On Tuesday, the company signed a securities purchase agreement with American Ventures as part of a private placement. The deal includes the sale of 31,333 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, each priced at $1,000. These shares can be converted into about 66.7 million common shares at an initial conversion price of $0.47 per share.
The deal also includes warrants to buy up to about 66.7 million shares of the company’s common stock. These warrants can be exercised immediately at $0.345 per share and will expire three years after issuance. The transaction is expected to close on Feb. 26, 2026.
The company plans to use the $31.3 million to buy back about $6 million of certain notes from institutional investors. It will also redeem its Series G Preferred Stock and repurchase some outstanding warrants covering up to 8.8 million common shares for $9 million. The remaining funds will be used for general business expenses and working capital, XWELL added.
XWEL shares surged beyond $1 for the first time since Oct. 28, 2025. This is significant because the company received a notice of a minimum bid price deficiency from Nasdaq on Dec. 1, 2025.
XWELL has until June 1, 2026, to fix the issue by maintaining its closing price at or above $1 for at least 10 consecutive business days.
Such notices are typically sent to companies whose shares have remained below the $1 minimum price for 30 consecutive business days. If the company does not regain compliance by June 1, it could receive additional time, potentially by carrying out a reverse stock split, or risk being delisted.
On December 18, the company’s shareholders approved a proposal allowing the company’s board to implement a reverse stock split within one year, in a ratio ranging from 1-for-2 to 1-for-20.
Retail sentiment on Stocktwits flipped to ‘extremely bullish’ from ‘bearish’ a day earlier, amid ‘extremely high’ message volumes.
