Accordingly, NRX-101 has been awarded Qualified Infectious Disease Product Designation and Fast Track Designation by the FDA to treat Complicated Urinary Tract Infection and Pyelonephritis. Our strategy is to apply innovative science to known molecules in the pursuit of therapies for high unmet needs, including lethal conditions (NeuroRx) and to distribute ketamine and ancillary therapies to qualified clinics and practitioners who treat patients with suicidal depression (HOPE). The Company has announced plans to spin off HOPE to a freestanding company, to be owned by the Company, current investors in the Company, and future investors.

NeuroRx was founded in 2015 by Professors Jonathan Javitt, MD, MPH and Daniel Javitt, PhD, MD, as a privately-funded R&D company targeting psychiatry drug development and attracted sufficient capital to enter phase 2b/3 research in 2016. The Company was forced to suspend CNS drug development in January 2020, due to the COVID pandemic. However, activities related to development of COVID drugs (as disclosed in prior filings) enabled the Company to continue operations and attract capital to return to CNS development.

The COVID lockdown ended in March 2022 and the Company’s Board unanimously voted to return NRx’s focus to CNS drug development and to recruit a new Chief Executive Officer with legal and business skills that would complement the scientific strength of the Company’s Founder, Chairman, and Chief Scientist. Subsequently, in June 2022, the NIH trial announced futility in its attempt to replicate the survival benefit reported for Aviptadil in patients on ventilators for COVID-19 and subsequently disclosed its failure to fully treat 30% of those randomized to Aviptadil. The trial could not be restarted because it was unrecruitable in the aftermath of the pandemic. In December 2022, the Company agreed to return all Aviptadil assets to Relief in exchange for a commitment by Relief to use commercially-reasonable efforts to develop Aviptadil and to pay NRx more than $30 million in royalties and milestones from its future success, if any.

In December 2023, the Company’s reorganized Board of Directors re-elected Dr. Javitt as its Chairman. At the same time, the Company announced its plan to form HOPE Therapeutics as a specialty pharmaceutical company to develop a clinical market for ketamine and other treatments for suicidal depression. In November 2024, the Board asked Dr. Javitt to return as interim CEO and appointed him CEO in December 2024.

2024 Financings

August 2024 SPA

On August 12, 2024, the Company executed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “August SPA”) and related agreements, under which the Company agreed to sell and issue, and certain purchasers agreed to purchase, an aggregate of $16.3 million of securities. The consideration payable by the purchasers under the August SPA will be comprised of three equal closings of $5.435 million, each subject to certain closing conditions. The securities to be issued and sold by the Company include up to $16.3 million of senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”). The proceeds arising from the sale of the Notes and the Warrants were used to settle the Company’s outstanding amounts owed to Streeterville (as defined below) and other working capital needs. The Company has, as of the date of this Annual Report, consummated the first tranche, second tranche, and third tranche under the August SPA, with gross proceeds to the Company of $16.3 million.

The Notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and mature in 15 months following their date of issuance. The Notes may be settled in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock, at the sole discretion of the holder, at the applicable conversion price. The Notes may not be prepaid by the Company however, the holders of the Notes may elect to convert the Notes, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock at any time after the original issuance date. The conversion price: (A) for the Notes issued in the first tranche will equal the lower of (i) $2.4168, or (ii) a price equal to 92% of the lowest volume-weighted average price during the seven-trading day period immediately preceding the applicable conversion date (the “Alternative Conversion Price”); (B) for the Notes issued in the second tranche will equal the lower of (i) $1.766, or (ii) the Alternative Conversion Price; and (C) for the Notes issued in the third tranche will equal the lower of (i) $3.78, or (ii) the Alternative Conversion Price. The Notes include certain redemption, protection features and default interest and penalties. The Notes are secured by all assets of the Company, including its intellectual property.

On January 27, 2025, the Company and the Investors entered into a Consent and Waiver Agreement (the “CWA”), relating to certain rights and prohibitions arising under the August SPA and the Notes. In the CWA, each of the Investors provided its consent under certain restrictive provisions, and waived certain rights, including, among other things, a right to participate in certain Qualified Financings (as defined in the CWA) made by us under the August SPA and the Notes, the prohibition on issuance of certain equity securities, and waiver of any potential liquidated damages arising under that certain Registration Rights Agreement by and between the Company and the Investors dated August 14, 2024, until March 31, 2025. As consideration for entering into the CWA, in the event that the VWAP of the common stock is less than the per share purchase price of the common stock sold to the Investors in the Registered Direct Offering on the Trading Day (as defined in the RD Purchase Agreement) immediately prior to the date that the Investors submit their first conversion notice to convert any portion of the Notes issued or to be issued in the Second Closing (as defined in the August SPA) or the Third Closing (as defined in the August SPA), respectively, into shares of common stock, the Company agreed to issue to the Investors: (i) that number of shares of common stock equal to (a) the quotient of (I) aggregate purchase price to be paid for all securities in the Registered Direct Offering, divided by (II) the price per share of common stock after giving effect to the VWAP-Based Adjustment (as defined below), minus (b) the number of shares of common stock issued, or to be issued, to the Investors at or upon the consummation of the Registered Direct Offering (the “Consideration Shares”), and (ii) common stock purchase warrants to purchase shares of common stock equal to 100% of the aggregate number of Consideration Shares to be issued, with an exercise price equal to the dollar value of the VWAP-Based Adjustment (the “Consideration Warrants”). For purposes of the CWA, the “VWAP Based-Adjustment” means that amount, in dollars, equal to the greater of either (a) the VWAP of the common stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date that the Investors submit their first conversion notice to convert any portion of the Notes issued and to be issued in the Second Closing or Third Closing into shares of the Company’s common stock, or (b) 80% of the closing price of the common stock on the Trading Day immediately prior to the closing of the Registered Direct Offering, subject to adjustment as more specifically set forth in the Warrants, and are exercisable immediately upon issuance.

January 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement

On or about January 27, 2025, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “RD Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) for the sale by the Company of 1,215,278 shares (the “RD Shares”) of common stock to the Investors, at a purchase price of $2.88 per share, in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”). Concurrently with the sale of the RD Shares, pursuant to the RD Purchase Agreement the Company also sold to the Investors unregistered common stock purchase warrants (the “RD Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,215,278 shares of common stock (the “RD Warrant Shares”), in a private placement. Subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, the RD Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price equal to $2.88 per share of common stock, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the RD Warrants. The RD Warrants are exercisable for five years from the RD Closing Date (as defined below). The closing of the sales of these securities under the RD Purchase Agreement occurred on or about January 29, 2025 (the “RD Closing Date”).

