S-1: FOXO Technologies Files S-1 for Resale of 10 Million Shares Amidst Going Concern Warning and Strategic Healthcare Shift
Registration Statement
FOXO Technologies Inc. has filed an S-1 registration statement to allow selling stockholders to resell up to 10 million shares of Class A Common Stock, while the company faces a going concern warning and continues its strategic shift into healthcare services.
Summary
- FOXO Technologies Inc. (FOXO) has filed an S-1 registration statement to register the resale of up to 10,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock by certain selling stockholders, primarily Sabby Volatility Warrant Master Fund, Ltd. and Sabby Healthcare Master Fund, Ltd.
- These shares are issuable upon the conversions of Series A Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock held by the selling stockholders.
- The company operates in two reportable business segments: Healthcare (comprising a rural hospital division and a mental and behavioral health division) and Labs and Life (focused on epigenetics diagnostics and interpretation).
- Recent strategic acquisitions include Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc. (June 2024) for behavioral health services and Rennova Community Health, Inc. (September 2024), which owns Scott County Community Hospital (d/b/a Big South Fork Medical Center), a critical access hospital in Tennessee.
- FOXO's independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph in its report on the audited financial statements, raising substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring negative cash flows and losses from operations.
- The company explicitly states it does not expect to be able to fund its operations through December 2025 without a need for additional financing or an increase in cash and cash equivalents balances.
- A 1-for-10 reverse stock split was effected on April 28, 2025, with all share amounts in the filing adjusted to reflect this.
- Rennova Health, Inc. (RHI), which is controlled by FOXO's Chief Executive Officer, Seamus Lagan, currently controls a majority of the company's voting power through Series A Preferred Stock and a Voting and Proxy Agreement.
Sentiment
Score: 2
Explanation: The company is in a precarious financial position, explicitly stating it may not be able to fund operations through the end of the year without further financing, and its auditor has issued a going concern warning. While there are strategic acquisitions and patent allowances, these are overshadowed by significant losses, high dilution risk from the current offering (which provides no proceeds to the company), and a complex capital structure with ongoing debt and equity issuances at discounts.
Positives
- FOXO Technologies has strategically expanded its operations into the healthcare sector through the acquisitions of Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc. (behavioral health) and Rennova Community Health, Inc. (rural hospital).
- Myrtle Recovery Centers, Inc. successfully commenced operations and began accepting patients on August 14, 2023, and expanded its services on November 1, 2023.
- The Labs and Life segment is commercializing proprietary epigenetic biomarker technology, with a focus on direct-to-consumer wellness testing and AI-powered health insights, indicating potential for future growth.
- The USPTO has issued Notices of Allowance for two patents related to the use of machine learning techniques for epigenetic biomarkers, which could enhance the protection of a future AI platform.
- The company has taken various actions to bolster its cash position, including raising funds through private debt and equity offerings and conserving cash by issuing payment shares and rights to satisfy outstanding amounts.
Negatives
- The independent registered public accounting firm has included an explanatory paragraph regarding substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to recurring negative cash flows and losses from operations.
- The company explicitly states it does not expect to be able to fund its operations through December 2025 without additional financing.
- FOXO reported significant net losses attributable to FOXO of $(12,406,389) for the year ended December 31, 2024, and $(26,450,536) for the year ended December 31, 2023.
- Pro-forma net losses, reflecting recent acquisitions, were also substantial at $(14,643,377) for 2024 and $(21,215,341) for 2023.
- The resale of up to 10,000,000 shares by selling stockholders, representing approximately 48.50% of the Class A Common Stock outstanding as of June 4, 2025, could cause significant dilution and depress the market price.
- The conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock is set at the higher of $0.01 or 90% of the average VWAP of the five trading days prior to conversion, creating a financial incentive for selling stockholders to sell immediately upon conversion, which could further depress the stock price.
- RHI, controlled by the CEO, holds a majority of the company's voting power, which limits the influence of other stockholders on corporate affairs and transactions.
- The company has experienced frequent changes in its independent registered public accounting firm, with KPMG dismissed in June 2023, EisnerAmper dismissed in January 2024, and Kreit & Chiu CPA LLP appointed in December 2023.
Risks
- The company's recurring negative cash flows and losses from operations raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, indicating a high risk of financial instability.
- FOXO does not have sufficient capital to fund its operations and anticipates needing additional financing to continue through December 2025.
