Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Note Exchange and Warrant Purchase Agreement

As previously disclosed, on March 31, 2025 Jaguar Health, Inc. (the “Company”) issued and sold to selected accredited investors (the “Original Investors”) (i) approximately $3.4 million aggregate principal amount of 6% convertible promissory notes (collectively, the “Original Notes”), and (ii) warrants (the “March Warrants”) to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) in a private placement, pursuant to the securities purchase agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”), dated March 26, 2025, between the Company and the Original Investors.

On June 24, 2025, the Company entered into note exchange and warrant purchase agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain of the Original Investors (the “Participating Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to (a) issue and sell (i) approximately $2.57 million aggregate principal amount of new 6% convertible promissory notes (the “Replacement Notes”), in exchange for the cancellation of the Original Notes held by the Participating Investors, and (ii) warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “New Warrants”) to such Participating Investors, in a private placement closed on June 24, 2025 (the “Exchange Transaction”); and (b) file a registration statement for the resale of the Conversion Shares and the New Warrant Shares (both terms as defined hereunder) within 30 calendar days of the date of the Exchange Agreements and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective no later than three business days after the date that the Company is notified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that such registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review.

Replacement Notes

The Replacement Notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and will mature on January 30, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”).

The Replacement Notes will be convertible, at each holder’s option, in part or in full, into an aggregate of up to 481,150 shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s Common Stock (assuming no payment of the principal amounts or any accrued interest), at a conversion price of $5.535 per share for Participating Investors who are not an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company (collectively, an “Insider”), and $5.555 per share for Participating Investors who are Insiders, subject to adjustment for customary stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transactions; provided, however, that (a) no Conversion Shares may be issued to a noteholder who is an Insider unless the stockholder approval is obtained by the Company in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(c) and 5635(d), and (b) the total cumulative number of Conversion Shares that may be issued to a noteholder who is not an Insider, together with any shares of Common Stock issued to (i) such noteholder upon exercise of the New Warrants issued to such noteholder and (ii) the other Participating Investors in the same series of transactions as the Replacement Notes, may not exceed the requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market (including the rules related to the aggregation of offerings under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), if applicable) (the “Issuance Cap”), unless the stockholder approval is obtained by the Company to issue more than the Issuance Cap.

Under the Replacement Notes, the Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants, including a covenant restricting the Company’s right to pay dividends or otherwise make any payment or distribution in respect of the Company’s capital stock, subject to certain limited exceptions, without the prior written consent of the holders of the Replacement Notes. In addition, the Company is required to use the net proceeds in excess of $8,000,000 from (a) any equity or debt financing received by the Company or (b) any licensing or business development transaction received by the Company or Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for repayment of the Replacement Notes.

The terms of the Replacement Notes are otherwise substantially the same as the terms of the Original Notes.


New Warrants

As an inducement to enter into the Exchange Agreements, the Participating Investors received New Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 928,582 shares of Common Stock (the “New Warrant Shares”) with an initial exercise price equal to $2.70, subject to adjustment for reclassification of the Common Stock, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction (the “Exercise Price”). The New Warrants will be exercisable immediately upon the Initial Exercise Date (as define therein) and will expire on the earlier of (i) 18 months from the date of issuance, (ii) the consummation of a fundamental transaction and (iii) the consummation of a liquidation event; provided, however, that no New Warrant Shares may be issued to a holder unless the stockholder approval is obtained by the Company in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(c) and/or 5635(d), as applicable.

Certain Insiders, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and certain members of the Company’s board of directors and officers, participated in the Exchange Transaction. These Insiders acquired $492,012 aggregate principal amount of the Replacement Notes, which will be convertible into up to 91,784 Conversion Shares, and received New Warrants to purchase up to 177,138 New Warrant Shares.

The Company makes certain customary representations and warranties and has agreed to customary covenants and obligations. The Exchange Agreements and the Replacement Notes contain customary events of default upon the occurrence and during the continuance of which the Replacement Notes shall, at the option of the holders by written notice to the Company, become immediately due and payable and the Company shall pay to the holders an amount equal to the then outstanding balance of the Replacement Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, plus Default Interest (as defined in the Replacement Notes), if any.

Principal Amount: $[.]    Issue Date: June [ ], 2025

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, JAGUAR HEALTH, INC., a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [.], [a [.] company] /[an individual resident of the State of [.]], or its registered assigns (the “Holder”) the principal sum of $[.] (the “Principal Amount”), together with interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum, payable in cash at maturity or upon acceleration or otherwise, as set forth herein (this “Note”). This Note is being issued by the Borrower to the Holder pursuant to that certain Note Exchange and Warrant Purchase Agreement entered into on June [ ], 2025 by and between the Company and Holder (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Exchange Agreement”). The maturity date of this Note shall be January 30, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), and is the date upon which the principal sum, as well as any accrued and unpaid interest and other fees, shall be due and payable. This Note may not be repaid in whole or in part except as otherwise set forth in Section 4.9 herein. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note, which is not paid by the Maturity Date, shall bear interest at the rate of the lesser of (i) eighteen percent (18%) per annum or (ii) the maximum amount allowed by law, from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). Interest shall commence accruing on the Issue Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. All payments due hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of New York, New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed.

