KALA BIO ( (KALA) ) just unveiled an announcement.
On December 30, 2025, KALA BIO entered into a series of equity-based settlements, agreeing to issue 900,000 common shares to Baker Bros. Advisors to resolve claims over participation rights and securing a six‑month voting proxy over those and certain other Baker Bros. shares, 2,200,000 shares to LifeSci Capital to settle financial advisory fee obligations, and 1,100,000 shares to Delaware IR to satisfy a $600,000 marketing and advertising consulting liability via stock with a make‑whole feature tied to sale proceeds. That same day, the company issued a total of 4,600,000 unregistered common shares in private transactions—4.2 million under these settlements and 400,000 to employees—and later disclosed that, following a $2 million payment completed by December 26, 2025, it had fully extinguished approximately $10.6 million of debt owed to Oxford Finance, a move management described on January 5, 2026 as a transformational step that removes a significant debt overhang, increases stockholders’ equity and improves KALA BIO’s financial flexibility, while also using equity awards as inducements to hire four new employees.

Spark’s Take on KALA Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, KALA is a Neutral.
The score is held down primarily by severely weak financial performance (minimal revenue, large losses, heavy cash burn, and negative equity). Technicals also remain bearish (below major moving averages with negative MACD). Corporate events provide limited offset—debt settlement and financing help—but ongoing listing/compliance and distress-related risks remain substantial.
