Empery Digital Inc. Terminates Rights Agreement; Rights Expire July 6, 2026
What Happened
Empery Digital Inc. announced on July 6, 2026 that it entered into an amendment with Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent, to accelerate the expiration of its preferred share purchase rights. The Rights Agreement (originally dated February 3, 2025) will terminate at the Close of Business on July 6, 2026, and all rights previously issued to holders of the company’s common stock under that agreement will expire at that time. The company attached the amendment as Exhibit 4.1 and issued a related press release (Exhibit 99.1).
Key Details
- Amendment date: July 6, 2026; Rights Agreement originally dated February 3, 2025.
- Expiration accelerated from Close of Business on February 2, 2027 to Close of Business on July 6, 2026.
- At the time of the amendment, no preferred shares were issued and outstanding.
- The Rights Agreement will terminate on July 6, 2026; all distributed Rights will expire at termination.
Why It Matters
This filing removes a previously adopted shareholder rights plan (sometimes called a "poison pill") by accelerating its expiration and terminating the Rights Agreement. For investors, that means the outstanding rights that could dilute or alter positions in certain takeover scenarios will cease to exist after July 6, 2026. The filing is documentary (the amendment and a press release are attached) and contains no indication of any preferred shares being outstanding.
