AmpliTech Group, Inc. announced that its previously listed warrants expired on February 19, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time according to their original terms. Trading in the warrants ceased at market close on February 18, 2026, after which Nasdaq removed the warrants from listing. The company reported that prior to expiration, there were 1,371,428 warrants outstanding, with each warrant granting the holder the right to purchase one share of common stock at $7.00 per share.
Any AMPGW warrants that remained unexercised at expiration were voided and have no further value. This expiration occurs automatically under the warrant agreement and requires no action from warrant holders. The company no longer has to reserve these shares, though there is no impact on the company's common stock, Series A Right, and Series B Right, which continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbols AMPG, AMPGR, and AMPGZ.
This development matters to investors and market observers because warrant expirations represent a significant milestone in a company's capital structure evolution. The removal of 1.37 million potential shares from dilution consideration provides greater clarity about the company's actual share count and reduces uncertainty about future equity overhang. For current shareholders, this eliminates the potential downward pressure on share prices that can occur when large warrant positions are exercised at below-market prices.
The expiration also simplifies AmpliTech Group's financial reporting and investor communications by removing a complex instrument from its capital structure. Companies often issue warrants as part of financing arrangements, and their expiration typically signals the completion of a particular phase in the company's financial development. This event allows the company to focus investor attention on its operational performance rather than warrant-related considerations.