Capitalized terms used in this Note shall have the meanings set forth in the Exchange Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

The Borrower represents that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

1.2 Distributions on Capital Stock. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder’s written consent (a) pay, declare or set apart for such payment, any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, property or other securities) on shares of capital stock other than dividends on shares of Common Stock, solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock or (b) directly or indirectly make any other payment or distribution in respect of its capital stock except for distributions pursuant to the Borrower’s stockholders’ rights plan in effect as of the Issue Date or any other shareholders’ rights plan that is approved by a majority of the Borrower’s disinterested directors.

1.3 Restriction on Stock Repurchases. So long as the Borrower shall have any obligation under this Note, the Borrower shall not without the Holder’s written consent redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire (whether for cash or in exchange for property or other securities or otherwise) in any one transaction or series of related transactions any shares of capital stock of the Borrower or any warrants, rights or options to purchase or acquire any such shares.

ARTICLE II. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

For purposes of this Note, “Trading Day” means any day on which Nasdaq is open for trading.

2.3 Breach of Covenants. The Borrower breaches any material covenant or other material term or condition contained in any of the Transaction Documents, such breach would reasonably be expected to have (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note, and such breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to the Borrower from the Holder.

 

2


2.4 Breach of Representations and Warranties. Any representation or warranty of the Borrower made in any of the Transaction Documents, shall be false or misleading in any material respect when made and the breach of which has (or with the passage of time will have) a material adverse effect on the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note.

2.5 Receiver or Trustee. The Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business, or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise be appointed.

2.6 Judgments.

2.10 Liquidation. The Borrower commences any dissolution, liquidation, or winding up of Borrower or any substantial portion of its business.

2.11 Cessation of Operations. The Borrower ceases operations or Borrower admits it is otherwise generally unable to pay its debts as such debts become due, provided, however, that any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability to continue as a “going concern” shall not be an admission that the Borrower cannot pay its debts as they become due.

2.12 Financial Statement Restatement. The Borrower replaces its auditor, or any restatement of any financial statements filed by the Borrower with the SEC for any date or period from two years prior to the Issue Date of this Note and until this Note is no longer outstanding, if the result of such restatement would, by comparison to the unrestated financial statements, have constituted a material adverse effect on the Borrower or the rights of the Holder with respect to this Note.

2.13 Cross-Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the other related or companion documents, a breach or default by the Borrower of any covenant or other term or condition contained in any of the other indebtedness having an outstanding principal amount in excess of $1,000,000 currently issued, or hereafter issued, by the Borrower, to the Holder or any third party (the “Other Agreements”), shall, at the option of the Holder, be considered a default under this Note, in which event the Holder shall be entitled to apply all rights and remedies of the Holder under the terms of this Note by reason of a default under said Other Agreement or hereunder.

2.14 Inside Information. Any attempt by the Borrower or its officers, directors, and/or affiliates to transmit, convey, disclose, or any actual transmittal, conveyance, or disclosure by the Borrower or its officers, directors, and/or affiliates of, material non-public information concerning the Borrower (excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any such information shared prior to the Issue Date), to the Holder or its successors and assigns, which is not promptly cured by Borrower’s filing of a Form 8-K pursuant to Regulation FD on that same date.

2.15 Failure to Repay Upon A Subsequent Financing. The Borrower fails to apply the net proceeds from a Subsequent Financing to the repayment of this Note as provided in Section 4.9, until this Note is repaid in its entirety.

ARTICLE III. HOLDER OPTIONAL CONVERSION

3.1 Holder Conversions. Holder has the right at any time after the Issue Date of this Note until the Outstanding Balance has been paid in full, at its election, to convert (each instance of conversion is referred to herein as a “Holder Conversion”) all or any part of the Outstanding Balance into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (“Conversion Shares”) as per the following conversion formula: the number of Conversion Shares equals the amount being converted (the “Conversion Amount”) divided by the Conversion Price; provided, however, that in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of this Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Borrower subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its affiliates of more than [4.99%][9.99%] of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Maximum Share Amount”). The Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Borrower, may increase the Maximum Share Amount, provided that the Maximum Share Amount shall never exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of this Note held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 3.1 shall continue to apply. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Borrower. The Maximum Share Amount provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3.1 to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Share Amount provisions contained herein or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this Section 3.1 shall apply to a successor holder of this Note. For purposes of this Section 3.1, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such proviso. Conversion notices in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (each, a “Holder Conversion Notice”) may be effectively delivered to Borrower by any method of Holder’s choice (including but not limited to facsimile, email, mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery, all in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 4.2 hereof), and all Holder Conversions shall be cashless and not require further payment from Holder. Borrower shall deliver the Conversion Shares from any Holder Conversion to Holder in accordance with Section 3.3 below. No ink-original Holder Conversion Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Holder Conversion Notice form be required.

[Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, and in addition to the beneficial ownership limitations described above, the Borrower and the Holder agree that the total cumulative number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued to Holder under this Note, together with any shares of Common Stock issued to (i) the Holder upon exercise of the New Warrants issued to the Holder by the Company pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and (ii) the other Participating Buyers in the same series of transactions as this Note, may not exceed the requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market (including the rules related to the aggregation of offerings under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), if applicable) (the “Issuance Cap”), unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than the Issuance Cap or (ii) the Common Stock is not listed for quotation on Nasdaq or NYSE American. The Issuance Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other similar transaction. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.]1

[Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, and in addition to the beneficial ownership limitations described above, the Borrower and the Holder agree that no shares of Common Stock may be issued to Holder under this Note unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(c) and 5635(d) or (ii) the Common Stock is not listed for quotation on Nasdaq or NYSE American.]2

For purposes of this Note, the “Outstanding Balance” means as of any date of determination, the Principal Amount, as reduced or increased, as the case may be, pursuant to the terms hereof for payment, Conversion, offset, or otherwise, accrued but unpaid interest, collection and enforcements costs (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Holder, transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes and fees related to Conversions, and any other fees or charges (including without limitation Conversion Delay Late Fees (as defined hereunder)) incurred under this Note.

3.2 Conversion Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $[   ], subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion Price”).

3.3 Method of Conversion Share Delivery. Not later than the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the date of delivery of a Holder Conversion Notice (the “Delivery Date”), Borrower shall, deliver or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver, to the Holder (A) the applicable Conversion Shares which, (x) in the event that such Conversion Shares are not Additional Conversion Shares, then upon delivery, or (y) in the event that such Conversion Share are Additional Conversion Shares, then on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Issue Date or (ii) the Additional Effective Date, shall be free of restrictive legends and trading restrictions (other than those which may then be required by the Exchange Agreement) representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of this Note and (B) a bank check in the amount of accrued and unpaid interest. The Borrower shall, (x) with respect to any Conversion Shares other than Additional Conversion Shares, at any time on or after the Issue Date, or (y) with respect to any Additional Conversion Shares, on or after the earlier of (i) the six month anniversary of the Issue Date or (ii) the Additional Effective Date, deliver any Conversion Shares required to be delivered by the Borrower under this Section 4(c) electronically through the Depository Trust Company or another

established clearing corporation performing similar functions. Moreover, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, in the event Borrower or the Transfer Agent refuses to deliver any Conversion Shares to Holder on grounds that such issuance is in violation of Rule 144, Borrower shall deliver or cause the Transfer Agent to deliver the applicable Conversion Shares to Holder with a restricted securities legend, but otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.3. In conjunction therewith, Borrower will also deliver to Holder a written opinion from its counsel or its Transfer Agent’s counsel opining as to why the issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares violates Rule 144. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Borrower’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Holder Conversion Notice.

3.4 Conversion Delays. If Borrower fails to deliver Conversion Shares in accordance with the timeframes stated in Section 3.3 (other than any such failure that is solely due to any action or inaction by the Holder with respect to such conversion), Holder may rescind in whole or in part that particular Conversion attributable to the unsold Conversion Shares, with a corresponding increase to the Outstanding Balance (any returned amount will tack back to the Issue Date of this Note for purposes of determining the holding period under Rule 144). In addition, for each Conversion, in the event that Conversion Shares are not delivered by the Delivery Date, a late fee in cash equal to the greater of (a) $500.00 and (b) 2% of the applicable Conversion Share Value rounded to the nearest multiple of $100.00 (but in any event the cumulative amount of such late fees for each Conversion shall not exceed 200% of the applicable Conversion Share Value) will be assessed for each day after the Delivery Date until Conversion Share delivery is made (such fees, the “Conversion Delay Late Fees”). For illustration purposes only, if Holder delivers a Conversion Notice to Borrower pursuant to which Borrower is required to deliver 100,000 Conversion Shares to Holder and on the Delivery Date such Conversion Shares have a Conversion Share Value of $20,000.00 (assuming a Closing Sale Price on the Delivery Date of $0.20 per share of Common Stock), then in such event a Conversion Delay Late Fee in the amount of $500.00 per day (the greater of $500.00 per day and $20,000.00 multiplied by 2%, which is $400.00) would be added to the Outstanding Balance of the Note until such Conversion Shares are delivered to Holder. For purposes of this example, if the Conversion Shares are delivered to Holder twenty (20) days after the applicable Delivery Date, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to the Outstanding Balance would be $10,000.00 (20 days multiplied by $500.00 per day). If the Conversion Shares are delivered to Holder one hundred (100) days after the applicable Delivery Date, the total Conversion Delay Late Fees that would be added to the Outstanding Balance would be $40,000.00 (100 days multiplied by $500.00 per day, but capped at 200% of the Conversion Share Value). Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 2 hereof for the Borrower’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Borrower fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder such Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date pursuant to Section 3.3, and if after such Delivery Date the Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Borrower shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by the Holder) the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions) and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) this Note in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of the attempted conversion (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Borrower had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 3.3.

