Beneficial Ownership Disclosure (Schedule 13G)
Intracoastal Capital LLC, along with Mitchell P. Kopin and Daniel B. Asher, has disclosed a 9.99% beneficial ownership stake in Mustang Bio, Inc. following a recent Securities Purchase Agreement.
Summary
- Mitchell P. Kopin, Daniel B. Asher, and Intracoastal Capital LLC (collectively, the "Reporting Persons") have filed a Schedule 13G indicating beneficial ownership in Mustang Bio, Inc.
- As of February 11, 2025, the Reporting Persons collectively beneficially own 186,552 shares of Mustang Bio, Inc. common stock, representing 9.99% of the class.
- This ownership includes 109,500 shares of Common Stock held directly by Intracoastal and 77,052 shares issuable upon exercise of Intracoastal Warrant 1.
- The beneficial ownership stems from a Securities Purchase Agreement (SPA) executed with Mustang Bio, Inc. on February 5, 2025.
- The initial beneficial ownership immediately following the SPA on February 5, 2025, was 143,766 shares, comprising 142,000 common shares and 1,766 shares from Intracoastal Warrant 1.
- The calculation of the 9.99% ownership is based on 1,295,338 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 31, 2025, plus shares issued at the SPA closing and exercisable warrants.
- The Reporting Persons hold shared voting power over 186,552 shares and shared dispositive power over 181,052 shares.
- The filing indicates that the securities were not acquired for the purpose of changing or influencing the control of Mustang Bio, Inc.
Sentiment
Score: 5
Explanation: The document is a factual disclosure of beneficial ownership and a related transaction, providing neutral information without explicit positive or negative performance indicators.
Risks
- The Reporting Persons hold multiple warrants (Intracoastal Warrant 1, 2, and 3) that contain 'blocker provisions' limiting their exercise to prevent beneficial ownership from exceeding 9.99% (for Warrant 1) or 4.99% (for Warrants 2 and 3).
- Without these blocker provisions, the Reporting Persons could have been deemed to beneficially own a significantly larger number of shares: 1,993,356 shares as of February 5, 2025, and 1,960,856 shares as of February 11, 2025. This indicates a substantial potential for future dilution if these warrants were fully exercisable.
Future Outlook
NA