- Existing stockholders may experience significant dilution from the sale of up to 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders, which could lead to a decline in the market price of the Common Stock.
- Sales of a substantial number of securities by the Selling Stockholders or other existing stockholders, or the perception of such sales, could depress the market price of the Common Stock and Public Warrants and impair the company's ability to raise future capital.
- The discounted conversion price of the Series A Preferred Stock (higher of $0.01 or 90% of 5-day average VWAP) incentivizes immediate sales by holders, potentially causing further declines in the Common Stock price.
- RHI, controlled by the CEO, holds a majority of the company's voting power, which may limit or eliminate minority shareholders' ability to influence corporate affairs, including the appointment of directors and approval of transactions.
- Anti-takeover provisions in the company's Charter and Bylaws, such as restrictions on business combinations, the ability to issue undesignated preferred stock, and limitations on calling special meetings, could deter hostile takeovers and make changes in management or corporate governance more difficult.
- The company operates in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment, which introduces new and unpredictable risks and uncertainties that could adversely affect its business and financial performance.
Future Outlook
FOXO Technologies plans to grow its rural hospital division through acquisitions and investments in new operations in targeted areas. It also intends to expand the Myrtle behavioral health business model by acquiring additional operating facilities and replicating the model in other rural hospital properties or suitable premises. The epigenetics division, FOXO Labs, will focus on developing Bioinformatics Services and conducting research and development in health and wellness testing powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence, with a potential AI platform for data-driven insights. The company aims to leverage its extensive epigenetic data and team expertise to build strategic alliances and frequently evaluate commercialization opportunities.
Management Comments
- "We do not expect to be able to fund our operations through December 2025 without a need for additional financing or other increase in our cash and cash equivalents balances."
- "Through the voting rights of our Series A Preferred Stock and a Voting and Proxy Agreement, RHI (which is controlled by our Chief Executive Officer, Seamus Lagan) currently controls a majority of the voting power of our Company."
Industry Context
FOXO Technologies is strategically diversifying its business model by expanding into the healthcare services sector, specifically rural hospitals and behavioral health, while maintaining its core epigenetics diagnostics and interpretation division. This move aligns with broader industry trends focusing on integrated healthcare solutions, addressing underserved rural communities, and leveraging advanced technologies like AI and machine learning for personalized health and wellness. The acquisitions of a critical access hospital and a substance use disorder treatment facility position FOXO to capitalize on the growing demand for accessible and specialized healthcare services, complementing its innovative work in epigenetic biomarkers for preventative health.

Corporate Governance
| Change Type | Description | Effective Date | Impact Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capital Structure Adjustment | A 1-for-10 reverse stock split was implemented, combining every 10 shares of Common Stock into one, effective April 28, 2025. | 2025-04-28 | Reduces the number of outstanding shares, potentially increasing per-share price but not changing total equity value; often used to meet listing requirements or improve market perception. |
| Preferred Stock Designation | The Board approved the designation of 35,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock on October 16, 2024, granting significant voting rights (stated value divided by higher of $0.01 or VWAP). | 2024-10-16 | Concentrates voting power, potentially discouraging attempts to obtain control of the company through mergers, tender offers, or proxy contests. |
| Board Authority | The Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with various rights and preferences without further stockholder action. | N/A | Provides the Board with a tool to deter hostile takeovers by issuing preferred stock with unfavorable terms to an acquirer. |
| Forum Selection | The Charter requires derivative actions and certain other lawsuits against the company's directors, officers, employees, or stockholders to be brought exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and federal district courts for Securities Act claims. | N/A | Aims to provide increased consistency in the application of Delaware law and may discourage certain types of lawsuits against the company's fiduciaries. |
| Stockholder Meeting Procedures | Special meetings of stockholders can only be called by the Chairman of the Board, the President, or the Board, not by other stockholders. | N/A | Limits stockholders' ability to force a vote on matters outside of the annual meeting schedule, potentially entrenching current management. |
| Stockholder Proposal Requirements | The Bylaws impose advance notice requirements for stockholders seeking to bring business or nominate directors at annual meetings. | N/A | May preclude stockholders from introducing matters or nominations if deadlines and specific requirements are not met, supporting board stability. |
| Voting Control | Rennova Health, Inc. (RHI), controlled by the CEO, holds a majority of the company's voting power through Series A Preferred Stock and a Voting and Proxy Agreement. | N/A | Significantly limits the influence of minority shareholders on corporate decisions, including director appointments and major transactions. |