The gross proceeds to the Company from the offerings were approximately $3,500,000, before deducting offering expenses, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the RD Warrants. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the transactions for general corporate purposes, including the funding of certain capital expenditures.

The RD Shares were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was filed with the SEC on June 9, 2022, and subsequently declared effective on June 21, 2022 (File No. 333-265492) (the “Registration Statement”), and the base prospectus dated as of June 21, 2022, contained therein.

The RD Warrants and the RD Warrant Shares were sold and issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), in reliance on the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering and Rule 506 promulgated under the Securities Act as sales to accredited investors, and in reliance on similar exemptions under applicable state laws.

Proposed Strategic Investment and Commercial Funding

The Company is currently in negotiations with a publicly-traded entity engaged in the manufacture of FDA-cleared devices for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to provide acquisition capital to support the expansion of HOPE, and is currently in negotiations with several commercial banks to provide additional acquisition financing for HOPE. Although no assurances can be given, assuming consummation of the financings on terms currently contemplated by management, we will achieve our objective of financing less than 50% of the proposed acquisition costs, thereby enabling the Company to optimize its cost of acquisition capital as it expands the HOPE clinic network.

Terminated January 2025 Financing

The Company was a party to definitive stock purchase agreements with an Arizona-based investment firm, Smith and Sauer, through their affiliate, JGS Holdings, LLC (“JGS Holdings”) whereby JGS Holdings committed to invest $2.0 million in NRx’s common stock, with an additional commitment of $25.0 million to be invested directly in HOPE. JGS Holdings defaulted under the terms of the agreements, despite several extensions of the closing date. The Company formally terminated the stock purchase agreement on March 13, 2025. Although no assurances can be given, management is currently negotiating with an alternative strategic investor to replace the investment contemplated with JGS Holdings, and, together with alternative sources of equity and debt capital, management believes it will able to fund its previously announced acquisitions on terms more favorable to our shareholders.

Financial Results

Since inception, NRx has incurred significant operating losses. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, NRx Pharmaceuticals’ net loss was $25.1 million and $30.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, NRx Pharmaceuticals had an accumulated deficit of $278.3 million, a stockholders’ deficit of $23.5 million and a working capital deficit of $18.8 million.

Going Concern

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 2025 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 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 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 consolidated 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.

Nasdaq Listing Requirements

On July 20, 2023, we received a written notification (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that NRx Pharmaceuticals is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) – Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) because the Company had not maintained a minimum MVLS of $50,000,000 for the last thirty-three (33) consecutive business days.

Other (income) expense

Interest income

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded less than $0.1 million of interest income compared to approximately $0.5 million of interest income for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease of $0.5 million is due to a large decrease in the balance in the Company’s money market account at December 31, 2024 as compared to the prior year.

Interest expense

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $0.2 million of interest expense, compared to $0.1 million of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase of $0.1 million is due to premiums for cash payments on the convertible note.

Convertible note default penalty

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded $0.8 million of a default penalty, compared to $0 for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase is due to alleged default in connection with the Streeterville convertible note.

Change in fair value of convertible note payable

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $2.7 million related to the change in fair value of the convertible notes payable which are accounted for under the fair value option. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $2.7 million related to the change in fair value of the convertible note payable which is accounted for under the fair value option.

Change in fair value of warrant liabilities

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a loss of $1.7 million related to the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities compared to a gain of less than $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in loss during the year ended December 31, 2024 was attributed to the warrants issued in conjunction with the First and the Second Trenches of the Anson Notes.

Loss on convertible note redemptions

For year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a loss of $1.3 million related to convertible note redemptions calculated as the difference between the redemption price as calculated as per the terms of the Anson and Streeterville Notes (See Note 7) relative to the fair value of the common stock on the date of redemption.

The Company has generated no revenues, has incurred operating losses since inception, expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. Until such time as the Company is able to establish a revenue stream from the sale of its therapeutic products, it is dependent upon obtaining necessary equity and/or debt financing to continue operations. The Company cannot make any assurances that sales of NRX-101 will commence in the near term or that additional financings will be available to it on acceptable terms or at all. This could negatively impact our business and operations and could also lead to the reduction of our operations.

January 2025 Securities Purchase Agreement

On or about January 27, 2025, the Company entered into the RD Purchase Agreement with the Investors for the sale by the Company of the RD Shares to the Investors in an aggregate of 1,215,278 shares of common stock, at a purchase price of $2.88 per share, in the Registered Direct Offering. Concurrently with the sale of the RD Shares, pursuant to the RD Purchase Agreement the Company also sold to the Investors the unregistered RD Warrants to purchase the RD Warrant Shares, in a private placement. Subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations, the RD Warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance at an exercise price equal to $2.88 per share of common stock, subject to adjustments as provided under the terms of the RD Warrants. The RD Warrants are exercisable for five years from the RD Closing Date. The closing of the sales of these securities under the RD Purchase Agreement occurred on or about the RD Closing Date.

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates

The Company's management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based on its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires NRx Pharmaceuticals to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. In accordance with GAAP, NRx Pharmaceuticals evaluates its estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. The most significant estimates relate to the earnout cash liability, stock-based compensation, and the valuation of warrants. NRx Pharmaceuticals bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experiences, and various other factors that NRx Pharmaceuticals believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company defines its critical accounting policies as those accounting principles that require it to make subjective estimates and judgments about matters that are uncertain and are likely to have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations, as well as the specific manner in which the Company applies those principles. While its significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 to its financial statements, the Company believes the following are the critical accounting policies used in the preparation of its financial statements that require significant estimates and judgments.

Stock-based compensation

We measure stock option awards granted to employees and directors based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant and recognize compensation expense of those awards over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. For restricted stock awards, the grant date fair value is the fair market value per share as of the grant date based on the closing trading price for the Company’s stock. The straight-line method of expense recognition is applied to awards with service-only conditions. We account for forfeitures as they occur.