For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of this Note with respect to which the actual sale price of the Conversion Shares (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Borrower shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Borrower written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Borrower, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Borrower’s failure to timely deliver Conversion Shares upon conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

For purposes of this Note:

“Conversion Share Value” means the product of the number of Conversion Shares deliverable pursuant to any Conversion multiplied by the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Delivery Date for such Conversion.

“Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last trade price for such security on the principal trading market of the security, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or, if the principal trading market of the security begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the last trade price then the last trade price of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., New York City Time, as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last trade price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets, or, if no closing bid price is reported for such security by Bloomberg Financial Markets, the average of the bid prices and asked prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by OTC Markets Group Inc. If the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Sale Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as determined by the Borrower’s Board of Directors in good faith. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.

ARTICLE IV. MISCELLANEOUS

4.1 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver.

4.6 Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of law (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction). Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretation, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by any of the Transaction Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan (the “New York Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such New York Courts, or such New York Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Note and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

4.7 Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

4.8 Usury.

The Borrower covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law which would prohibit or forgive the Borrower from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on this Note as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Note, and the Borrower (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefits or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Holder, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such as though no such law has been enacted.

4.9 Repayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, so long as Borrower has not received a Holder Conversion Notice from Holder where the applicable Conversion Shares have not yet been delivered, the Borrower may repay any amount outstanding under this Note at par (including principal and accrued and unpaid interest) (each, an “Optional Repayment”).

 

9


In order to repay this Note, the Borrower shall provide notice to the Holder three (3) business days prior to such respective repayment date (an “Optional Repayment Notice” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “Optional Repayment Notice Date” and such date of repayment, the “Optional Repayment Date”), and the Holder must receive such repayment within five (5) business days of the Holder’s delivery to the Borrower of its written consent to such Optional Repayment in the form and manner as specified in the Optional Repayment Notice (the “Consent to Repayment”), but not sooner than two (2) business days from the delivery date of the Consent of Repayment (the “Optional Repayment Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note, the net proceeds in excess of $8,000,000 of (a) any equity or debt financing received by the Borrower or (b) any licensing or business development transaction received by the Borrower or Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. after the Issue Date (collectively, the “Subsequent Financings”) will be used for repayment of the Note (including principal and accrued and unpaid interest). The Borrower may only effect an Optional Repayment if each of the Equity Conditions shall have been met (unless waived in writing by the Holder) on each Trading Day during the period commencing on the Optional Repayment Notice Date through to the Optional Repayment Date and through and including the date payment of the Optional Repayment is actually made in full. If any of the Equity Conditions shall cease to be satisfied at any time during the Optional Repayment Period, then the Holder may elect to nullify the Optional Repayment Notice by notice to the Borrower within 3 Trading Days after the first day on which any such Equity Condition has not been met (provided that if, by a provision of the Transaction Documents, the Borrower is obligated to notify the Holder of the non-existence of an Equity Condition, such notice period shall be extended to the third Trading Day after proper notice from the Borrower) in which case the Optional Repayment Notice shall be null and void, ab initio. The Borrower covenants and agrees that it will honor all Holder Conversion Notices tendered from the time of delivery of the Optional Repayment Notice through the date all amounts owing thereon are due and paid in full. The Borrower’s determination to pay an Optional Repayment in cash shall be applied ratably to all of the holders of the then outstanding Notes based on their (or their predecessor’s) initial purchases of Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement. As used herein, “Equity Conditions” means, during the period in question, (a) the Borrower shall have duly honored all conversions and redemptions scheduled to occur or occurring by virtue of one or more Holder Conversion Notices, if any, (b) the Borrower shall have paid all liquidated damages and other amounts owing to the Holder in respect of this Note, (c)(i) there is an effective Registration Statement pursuant to which the Holder is permitted to utilize the prospectus thereunder to resell all of the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents (and the Borrower believes, in good faith, that such effectiveness will continue uninterrupted for the foreseeable future) or (ii) all of the Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements as determined by the counsel to the Borrower as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Transfer Agent and the Holder, (d) the Common Stock is trading on a Trading Market and all of the shares issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents are listed or quoted for trading on such Trading Market (and the Borrower believes, in good faith, that trading of the Common Stock on a Trading Market will continue uninterrupted for the foreseeable future), (e) there is a sufficient number of authorized but unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock for the issuance of all of the shares then issuable pursuant to the Transaction Documents, (f) there is no existing Event of Default and no existing event which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, would constitute an Event of Default, (g) the issuance of the shares in question to the Holder would not violate the limitations set forth in Section 3.1 herein, (h) there has been no public announcement of a pending or proposed Fundamental Transaction that has not been consummated, and (i) the applicable Holder is not in possession of any information provided by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents or Affiliates, that constitutes, or may constitute, material non-public information.

