Added
As such, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq listing rules regarding minimal stockholder’s equity for continued listing. Accordingly, this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. The Company’s hearing date with the Hearings Panel was held on May 14, 2024.
Removed
The Company may appeal the Staff Determination, however, to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by filing a hearing request with Nasdaq on or before March 15, 2024. Hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. A hearing request will stay the delisting of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision.

Added
As such, Listing Rule 5635(d), which requires prior shareholder approval for transactions other than public offerings involving the issuance of 20% or more of the pre-transaction shares outstanding at less than the Minimum Price was not met. Accordingly, this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq.
Removed
Also, on the same date, we entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Tumim, pursuant to which we agreed to file with the U.S.
Added

Added
Additionally, the letter stated that upon further review of the terms and conditions of the “best efforts” offering closed by the Company on July 12, 2024, the Staff determined that the offering was not a “public offering” for the purposes of Nasdaq’s shareholder approval rules and accordingly, the Company was required, but failed, to obtain shareholder approval under the Listing Rule 5635(d) prior to issuing the securities in the offering.
Removed
Our sales of Class A Common Stock to Tumim, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, and may occur from time-to-time in Inspire Veterinary’s sole discretion, over the period commencing once certain customary conditions are satisfied, including securing effectiveness of a resale registration statement with the Commission, and ending on the first day of the month following the 24-month anniversary of the date on which the resale registration statement is declared effective by the Commission.

The pre-funded warrants are issuable to purchasers in lieu of shares of Class A common stock that would otherwise result in such purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock, if any such purchaser so chooses.
Removed
Consistent with applicable Nasdaq rules, Inspire may not issue to Tumim more than 1,214,293 shares of its Class A Common Stock (the “Exchange Cap”), which number of shares is equal to 19.99% of the shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement, unless Inspire obtains stockholder approval to issue shares of its Class A Common Stock in excess of such limit in accordance with applicable rules of Nasdaq or any other applicable national stock exchange.
Added
Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable at any time to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. Gross proceeds from the offering, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses, were approximately $4.0 million. Spartan Capital Securities, LLC (“Spartan”) acted as sole placement agent in connection with this offering.

However, the Exchange Cap will not apply to the extent that and for so long as the average price of all shares of Class A Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is equal to or greater than $0.4954, which was the official closing price of the Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq on the date of signing the Purchase Agreement.
Added
July Offering On July 12, 2025 we entered into Securities Purchase Agreements under which the Company agreed to sell to the investors named therein, in a best efforts public offering of an aggregate of 6,000,000 units at an offering price of $1.00 per unit.

Moreover, Inspire may not issue or sell any shares of Class A Common Stock to Tumim which, when aggregated with all other shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock then beneficially owned by Tumim and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder), would result in Tumim beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”), unless such limit is increased or waived by Tumim. 4 Commitment Shares Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as consideration for Tumim’s irrevocable commitment to purchase shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, we became obligated to issue to Tumim a number of shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Commitment Shares”) equal to $600,000 divided by the average daily volume-weighted average price for the Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq during the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the trading date immediately prior to Inspire Veterinary’s filing of a resale registration statement covering Tumim’s resales pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement described below.
Added
Each unit consists of either one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share, or one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s Class A common stock.
Removed
The Commitment Shares are due on the trading day immediately following the date the resale registration statement is declared effective by the Commission.
Added
The units have no stand-alone rights and will not be certificated or issued as stand-alone securities and the components of the units will be immediately separable and will be issued separately in the offering. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 and are exercisable for a period of six months commencing upon issuance.
Removed
If the number of Commitment Shares due to Tumim would exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then we will become obligated to issue to Tumim a pre-funded warrant (the “Tumim pre-funded warrant”) to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Warrant Shares”), with an exercise price equal to $0.0001 per share, in an amount equal to the difference between $600,000 and the value of the Commitment Shares issued below the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, calculated using the same pricing mechanism as the pricing mechanism used to determine the Commitment Shares paid as Class A Common Stock.