We estimate the fair value of each stock option award using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which uses as inputs the fair value of our common stock and assumptions we make for the volatility of our common stock, the expected term of our stock-based awards, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the expected term of our stock-based awards, and our expected dividend yield. Therefore, we estimate our expected volatility based on the implied volatility of publicly traded warrants on our common stock and historical volatility of a set of our publicly traded peer companies. We estimate the expected term of our options using the "simplified" method for awards that qualify as "plain-vanilla" options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that we have never paid cash dividends on common stock and do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock-based awards represent reasonable estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use significantly different assumptions or estimates, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.

Warrant liabilities

We account for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own common stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

Page 88

Table of Contents

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, or date of modification, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated using a Black Scholes valuation approach and the fair value of the Substitute Warrants was estimated using a modified Black Scholes valuation approach which applies a probability factor based on the earnout cash milestone and earnout shares milestone probabilities of achievement at each reporting period.

Convertible note payable

As permitted under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), the Company elects to account for its convertible promissory notes, which meets the required criteria, at fair value at inception and at each subsequent reporting date. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as a component of non-operating loss in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of electing the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the convertible promissory notes are expensed as incurred.

The Company estimates the fair value of the convertible notes payable using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses as inputs the fair value of our common stock and estimates for the equity volatility and volume volatility of our common stock, the time to expiration (i.e. expected termination date) of the convertible note, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the time to expiration, and probability of default. Therefore, we estimate our expected future equity and volume volatility based on the historical volatility of both our common stock utilizing a lookback period consistent with the time to expiration. The time to expiration is based on the contractual maturity date, giving consideration to the mandatory and potential accelerated redemptions beginning six months from the issuance date. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement for time periods approximately equal to the time to expiration. Probability of default is estimated using Bloomberg's Default Risk function which uses our financial information to calculate a default risk specific to the Company.

The assumptions used in determining the fair value of the convertible note payable represent reasonable estimates, but the estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use significantly different assumptions or estimates, the change in fair value of the convertible note payable recorded to other (income) expense could be materially different in the future.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of:

NRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of NRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has no revenues, has suffered operating losses since inception and has a working capital deficit at December 31, 2024. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s Plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.

F-1

The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Fair Value of the Convertible Note

As described in Note 3 “Convertible Notes Payable and Fair Value Election” and in Notes 7 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company uses a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate the fair value of its convertible notes.

We identified the valuation of fair value of the convertible note as of December 31, 2024 as a critical audit matter. Auditing management’s assumptions and estimates relating to the Monte Carlo simulation model is especially challenging, complex and subjective.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included (a) gained an understanding of management’s process to develop an estimate of the fair value of the convertible note, (b) tested the data and assumptions used as inputs to the Monte Carlo simulation model for reasonableness, (c) computed an independent expectation of the fair value of the convertible note and (d) compared management’s valuation to our independent expectation. We agreed with management’s estimate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023

1. Organization

The Business

NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) (“NRX” or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage bio-pharmaceutical company which develops and intends to distribute, through its wholly-owned operating subsidiaries, NeuroRx, Inc., (“NeuroRx”) and HOPE Therapeutics, Inc. (“HOPE”), and collectively with NRX and NeuroRx, the (“Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), novel therapeutics for the treatment of central nervous system disorders including suicidal depression, chronic pain, and post-traumatic stress disorder (“PTSD”) and now schizophrenia. All of our current drug development activities are focused drugs that modulate on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (“NMDA”) receptor in the brain and nervous system, a neurochemical pathway that has been disclosed in detail in our annual filings. NeuroRx is organized as a traditional research and development (“R&D”) company, whereas HOPE is organized as a specialty pharmaceutical company intended to distribute ketamine and other therapeutic options to clinics that serve patients with suicidal depression and PTSD. The Company has two lead drug candidates that are expected to be submitted by year end for Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval with anticipated FDA decision dates under the Prescription Drug User Fee Act ("PDUFA") by the end of June 2025: NRX-101, an oral fixed dose combination of D-cycloserine and lurasidone and NRX-100, a preservative-free formulation of ketamine for intravenous infusion.

Operations

The Company’s drug development activities have expanded from its original focus on development of NRX-101, a fixed dose combination of D-cycloserine (“DCS”) and lurasidone for the treatment of suicidal bipolar depression to encompass the development of NRX-101 for the treatment of chronic pain and PTSD and to the development of intravenous ketamine (NRX-100/HTX-100) for the treatment of suicidal depression. These additional indications have been added as the Company has gained access to clinical trials data funded by governmental entities in France and potentially in the United States which has the potential to afford the Company potential safety and efficacy data on key indications at low cost.

2. Going Concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Since inception, the Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flows from operations each fiscal year and has a working capital deficit at December 31, 2024. The Company has no revenues and expects to continue to incur operating losses into 2025. Although the Company projects operating revenue to be derived from the operation of clinical facilities through its HOPE subsidiary and sales of its pharmaceutical products in 2025, these projections are subject to completion of anticipated clinical acquisitions in the first case and regulatory approvals in the latter case. In the absence of these projected developments, 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.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $1.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. On August 12, 2024, the Company entered into that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 12, 2024 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes (the “Anson Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $16.3 million in three tranches of $5.435 million, and warrants to purchase that amount of shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”) equal to 50% of the principal amount of the Notes in the respective tranche divided by the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock, as listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, on the day prior to the closing of each respective tranche under the Purchase Agreement (the “Anson Warrants”). The Company consummated the sale of the first tranche of $5.435 million ($4.5 million in net proceeds) in Notes and Warrants (the “First Closing”) on August 14, 2024 (the “First Closing Date”), and the second tranche of $5.435 million in Notes and Warrants (the “Second Closing”) on October 10, 2024 (the “Second Closing Date”), for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $10.87 million, before deducting fees, costs, and other expenses including the use of proceeds to repay $5.55 million of the Streeterville Note.

The Company has secured operating capital that it anticipates as sufficient to fund its drug development operations through [●] and to finance submission of FDA New Drug Applications for NRX-100 and NRX-101. The Company may pursue additional equity or debt financing or refinancing opportunities in 2025 and 2026 to fund ongoing clinical activities, to meet obligations under its current debt arrangements and for general corporate purposes. 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. The Company will continue to carefully monitor the impact of its continuing operations on the Company’s working capital needs and debt repayment obligations. As such, the Company has concluded that substantial doubt exists regarding 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 consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NRX Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates in the Company’s consolidated financial statements relate to the fair value of convertible notes payable, fair value of warrant liabilities, fair value of stock options and warrants, and the utilization of deferred tax assets. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and actual results, the Company’s future results of operations will be affected.

