The company raised $5.4 million in gross proceeds from a private placement in February 2023, which is expected to be used for general working capital and strategic alternatives exploration. Exicure is actively seeking additional funding and exploring strategic alternatives, including potential transactions in industries unrelated to its historical operations. However, there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern, with the possibility of seeking bankruptcy protection if additional capital cannot be secured. Exicure has also faced Nasdaq listing deficiencies, including stock price and corporate governance requirements, and is working towards compliance.
