ACTON, Mass., Feb. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bluejay Diagnostics (NASDAQ: BJDX) today announced that as of February 19, 2026, all of the prefunded warrants issued by the Company in its October 2025 private placement have been fully exercised, and the Company has no remaining prefunded warrants of any class or tranche outstanding. Following these exercises, the Company now has approximately 972,000 shares of common stock outstanding. In addition, the Company has cash exercisable warrants outstanding for approximately 1.5 million shares. All such warrants have a cash exercise price of $7.00 or greater per share.

The Company notes that several recent Schedule 13G filings made by investors do not reflect the 1-for-4 reverse stock split that occurred on January 29, 2026, and investors reading such filings should be aware that current beneficial ownership share amounts may therefore be significantly less than the number of shares reflected in such reports given that these reports show holdings and total shares outstanding on a pre-split basis, notwithstanding that such reports were filed after consummation of the 1-for-4 reverse stock split.