4.10 Fundamental Transaction.

 

10


If, at any time while this Note is outstanding, (i) the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Borrower with or into another Person other than any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Borrower, whereby the stockholders of the Borrower immediately prior to such merger or consolidation do not own, directly or indirectly, at least 50% of the voting power of the surviving entity immediately after such merger or consolidation, (ii) the Borrower or any Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Borrower or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of greater than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock or greater than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Borrower, (iv) the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires greater than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or greater than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Borrower (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 3.1 on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Borrower, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 3.1 on the conversion of this Note). For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Borrower shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction. The Borrower shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Borrower is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.10 pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Note a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note which is convertible for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with a conversion price which applies the conversion price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such conversion price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Note immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Borrower” under this Note (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Borrower” shall refer instead to each of the Borrower and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Borrower, may exercise every right and power of the Borrower prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Borrower prior thereto under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Borrower and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Borrower herein.

 

11


For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 4.10 regardless of (i) whether the Borrower has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Conversion Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Issue Date.

4.11 No Indebtedness. As long as any portion of this Note remains outstanding, unless the holders of at least 50.1% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes shall have otherwise given prior written consent, the Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of the Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly enter into, create, incur, assume, guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including, but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, other than (i) the cost of obtaining and maintaining the insurance policies and (ii) trade payables and accrued expenses, which are incurred in the Borrower’s ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

JAGUAR HEALTH, INC.

Warrant Shares:       

Date of Issuance: [.], 2025 (“Issuance Date”)

This COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, the Holder (as defined below)), [.] (including any permitted and registered assigns, the “Holder”), is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time on or after the date of issuance hereof, to purchase from Jaguar Health, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), up to [.] shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”) (whereby such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant) at the Exercise Price (as defined below) per share then in effect. This Warrant is issued by the Company as of the Issuance Date in connection with that certain Note Exchange and Warrant Purchase Agreement, dated as of [ ], 2025, by and between the Company and the Holder (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Exchange Agreement”).

Capitalized terms used in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Exchange Agreement unless otherwise defined in the body of this Warrant or in Section 15 below. For purposes of this Warrant, the term “Exercise Price” with respect to the Warrant Shares issued hereunder shall, subject to adjustment under Section 2 below, be $2.70, and the term “Exercise Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and ending on the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 6 below).

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a) Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder, in whole or in part, by delivery to The Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A duly executed (the “Exercise Notice”)), and by the payment to the Company, by certified cashier’s or other check acceptable to the Company or wire transfer, of an amount equal to the aggregate Exercise Price of the Warrant Shares being purchased.

 

1


Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation as soon as reasonably practicable of the date on which the final Exercise Notice is delivered to the Company. No ink-original Exercise Notice shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Exercise Notice be required.

(b) Cashless Exercise. Solely in the event that if at any time after ninety (90) calendar days following the Execution Date of the Exchange Agreement there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

 

  (A) =

as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

 

  (B) =

the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

 

  (X) =

the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

“Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the OTCQB Venture Market (the “OTCQB”) or the OTCQX Best Market (the “OTCQX”) is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market operated by the OTC Markets, Inc. (the “Pink Market”) (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

 

2


“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if the OTCQB or the OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on the Pink Market, the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Holders of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 1(b).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, on the Termination Date, this Warrant shall be automatically exercised via cashless exercise pursuant to this Section 1(b).

(c) Mechanics of Delivery.

(i) Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Exercise Notice by the date that is the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day after the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) one (1) Trading Day and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Exercise Notice.

 

3


If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Exercise Notice by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the third Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Exercise Notice.