Certain Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including the risk of failure to secure additional funding to properly execute the Company’s business plan. The Company is subject to risks that are common to companies in the pharmaceutical industry, including, but not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of new technological innovations, dependence on key personnel, reliance on third party manufacturers, protection of proprietary technology, and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements, provides guidance on the development and disclosure of fair value measurements. Under this accounting guidance, fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability.

The accounting guidance classifies fair value measurements in one of the following three categories for disclosure purposes:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and values determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. (Refer to Note 11)

Concentration of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are occasionally invested in certificates of deposit. The Company maintains each of its cash balances with high-quality and accredited financial institutions and accordingly, such funds are not exposed to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. Deposits in financial institutions may, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2024 the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance within money market accounts was in excess of the U.S. federally insured limits by $1.2 million. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash. The Company maintains a portion of its cash and cash equivalent balances in the form of a money market account with a financial institution that management believes to be creditworthy.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of initial purchase to be cash equivalents, including balances held in the Company’s money market accounts. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions, in which balances from time to time may exceed the U.S. federally insured limits. The objectives of the Company’s cash management policy are to safeguard and preserve funds to maintain liquidity sufficient to meet the Company’s cash flow requirements, and to attain a market rate of return.

Revenue Recognition

The Company accounts for revenue under FASB ASC Topic 606,Revenue for Contract with Customers (“ASC 606”) or other accounting standards for revenue not derived from customers. Arrangements may include licenses to intellectual property, research services and participation on joint research committees. The Company evaluates the promised goods or services to determine which promises, or group of promises, represent performance obligations. In contemplation of whether a promised good or service meets the criteria required of a performance obligation, the Company considers the stage of research, the underlying intellectual property, the capabilities and expertise of the customer relative to the underlying intellectual property, and whether the promised goods or services are integral to or dependent on other promises in the contract. When accounting for an arrangement that contains multiple performance obligations, the Company must develop judgmental assumptions, which may include market conditions, timelines and probabilities of regulatory success to determine the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract.

The Company enters into contractual arrangements that may include licenses to intellectual property and research and development services. When such contractual arrangements are determined to be accounted for in accordance with ASC 606, the Company evaluates the promised good or services to determine which promises, or group of promises, represent performance obligations. When accounting for an arrangement that contains multiple performance obligations, the Company must develop judgmental assumptions, which may include market conditions, timelines and probabilities of regulatory success to determine the stand-alone selling price for each performance obligation identified in the contract.

The License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Alvogen Pharma US, Inc., Alvogen, Inc. and Lotus Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. (collectively, “Alvogen”) (as further discussed in Note 6 below) was accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. In accordance with ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue when its customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, it performs the following five steps:

i. identify the contract(s) with a customer;

ii. identify the performance obligations in the contract;

iii. determine the transaction price;

iv. allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations within the contract; and

v. recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it determines that it is probable it will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

2023

At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within the contract to determine whether each promised good or service is a performance obligation. The promised goods or services in the Company’s arrangements typically consist of a license to intellectual property and research services. The Company may provide options to additional items in such arrangements, which are accounted for as separate contracts when the customer elects to exercise such options, unless the option provides a material right to the customer. Performance obligations are promises in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer that (i) the customer can benefit from on its own or together with other readily available resources, and (ii) is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Goods or services that are not individually distinct performance obligations are combined with other promised goods or services until such combined group of promises meet the requirements of a performance obligation.

The Company determines transaction price based on the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive for transferring the promised goods or services in the contract. Consideration may be fixed, variable, or a combination of both. At contract inception for arrangements that include variable consideration, the Company estimates the probability and extent of consideration it expects to receive under the contract utilizing either the most likely amount method or expected amount method, whichever best estimates the amount expected to be received. The Company then considers any constraints on the variable consideration and includes in the transaction price variable consideration to the extent it is deemed probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

The Company then allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling price and recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) control is transferred to the customer and the performance obligation is satisfied. For performance obligations which consist of licenses and other promises, the Company utilizes judgment to assess the nature of the combined performance obligation to determine whether the combined performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time and, if over time, the appropriate method of measuring progress. The Company evaluates the measure of progress each reporting period and, if necessary, adjusts the measure of performance and related revenue recognition.

The Company records amounts as accounts receivable when the right to consideration is deemed unconditional. When consideration is received, or such consideration is unconditionally due, from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, a contract liability is recorded as deferred revenue.

The Company’s revenue arrangements may include the following:

Milestone Payments: At the inception of an agreement that includes milestone payments, the Company evaluates each milestone to determine when and how much of the milestone to include in the transaction price. The Company first estimates the amount of the milestone payment that the Company could receive using either the expected value or the most likely amount approach. The Company primarily uses the most likely amount approach as that approach is generally most predictive for milestone payments with a binary outcome. Then, the Company considers whether any portion of that estimated amount is subject to the variable consideration constraint (that is, whether it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue would not occur upon resolution of the uncertainty.) The Company updates the estimate of variable consideration included in the transaction price at each reporting date which includes updating the assessment of the likely amount of consideration and the application of the constraint to reflect current facts and circumstances.

Royalties: For arrangements that include sales-based royalties, including milestone payments based on a level of sales, and the license is deemed to be the predominant item to which the royalties relate, the Company will recognize revenue at the later of (i) when the related sales occur, or (ii) when the performance obligation to which some or all of the royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied).

Research Services: The Company incurred research costs in association with the License Agreement. After the First Milestone Payment (as defined in Note 6 below), the Company would have been reimbursed for certain costs incurred related to reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs for clinical and non-clinical development activities. The Company would have recognized revenue for the reimbursed costs when the First Milestone Payment contingencies had been achieved and the Company had an enforceable claim to the reimbursed costs.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development expense consists primarily of costs associated with the Company’s clinical trials, salaries, payroll taxes, employee benefits, and stock-based compensation charges for those individuals involved in ongoing research and development efforts. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Advance payments for goods and services that will be used in future research and development activities are recorded as prepaid assets and expensed when the activity has been performed or when the goods have been received.

