8-K: NeOnc Technologies to Restate Q1 2025 Financials

NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. announced its Q1 2025 financial statements cannot be relied upon due to an overstatement of share-based compensation expense, requiring a restatement.

Summary

• NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. discovered on August 13, 2025, that its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, filed on May 9, 2025, contained an inadvertent overstatement of non-cash share-based compensation expense.
• The overstatement was related to 1,486,667 restricted stock units (RSUs) issued on January 4, 2024, to members of management.
• The error occurred because the calculation incorrectly assumed the RSUs were fully vested as of March 31, 2025.
• In reality, these RSUs vest over 22 months, and only 15 months had vested by March 31, 2025.
• As a result, the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, should no longer be relied upon and will be restated.
• The restatement will be presented in its entirety in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