(ii) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 1(c)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(iii) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(c)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date (other than any such failure that is solely due to any action or inaction by the Holder with respect to such exercise), and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(d) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued in connection with any exercise hereunder. All Warrant Shares (including fractions) issuable upon exercise of this Warrant may be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the exercise would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after aggregation, the exercise would result in the issuance of a fractional share, the Company shall, in lieu of issuance of any fractional share, make a cash payment therefor based upon the fair market value of the Warrant Shares as determined by the Company.

(e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to issuance of Warrant Shares upon exercise as set forth on the applicable Exercise Notice, the Holder (together with the Holder’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as defined below. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, non-exercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or non-converted portion of any other securities of the Company (including without limitation any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this paragraph (d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this paragraph applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any affiliates) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.

For purposes of this paragraph, in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the SEC, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or its transfer agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the request of a Holder, the Company shall within two Trading Days confirm to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be [4.99%][9.99%] of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor Holder of this Warrant. The Company covenants that this Warrant is outstanding, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a number of shares, free from preemptive rights, equal to three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full exercise of the Warrant (based on the Exercise Price in effect at that time).

 

5


Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, and in addition to the beneficial ownership limitations described above, the Company and the Holder agree that no shares of Common Stock may be issued to Holder under this Warrant unless (i) stockholder approval is obtained in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5635(c) and/or 5635(d), as applicable, or (ii) the Common Stock is not listed for quotation on Nasdaq or NYSE American.

(f) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment of Warrant attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Exercise Notice and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES. Subject to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, the Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2 as follows:

(a) Reclassification. In case of any reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination or dividend or as otherwise as adjusted under this Section 2), the Company shall execute a new Warrant, providing that the holder of this Warrant shall have the right to exercise such new Warrant, and procure upon such exercise and payment of the same aggregate Exercise Price, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock theretofore issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities, money and property receivable upon such reclassification or change by a holder of an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock. Such new Warrant shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Section 2. Except for a Liquidation Event (as defined in Section 6), the provisions of this subsection (a) shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes.

(b) Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding (i) pays a stock dividend on its Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, or (iii) combines its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.

 

6


Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this Section 2(b) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination.

(c) Pro Rata Distributions. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, distributes to all holders of Common Stock (i) evidences of its indebtedness, (ii) any security (other than a distribution of Common Stock covered by the preceding paragraph), (iii) rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, or (iv) any other asset (in each case, “Distributed Property”), then, upon any exercise of this Warrant that occurs after the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Warrant Shares otherwise issuable upon such exercise (if applicable), the Distributed Property that such Holder would have been entitled to receive in respect of such number of Warrant Shares had the Holder been the record holder of such Warrant Shares immediately prior to such record date.

(d) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2, the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the increased or decreased number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

3. RESTRICTIONS UPON TRANSFER.

(a) The Company need not register a transfer of this Warrant unless the conditions specified in the legends on the front page hereof are satisfied and the transferee has agreed in writing to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Warrant, including transferee acknowledging in writing that it meets the investor suitability criteria set forth in this Warrant and Exhibit B attached hereto. Subject to the satisfaction of such conditions, any transfer of this Warrant and all rights hereunder, in whole or in part (but not less than 25% of the Warrant Shares originally exercisable under this Warrant being transferred), shall be registered on the books of the Company to be maintained for such purpose, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, or the office or agency designated by the Company, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto duly executed by Holder and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Section, execute and deliver a new Warrant in the name of the assignee, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be canceled.

(b) The Company shall prepare, issue and deliver at its own expense (other than transfer taxes) the new Warrant or Warrants under this Section 3.

5. RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDERS. No holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, as a Warrant holder, to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of Common Stock or any other securities of the Company which may at any time be issuable on the exercise hereof for any purpose, nor shall anything contained herein be construed to confer upon the holder of this Warrant, as such, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether upon any recapitalization, issuance of stock, reclassification of stock, change of par value, consolidation, merger, conveyance, or otherwise) or to receive notice of meetings, or to receive dividends or subscription rights or otherwise until the Warrant shall have been exercised and the Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise hereof shall have become deliverable, as provided herein.

6. EXPIRATION OF WARRANT. This Warrant shall expire and shall no longer be exercisable prior to the first to occur of the following (the “Expiration Date”):

 

  (a)

after 5:30 p.m., Pacific time, on [.], 2026;

 

  (b)

  (c)

a “Liquidation Event” as defined in the Company’s Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, provided that, such termination shall be effected by delivery of written notice to the Holder regarding such termination, and such written notice shall include an option for the Holder to choose, in its sole discretion, to exercise this Warrant in lieu of termination at that time.

7. NON-CIRCUMVENTION. The Company covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) shall, for so long as this Warrant is outstanding, have authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the Warrant to provide for the exercise of the rights represented by this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

8. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Warrant, in and of itself, shall not entitle the Holder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

9. REISSUANCE.

(a) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant.