Non-cancellable Contracts

The Company may record certain obligations as liabilities related to non-cancellable contracts. If appropriate, the offsetting costs may be recorded as a deferred cost asset.

Convertible Notes Payable and Fair Value Election

As permitted under FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), the Company elected to account for its promissory notes, which meet the required criteria, at fair value at inception. Subsequent changes in fair value are recorded as a component of non-operating loss in the consolidated statements of operations. The portion of total changes in fair value of the notes attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk are determined through specific measurement of periodic changes in the discount rate assumption exclusive of base market changes and are presented as a component of comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of electing the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the promissory notes are expensed as incurred.

The Company estimates the fair value of its notes payable using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses as inputs the fair value of its Common Stock and estimates for the equity volatility of its Common Stock, the time to expiration (i.e., expected term) of the note, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximates the time to expiration, and probability of default. Therefore, the Company estimates its expected future equity volatility based on the historical volatility of its Common Stock price utilizing a lookback period consistent with the time to expiration. The time to expiration is based on the contractual maturity date, giving consideration to the redemption features embedded in the notes. The risk-free interest rate is determined based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement for time periods approximately equal to the time to expiration. Unless otherwise specified, the probability of default is estimated using Bloomberg’s Default Risk function which uses its financial information to calculate a default risk specific to the Company. At September 30, 2024, the Streeterville Note valuation was adjusted to the post settlement amount agreed upon. Interest expense is included within the change in fair value of the notes payable and accrued interest is included within the fair value of the convertible notes payable on the balance sheet. See Note 7 for Streeterville and Anson convertible notes. Management believes those assumptions are reasonable but if these assumptions change, it could materially affect the fair value.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company expenses stock-based compensation to employees and non-employees over the requisite service period based on the estimated grant-date fair value of the awards. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. Stock-based awards with graded-vesting schedules are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of stock option grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock award grants using the closing trading price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of issuance. All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in general and administrative or research and development costs in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based upon the underlying individual’s role at the Company.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480,Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and FASB ASC Topic 815,Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Common Stock and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND

2023

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be liability classified and recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and remeasured at fair value and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The Company generally determines fair value of the Common Stock Warrants (as defined below) using a Black Scholes valuation methodology.

A change in any of the terms or conditions of warrants is accounted for as a modification. The accounting for incremental fair value of warrants is based on the specific facts and circumstances related to the modification which may result in a reduction of additional paid-in capital, recognition of costs for services rendered, or recognized as a deemed dividend.

Preferred Stock

In accordance with ASC 480, the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock was classified as permanent equity as it was not mandatorily redeemable upon an event that is considered outside of the Company’s control. Further, in accordance with ASC 815-40,Derivatives and Hedging – Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, the Series A Preferred Stock did not meet any of the criteria that would preclude equity classification. The Company concluded that the Series A Preferred Stock was more akin to an equity-type instrument than a debt-type instrument, therefore the conversion features associated with the convertible preferred stock were deemed to be clearly and closely related to the host instrument and were not bifurcated as a derivative under ASC 815.

Segment Information

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. The Company operates as a single operating and reportable segment, consistent with the manner in which the CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources, see Note 12 for further information.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740,Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are provided, if based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances. The Company recognizes any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense.

Loss Per Share

The Company applies the two-class method when computing net income or loss per share attributable to common stockholders. In determining net income or loss attributable to common stockholders, the two-class method requires income or loss allocable to participating securities for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based on their respective rights to share in the earnings as if all of the income or loss allocable for the period had been distributed. In periods of net loss, there is no allocation required under the two-class method as the participating securities do not have an obligation to fund the losses of the Company.

Basic loss per share of Common Stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options, restricted stock awards and warrants were to vest and be exercised. Diluted earnings per share excludes, when applicable, the potential impact of stock options, Common Stock warrant shares, convertible notes, and other dilutive instruments because their effect would be anti-dilutive in the periods in which the Company incurs a net loss.

6. Alvogen Licensing Agreement

In June 2023, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Alvogen. Under the License Agreement, the Company granted Alvogen certain license rights to develop, manufacture, and commercialize the Company’s candidate therapeutic product, NRX-101, for the treatment of bipolar depression with suicidality. In exchange for the license granted and the participation of the Company in certain development, regulatory and commercial activities, Alvogen was obligated to pay the Company specified regulatory and commercial milestones, the first of which was $9 million upon the later of a positive data read-out from the Company’s ongoing Phase 2b/3 clinical trial and completion of the Type B meeting with the FDA (the “First Milestone Payment”). In February 2024, the parties executed an amendment accelerating payment of up to $5 million related to the First Milestone Payment, with the remaining $4 million due upon the original agreement’s terms (see below for advances received through December 31, 2024). As compensation for advancing the milestone, Alvogen received warrants to purchase up to 419,598 shares of the Company's Common Stock, at a strike price of $4.00 with a three year term (See Note 9). The grant date fair value of the warrants was approximately $1.3 million, which the Company planned to account for as consideration paid to a customer (see below). The second portion of the first milestone was to be $4 million and, as before, triggered by a positive response to the Company's planned end of phase 2 meeting with FDA. If the first milestone was not achieved by September 3, 2024, the Company would have been obligated to repay any amount received against the $5 million advance of the First Milestone Payment to Alvogen. As there was significant uncertainty relative to approval of any drug candidate in development, the Company concluded that it was not probable that a significant reversal of revenue would not occur if the Company were to include the First Milestone Payment, or any advances thereof, in the transaction price prior to receiving FDA approval. Accordingly, the transaction price was fully constrained and advances from Alvogen were recorded as a refund liability until such time as the refund right expired. Further, the Company accounted for the warrants issued to Alvogen within additional paid-in capital consistent with the accounting for unfunded stock subscription agreements until such time as the uncertainty around the First Milestone was resolved.

Termination

Under the License Agreement, as amended, Alvogen was granted early termination rights. On June 21, 2024, the Company received a notice of termination from Alvogen effective immediately. Following the termination of the License Agreement by Alvogen, the amounts advanced pursuant to the amendment became due and payable to Alvogen. Accordingly, the refund liability has not been reclassified to deferred revenue or recorded as revenue as of December 31, 2024 and will remain permanent as refund liability until settled.