(b) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, and shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date.

(b) If the proposed transfer or disposition of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares described in the written notice given pursuant to this Section 10 may not be effected without registration or qualification of this Warrant or such Warrant Shares, the Holder will limit its activities in respect to such transfer or disposition as are permitted by law.

(c) Any transferee of all or a portion of this Warrant shall succeed to the rights and benefits of the initial Holder of this Warrant under the Exchange Agreement (registration rights, expenses, and indemnity).

11. NOTICES.

The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice at least 7 days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, (B) with respect to any grants, issuances or sales of any stock or other securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or other property, pro rata to the holders of shares of Common Stock or (C) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder.

INVESTMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT

 

PURCHASER:   
COMPANY :    JAGUAR HEALTH, INC.
SECURITY :    COMMON STOCK ISSUED UPON EXERCISE OF THE WARRANT
AMOUNT :    __________ SHARES
DATE :    ____________, 20__

In connection with the purchase of the above referenced shares (the “Securities”), the undersigned represents to the Company the following:

The undersigned is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, and has acquired sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Securities. The undersigned is purchasing these Securities for its own account for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for the resale in connection with, any “distribution” thereof for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The undersigned understands that offer and sale of the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act in reliance upon a specific exemption therefrom, which exemption depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the undersigned’s investment intent as expressed herein. In this connection, the undersigned understands that, in the view of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the statutory basis for such exemption may be unavailable if this representation was predicated solely upon a present intention to hold these Securities for the minimum capital gains period specified under tax statutes, for a deferred sale, for or until an increase or decrease in the market price of the Securities, or for a period of one year or any other fixed period in the future.

The undersigned further understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless the offer and sale of the Securities are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. Moreover, the undersigned understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the offer and sale of the Securities. In addition, the undersigned understands that the certificate evidencing the Securities will be imprinted with a legend which prohibits the transfer of the Securities unless the offer and sale of the Securities are registered or such registration is not required in the opinion of counsel for the Company.

The undersigned is familiar with the provisions of Rule 144, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, which, in substance, permits limited public resale of “restricted securities” acquired, directly or indirectly, from the issuer thereof, in a non-public offering subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

The Securities may be resold in certain limited circumstances subject to the provisions of Rule 144, which requires, among other things, the existence of a public market for the Securities, the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring not less than one year after a party has purchased and paid for the security to be sold, the sales being effected through a “broker’s transaction” or in transactions directly with a “market maker” and the number of Securities being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.


The undersigned further understands that in the event that all of the applicable requirements of Rule 144 are not satisfied, registration under the Securities Act, compliance with Regulation A, or some other registration exemption will be required; and that, notwithstanding the fact that Rule 144 is not exclusive, the Staff of the SEC has expressed its opinion that persons proposing to sell private placement securities other than in a registered offering and otherwise than pursuant to Rule 144 will have a substantial burden of proof in establishing that an exemption from registration is available for such offers or sales, and that such persons and their respective brokers who participate in such transactions do so at their own risk.

The undersigned hereby ratifies and confirms all of the original Holder’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 of the Exchange Agreement, including but not limited to that the undersigned is an “Accredited Investor” as set forth in the Warrant and is not a “Bad Actor” as set forth in the Warrant and if the undersigned is not a United States person as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), Holder hereby represents that Holder has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of the Warrant, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained in connection with such purchase, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. Holder’s purchase and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Warrant Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Holder’s jurisdiction. Holder acknowledges that no representations or warranties, oral or written, have been made by the Company or any agent thereof in connection with Holder’s exercise of this Warrant.

THIS NOTE EXCHANGE AND WARRANT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 23, 2025 (the “Execution Date”), is entered into by and between JAGUAR HEALTH, INC., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”), and the purchaser identified on the signature pages hereto (including its successors and assigns, the “Participating Buyer”).

No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Exchange Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Additional Securities) will not (a) result in a violation of the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s certificate or articles of incorporation, by-laws or other organizational or charter documents, (b) conflict with, or constitute a material default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a material default) under, result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, instrument or any “lock-up” or similar provision of any underwriting or similar agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party, or (c) result in a violation of any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or any Subsidiary or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect), nor is the Company otherwise in violation of, conflict with or in default under any of the foregoing.

Assuming the accuracy of the Participating Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Additional Securities by the Company to the Participating Buyer as contemplated hereby. The issuance and sale of the Additional Securities hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.

 

  (j)

No Commission Paid.

  (l)

Legends. The parties agree that the Replacement Note and New Warrant and, until such time as the Replacement Conversion Shares and the New Warrant Shares have been registered under the Securities Act, the Replacement Conversion Shares and the New Warrant Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Additional Securities):

“NEITHER THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE OR CONVERTIBLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Additional Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Additional Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, (b) following any sale of such New Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the New Warrant), or (c) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC).