Upon termination of the License Agreement, the intellectual property rights licensed to Alvogen under the License Agreement reverted to the Company, and all other rights and obligations of each of the parties immediately ceased, except for outstanding amounts owed as of the time of such expiration or termination. As of December 31, 2024, the refund liability due to Alvogen was $4.7 million, which represents all payments made by Alvogen through December 31, 2024, and is included as a component of accrued expense and other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet (refer to Note 5). Following the early termination by Alvogen, the Company does not anticipate recognizing any revenue under the License Agreement. Additionally, in June 2024 the Company wrote-off the unfunded stock subscription receivable of $1.3 million related to the warrants previously classified in additional paid-in capital to research and development expense following the termination.

7. Debt

Streeterville Convertible Note

On November 4, 2022, the Company issued an 9% redeemable promissory note (as amended, the “StreetervilleNote”) to Streeterville Capital, LLC, a Utah limited liability company (“Streeterville”), for an aggregate principal amount of $11.0 million. The Streeterville Note originally matured 18 months from the date of issuance subject to certain acceleration provisions. The Streeterville Note carried an original issue discount of $1.0 million which was deducted from the principal balance of the Streeterville Note. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Streeterville Note was $10.0 million after transaction costs including the original issue discount, legal and other fees are included.

The initial terms of the Streeterville Note included the following provisions, certain of which were subsequently modified, as described below. The Company had the option to prepay the Streeterville Note during the term by paying an amount equal to 110% of the principal, interest, and fees owed as of the prepayment date. The noteholder had the right to redeem up to $1.0 million of the outstanding balance of the Streeterville Note per month starting six months after the issuance date (the “Maximum Monthly Redemption Amount”). Payments could be made by the Company at their option in: (i) in cash with a 10% premium (the “Redemption Premium”) for the amount redeemed, (ii) by paying the redemption amount in the form of shares of Common Stock with the number of redemption shares being equal to the portion of the applicable redemption amount divided by the Redemption Conversion Price (as defined below), or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock. The “Redemption Conversion Price” on any given redemption date equaled 85% multiplied by the average of the two lowest daily volume weighted average prices per share of the Common Stock during the ten trading days immediately preceding the date that the noteholder delivered notice electing to redeem a portion of the Streeterville Note. Beginning May 1, 2023, in the event (a) the daily dollar trading volume of the Common Stock of the Company on any given trading day was at least fifty percent (50%) greater than the lower of (i) the median daily dollar trading volume over the previous ten (10) trading days or (ii) the daily dollar trading volume on the trading day immediately preceding the date of measurement or (b) if the closing trade price on any given trading day was at least thirty percent (30%) greater than the Nasdaq Minimum Price, then the lender would be entitled to redeem over the following ten (10) trading days an amount of indebtedness then outstanding under the Streeterville Note equal to twice the monthly redemption amount of $1.0 million solely by payment by stock, if permitted under the agreement, subject to the Maximum Percentage (as defined in the Streeterville Note) and other ownership limitations.

The Streeterville Note contained certain Trigger Events (as defined in the Streeterville Note) that generally, if uncured within five trading days, could result in an event of default in accordance with the terms of the Streeterville Note (such event, an “Event of Default”). Upon an Event of a Default, the Lender could consider the Streeterville Note immediately due and payable. Upon an Event of Default, the interest rate could also be increased to the lesser of 18% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law (see below).

Due to these embedded features within the Streeterville Note, the Company elected to account for the Streeterville Note at fair value at inception. Subsequent changes in fair value were recorded as a component of other income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.

StreetervilleConvertible Note Amendments

On March 30, 2023, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Note (the “First Amendment”), pursuant to which the Maximum Percentage was set at 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on a given date.

On July 7, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment #2 to the Streeterville Note with Streeterville (the “Second Amendment”). Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the Company agreed to amend the redemption provisions of the Streeterville Note to provide that the Company would pay to Streeterville an amount in cash equal to $1.8 million on or before July 10, 2023, which amount was paid on July 10, 2023. In addition, the Company agreed that, beginning on or before July 31, 2023, and on or before the last day of each month until December 31, 2023, the Company would pay Streeterville an amount equal to $0.4 million in cash, less any amount satisfied by the delivery of Redemption Conversion Shares (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Streeterville could also submit a request for redemption of up to an aggregate of $1.0 million per month in accordance with the terms of the Second Amendment. However, the portion of each payment that was not satisfied by the delivery of Redemption Conversion Shares was the maximum amount of cash the Company would have been required to pay in accordance with the Second Amendment during the period from July 31, 2023 and on or before the last day of each month until December 31, 2023. The redemption of the Maximum Monthly Redemption Amount in excess of the Minimum Amount would be satisfied by the delivery of additional Redemption Conversion Shares.

On February 9, 2024, the Company entered into Amendment #3 to the Streeterville Note (the “Third Amendment”), with Streeterville. In accordance with the Third Amendment, the Company and Streeterville agreed to amend the redemption provisions of the Streeterville Note to provide that the Company would pay to Streeterville an amount in cash equal to $1.1 million on February 12, 2024, which the amount was paid on February 12, 2024. In addition, beginning on or before February 29,2024, and on or before the last day of each month until July 31, 2024, the Company was obligated to pay Streeterville an amount equal to $0.4 million in cash, less any amount satisfied by the delivery of Redemption Conversion Shares. During the firstthree months of this amended payment period, Streeterville could not request to redeem amounts greater than $0.4 million per month.

After April 30,2024, and for the remainder of the payment period through July 31, 2024, Streeterville could redeem any Redemption Amount (as defined in the Streeterville Note), including an amount in excess of the Minimum Payment, subject to the Maximum Monthly Redemption Amount. During the period through July 31, 2024, the Company was permitted to pay the Redemption Amounts by delivery of the Redemption Conversion Shares (as defined below) without regard to the existence of any Equity Conditions Failure, to the extent Streeterville submits redemption notices during such month pursuant to the terms of the Streeterville Note, and only for the Redemption Amounts covered by such notices. Moreover, the Redemption Premium would continue to apply to the Redemption Amounts. To the extent there was an outstanding balance under the Streeterville Note after July 31, 2024, the Company would be required to pay such outstanding balance in full in cash by August 31, 2024. As a result of the alleged Event of Default mentioned below, the Company did not pay any Redemption Amounts during the three months ended September 30,2024, prior to the settlement, also as described below.

During the Minimum Payment Period (defined in the Streeterville Note, as amended), the Company was permitted to pay the Redemption Amounts in the form of shares of Common Stock of the Company (the “Redemption Conversion Shares”) calculated on the basis of the Redemption Conversion Price (as defined in the Streeterville Note) without regard to the existence of an Equity Conditions Failure. Moreover, the Redemption Premium (as defined in the Streeterville Note) would continue to apply to the Redemption Amounts.

Both the Second Amendment and the Third Amendment (considered cumulatively with the Second Amendment) were deemed to be debt modifications and did not give rise to a debt extinguishment in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 470,Debt, which was accounted for prospectively. The modification did not result in recognition of a gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations as the modifications were not considered debt extinguishments, but impacted interest expense recognized in subsequent periods, prior to the settlement of the Streeterville Note.

Convertible Note Fair Value Measurements

The Company estimated the fair value of the Streeterville Note using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which used as inputs the fair value of its Common Stock and estimated for the equity volatility and volume volatility of its Common Stock, the time to expiration of the Streeterville Note, the risk-free interest rate for a period that approximated the time to expiration, and probability of default. Therefore, the Company estimated its expected future volatility based on the actual volatility of its Common Stock and historical volatility of its Common Stock utilizing a lookback period consistent with the time to expiration. The time to expiration was based on the contractual maturity date, giving consideration to the mandatory and potential accelerated redemptions beginning six months from the issuance date. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of measurement for time periods approximately equal to the time to expiration. Probability of default was estimated using either Bloomberg's Default Risk function, which uses its financial information to calculate a default risk specific to the Company, or management's estimates which included, the Company's current cash runway, current efforts to raise financing, and current economic environment.

The discount to the principal amount was included in the carrying value of the Streeterville Note. During 2022, the Company recorded a debt discount of approximately $1.0 million upon issuance of the Streeterville Note for the original issue discount of $1.0 million. As a result of electing the fair value option, any direct costs and fees related to the Streeterville Note were expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a gain from the change in fair value of the Streeterville Note of $1.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, which was recognized in other (income) expense on the consolidated statements of operations as a result of the Company’s election of the fair value option.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company made cash principal repayments on the Note of approximately $7.4 million, made cash interest payments on the Note of approximately $0.5 million, including $0.2 million of redemption premiums, issued shares of Common Stock as principal repayment of $0.3 million, and issued shares of Common Stock as interest repayment of $0.1 million, and incurred a default penalty of $0.8 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company made cash principal repayments on the Note of approximately $2.3 million, made cash interest payments on the Note of approximately $0.9 million, including $0.1 million of redemption premiums, issued shares of Common Stock as principal repayment of $0.7 million, and issued shares of Common Stock as interest repayment of $0.2 million.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Note carried a remaining principle balance of $0 and $8.3 million, respectively. Refer to Note 11 for the reconciliation of the fair values for the periods presented.

Alleged Default

On April 24, 2024, the Company received written notice from counsel for Streeterville that an alleged event of default occurred with respect to the Streeterville Note issued by the Company in favor of Streeterville (the “Notice”). The Notice alleged that, among other things, (i) the announcement of the plan to partially spin-off of HOPE (the “Spin-Off”), constituted a “Fundamental Transaction” (as defined in the Streeterville Note) for which the Company failed to obtain Streeterville’s prior written consent before undertaking such transaction; and (ii) the Company failed to pay the Minimum Payment, as defined in the Streeterville Note, by April 8, 2024, following a Redemption Notice issued on April 3, 2024 by Streeterville to the Company, each of which resulted in the failure to cure a Trigger Event and subsequent Event of Default of the Streeterville Note, resulting in the acceleration of all of the outstanding amounts due thereunder.

Streeterville also filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) naming the Company as a defendant in the Third Judicial District Court of Salt Lake County, Utah. The Complaint was seeking, among other things: (i) declaratory relief for an order enjoining the Company from undertaking any Fundamental Transaction, including the Spin-Off, or otherwise issuing Common Stock or other equity securities (such as the shares of HOPE pursuant to the announced Spin-Off); and (ii) repayment of the Streeterville Note and other unspecified amounts of damages, costs and fees, but no less than $6.5 million, or the amounts currently outstanding under the Streeterville Note.

On July 29, 2024, in connection with the alleged Event of Default that Streeterville claimed occurred with respect to the Streeterville Note, the Company announced an order of the Utah arbitrator denying the petition of Streeterville to enjoin Spin-Off of 49% of shares in HOPE to current shareholders of the Company. The purpose of the proposed Spin-Off was to provide the Company’s shareholders with valuable consideration and to provide HOPE (currently a wholly-owned subsidiary) with a sufficient shareholder base to enable future listing on a national exchange. The arbitrator also denied Streeterville’s petition to enjoin the Company from selling additional shares of Common Stock to finance ongoing operations.

Streeterville Settlement

On August 12, 2024, the Company and Streeterville entered into a Settlement and Release of Claims (the “Settlement Agreement”), whereby the Company and Streeterville agreed to settle all disputes between the parties and release the Company from all obligations arising from the Notes at certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated November 4, 2022 (“Streeterville Notes”), between the Company and Streeterville, and that certain Convertible Promissory Note, dated November 4, 2022, issued to Streeterville by the Company, in exchange for a payment of $2.5 million upon the initial closing of the sale of the Anson Notes, and within 60 days thereafter, a second payment of $3.05 million. The Company made the $2.5 million payment upon the Anson Notes closing on August 15, 2024. The Company made the final $3.05 million payment in October 10, 2024 using proceeds from the Second Closing of Anson Convertible Promissory Note.

The Company evaluated the terms of the Settlement Amendment in accordance with ASC 470-50,Debt Modifications and Extinguishments. Both the Settlement Amendment and the Third Amendment (considered cumulatively with the Settlement Amendment) were deemed to be debt modifications and did not give rise to a debt extinguishment in accordance with ASC Topic 470, Debt, which will be accounted for prospectively. The modifications did not result in recognition of a gain or loss in the consolidated statements of operations as the modifications were not considered debt extinguishments, but will impact interest expense and the determination of fair value in future periods.