 

10


The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Participating Buyer if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by the Participating Buyer, respectively. The Participating Buyer agrees to sell all Additional Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. The Company agrees that at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 5(l), it will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by the Participating Buyer to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Replacement Conversion Shares or New Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to the Participating Buyer a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5(l). Certificates for Replacement Conversion Shares or New Warrant Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Participating Buyer by crediting the account of the Participating Buyer’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by the Participating Buyer. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing Replacement Conversion Shares or New Warrant Shares, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend.

In addition to the Participating Buyer’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to the Participating Buyer, in cash, (i) as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Replacement Conversion Shares or New Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such Additional Securities are submitted to the Transfer Agent) as applicable, delivered for removal of the restrictive legend and subject to Section 5(l), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day five (5) Trading Days after the Legend Removal Date) for each Trading Day after the Legend Removal Date until such certificate is delivered without a legend and (ii) if the Company fails to (a) issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Participating Buyer by the Legend Removal Date a certificate representing the Additional Securities so delivered to the Company by the Participating Buyer that is free from all restrictive and other legends and (b) if after the Legend Removal Date the Participating Buyer purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Participating Buyer of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock that the Participating Buyer anticipated receiving from the Company without any restrictive legend, then, an amount equal to the excess of the Participating Buyer’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) (the “Buy-In Price”) over the product of (A) such number of Replacement Conversion Shares or New Warrant Shares, as applicable, that the Company was required to deliver to the Participating Buyer by the Legend Removal Date multiplied by (B) the lowest closing sale price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by the Participating Buyer to the Company of the applicable Replacement Conversion Shares or New Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this paragraph.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Participating Buyer may from time to time pledge pursuant to a bona fide margin agreement with a registered broker-dealer or grant a security interest in some or all of the Additional Securities to a financial institution that is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act and, if required under the terms of such arrangement, the Participating Buyer may transfer pledged or secured Additional Securities to the pledgees or secured parties. Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At the Participating Buyer’s expense, the Company will execute and deliver such reasonable documentation as a pledgee or secured party of the Additional Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Additional Securities, including, if the Additional Securities are subject to registration pursuant to this Agreement, the preparation and filing of any required prospectus supplement under Rule 424(b)(3) under the Securities Act or other applicable provision of the Securities Act to appropriately amend the list of selling stockholders (as identified in the applicable registration statement) thereunder.

In connection with any transfer of Additional Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Participating Buyer or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in the preceding paragraph, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Additional Securities under the Securities Act. As a condition of transfer, any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have the rights and obligations of the Participating Buyer under this Agreement.

 

  (m)

Registration Statement. As soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 30 calendar days of the date of this Agreement), the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or other appropriate form if the Company is not then S-3 eligible; the “Additional Registration Statement”) providing for the resale by the Participating Buyer of (i) the Replacement Conversion Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of the Replacement Note and (ii) the New Warrant Shares issued and issuable upon exercise of the New Warrant. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective no later than three (3) business days after the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such registration statement will not be reviewed or will not be subject to further review.

 

6.

Transfer Agent Instructions. Prior to registration of the Replacement Conversion Shares and New Warrant Shares under the Securities Act or the date on which the Replacement Conversion Shares and New Warrant Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Additional Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5(l) of this Agreement.

Jaguar Health Announces Extension of the Maturity Date of its Convertible Promissory Notes from Recently Closed Bridge Financing to January 30, 2026

Company’s CEO, board members, other C-suite members, and institutional and accredited investors are participants in the extension of the bridge financing

San Francisco, CA (June 24, 2025): Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) (“Jaguar” or “the Company”), announced today that the maturity date has been extended from June 30, 2025 to January 30, 2026 for approximately $2.57 million aggregate principal amount of convertible promissory notes originally issued by the Company as part of the previously announced $3.448 million bridge financing that closed on March 31, 2025. Prior to the extension, five investors converted $0.866 million (including accrued interest) of the original bridge financing into equity in the Company.

“We’re very pleased with each of the participants in this bridge financing that agreed to the extension of the maturity date,” said Lisa Conte, Jaguar’s Founder and CEO. “Each of these investors is committed to helping provide the resources needed to support Jaguar’s goal of forging corporate partnerships to bring in non-dilutive funding for the Company’s three core development programs for crofelemer, our novel plant-based prescription medicine: our orphan disease intestinal failure program; our ongoing efforts to make crofelemer available for treatment of cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD) in patients with metastatic breast cancer receiving selected targeted therapies; and our ongoing development program to expand access for Canalevia® (crofelemer delayed-release tablets) in dogs from the conditional approval in chemotherapy-induced diarrhea to a potential global approval for acute general diarrhea.”