2024 Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Notes

On August 14, 2024, the Company entered into the first tranche Senior Secured Convertible Note Agreements (the “First Tranche Notes”) with Anson Investment Master Fund LP and Anson East Master Fund LP (collectively “Anson”) at various amounts for an aggregate of $5.435 million subject to an original issuance discount of 8% or $435,000, less other cash issuance costs of $521,000, resulting in net cash proceeds of $4.5 million, prior to any allocation to the Anson Warrants. The First Tranche Notes bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum (or 10% during the occurrence of any Event of Default (as defined in the First Tranche Notes)) and have a term of 15 months from the issuance date, maturing on November 14, 2025 (the “First Tranche Maturity Date”) (see Note 9).

On August 14, 2024, in conjunction with the issuance of the First Tranche Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase up to 1,349,305 shares of the Company’s Common Stock.

The First Tranche Notes are convertible at the option of the holder at any time after issuance into Common Stock, at a per share conversion price equal to the lower of (a) $2.4168, (the “Fixed Conversion Price”) or (b) a price equal to 92% of the lowest VWAP during the seven trading day period immediately preceding the effective conversion date (the “Alternate Conversion Price”, and together with the Fixed Conversion Price, the “Conversion Price”). If the Conversion Price is less than $0.38 (the “Floor Price”), then in addition to the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion the Company will pay cash as a true-up which is determined by the product of (i) the difference between (y) the Floor Price less (z) the Conversion Price then in effect, multiplied by (ii) the conversion amount that is being paid in Common Stock.

The terms of the First Tranche Notes do not allow any conversion of the First Tranche Notes if it results in Anson owning more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Beneficial Ownership Limitation"). This limitation can be adjusted up to 9.99% with prior notice, effective 61 days after such notice. Anson must ensure compliance with this limitation when submitting a notice of conversion, and the Company will rely on Anson's representation of compliance.

If the Company issues or grants options for Common Stock at a price lower than the current Conversion Price, the Conversion Price will be adjusted to match this lower price, (the “Base Conversion Price”). The Company must notify Anson of any such issuance, and Anson is entitled to convert shares based on the new Base Conversion Price.

If the Company offers purchase rights to holders of Common Stock, Anson will be entitled to acquire those rights as if they had fully converted the Note, subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. If exercising these rights would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, the rights will be held in abeyance until they can be exercised without exceeding the limit.

The First Tranche Notes contain mandatory redemption features, whereby if at any time the First Tranche Notes are outstanding, the Company will be required to: (A) use up to 30% of the gross proceeds from any Subsequent Financings (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in cash, to redeem all or a portion of the Note for an amount equal to the outstanding principal, plus all accrued but unpaid interest, plus all liquidated damages (the “Redemption Obligations”), multiplied by 1.05 (the “Mandatory Redemption Amount”); (B) redeem all of the Redemption Obligations at the Mandatory Redemption Amount in the event of a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the First Tranche Notes); (C) redeem the Redemption Obligations for the Mandatory Redemption Amount in the event a registration statement is not available for each of the offer and resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the First Tranche Notes (the “Conversion Shares”); and (D) redeem the Redemption Obligations for the Mandatory Redemption Amount if the Shareholder Approval is not obtained within 180 days following the date of issuance of the First Tranche Notes.

The First Tranche Notes contain certain covenants, and events of default and triggering events, respectively, which would require repayment of the obligations outstanding pursuant to such instruments. The obligations of the Company pursuant to the First Tranche Notes are (i) secured by all assets of the Company and all subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to the Security Agreement and Patent Security Agreement, dated August 14, 2024, by and among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company, and the Investors, and (ii) guaranteed jointly and severally by the subsidiaries of the Company pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantee, dated August 14, 2024, by and among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company, and the Investors.

The patent is supported by extensive nonclinical data and early clinical data that suggest the potential for NMDA antagonist drugs, such as NRX-101 to decrease both chronic pain and neuropathic pain while potentially decreasing craving for opioids. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has recorded no expenses relating to the licensure of the patent.

On July 29, 2024, in connection with the alleged Event of Default that Streeterville claimed occurred with respect to the Streeterville Note, the Company announced an order of the Utah arbitrator denying the petition of Streeterville to enjoin the planned Spin-Off of 49% of shares in HOPE to current shareholders of the Company. The purpose of the proposed Spin-Off was to provide the Company’s shareholders with valuable consideration and to provide HOPE (currently a wholly-owned subsidiary) with a sufficient shareholder base to enable future listing on a national exchange. The arbitrator also denied Streeterville’s petition to enjoin the Company from selling additional shares of Common Stock to finance ongoing operations.

On August 12, 2024, the Company signed a settlement agreement with Streeterville to retire its remaining debt for a settlement amount of $5.6 million and to settle outstanding litigation. This settlement amount was substantially less than the amounts claimed by Streeterville in its Compliant (see Note 7). As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of the Streeterville Note was adjusted to the settlement amount which was repaid in October 2024. Such adjustment is included within the change in fair value of convertible notes payable on the consolidated statement of operations, therefore no gain or loss on the settlement was recorded.

On July 17, 2023, NeuroRx and GEM entered into a settlement and release agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed to dismiss the arbitration proceeding with prejudice. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement on August 31, 2023, the Company issued 67,568 shares of Common Stock, the fair value of which was approximately $0.3 million based on the quoted trading price on the grant date, to GEM in full satisfaction of the Settlement Agreement which was approximately $0.3 million and was expensed as “Settlement expense” in fiscal 2023. The shares are registered under a prospectus supplement to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 and are subject to a restriction that they cannot be sold or traded for a period of six months from the effective date of the Settlement Agreement.

The Company is currently involved in and may from time to time become involved in various legal actions incidental to our business. As of the date of this report, the Company, other than as set forth above, is not involved in any legal proceedings that it believes could have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations. However, the outcome of any current or future legal proceeding is inherently difficult to predict and any dispute resolved unfavorably could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position, and operating results.

9. Equity

Common Stock Reverse Stock Split

On March 21, 2024, the Board approved a reverse stock split ratio of 1-for-10. On March 28, 2024, the Company filed an amendment to its certificate of incorporation in the State of Delaware (the “Amendment”), which provided that every ten shares of its issued and outstanding Common Stock would automatically be combined into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share.

Effective April 1, 2024, every 10 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock were converted automatically into one share of the Company’s Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. The Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding from approximately 95.7 million to approximately 9.6 million.

No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Shareholders who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share instead became entitled to receive one whole share of Common Stock in lieu of such fractional share. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, 73,040 additional shares of common stock were issued in lieu of fractional shares. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been retrospectively adjusted for the reverse split.
