10 Aug 2026listing compliance notice▼ BadMajor

Arcadia fell below Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for a third time (after 2017 and 2022) -- the clearest sign yet of the company's prolonged distress following the Roosevelt merger's collapse.

15 June 2026capital raising announcement▼ BadMajor

Arcadia raised about $4 million in another pre-funded-warrant-and-options private placement, priced at $1.0299 per unit -- continued reliance on dilutive, option-heavy financing to stay funded after the failed Roosevelt merger.

3 Apr 2026auditor change▼ BadMajor

Arcadia dismissed Deloitte as its independent auditor. Deloitte's own audit reports had carried a going-concern qualification over Arcadia's accumulated deficit and insufficient cash resources, and the company's 10-K disclosed material weaknesses in internal controls -- serious financial-health warning signs, even though there was no disagreement with Deloitte over accounting matters.

14 Jan 2026capital raising announcement▼ BadMajor

Weeks after the Roosevelt deal collapsed, Arcadia induced holders of older investment options (originally priced at $9.00, issued across four financings from Dec 2020 through Mar 2023) to exercise at a steeply reduced $2.575, raising about $2.1 million -- in exchange, holders got new options at an even lower $2.325 strike -- another round of option-recycling to raise emergency cash.

29 Dec 2025material agreement termination▼ BadMajor

Roosevelt terminated the Exchange Agreement -- the deal never closed by its extended deadline -- ending Arcadia's year-long attempt to reverse-merge in an oil-and-gas business. Neither side owes a break-up fee, but Arcadia remains a standalone shell facing the same cash constraints the S-4 had warned about.

31 July 2025business combination▼ BadMajor

Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement for Arcadia's reverse takeover by Roosevelt Resources LP, now written around the April 25, 2025 first amendment to the exchange agreement. Arcadia would issue 12,303,360 shares to Roosevelt's limited partners, leaving them with 90% of the company and existing Arcadia shareholders with 10% - plus a reverse-split proposal on the same ballot - against a Northland fairness opinion that put an implied enterprise value of about $47 million on the Texas oil and gas business coming in.

2 May 2025material agreement● NeutralMajor

The Roosevelt Exchange Agreement's termination deadline was pushed back three months, from May 15 to August 15, 2025 -- signaling the deal was taking longer to close than originally planned.

3 Apr 2025material agreement● Neutral

Arcadia settled with an unnamed licensing counterparty: the counterparty returned certain previously-licensed IP rights and paid Arcadia $750,000, while Arcadia transferred its reduced-gluten and oxidative-stability wheat patent portfolios to the counterparty and gave up any future royalty rights under the older agreement -- a modest legacy-IP cleanup running alongside the pending Roosevelt transaction.

14 Feb 2025business combination● NeutralMajor

This is the document in which Arcadia Biosciences stops being an agricultural company: it would issue 12,284,475 shares -- about $34.5 million at $2.77 -- to the partners of Roosevelt Resources LP, a Texas oil and gas partnership, in exchange for all of Roosevelt's equity, leaving Roosevelt's limited partners with roughly 90% of Arcadia and existing Arcadia shareholders with about 10% (contractually never less than 80/20). Shareholders were asked to approve a 1-for-2 to 1-for-5 reverse split alongside it, and Arcadia warned that without the deal or another funding source it could have to cut back, seek bankruptcy protection or dissolve.

11 Dec 2024business combination▲ GoodMajor

Arcadia announced an all-stock business combination with Roosevelt Resources, LP, a Texas oil-and-gas exploration and production limited partnership formed in 2011 -- structured as a reverse merger in which Roosevelt's limited partners would end up owning approximately 90% of the combined company and existing Arcadia stockholders just 10%, effectively taking Roosevelt public through Arcadia's Nasdaq shell rather than a conventional biotech/ag transaction.

20 May 2024asset acquisition disposition▼ BadMajor

Arcadia exited its GoodWheat specialty-wheat business, selling the assets to Above Food Corp (through subsidiary Arcadia Wellness) -- and paying Above Food $2 million cash as part of the deal -- in exchange for a $6 million promissory note from Above Food, payable in three annual installments over three years and secured by the purchased assets. The unusual structure (paying cash to divest) suggests GoodWheat's ongoing costs outweighed a clean sale price.

17 May 2024asset acquisition disposition▲ GoodMajor

Arcadia sold and licensed its resistant starch durum wheat trait IP to Pioneer Hi-Bred International (a Corteva subsidiary that had worked on the trait since 2017) for $4 million cash -- monetizing a legacy licensing relationship.

3 Mar 2023capital raising announcement▲ GoodMajor

Arcadia raised capital in a private placement at $9.00/share (666,334 shares or pre-funded warrants) plus Series A and Series B investment options -- pricing consistent with a reverse stock split having taken effect since the 2022 sub-$1 financings.

16 Aug 2022capital raising announcement▼ BadMajor

Arcadia raised capital via a registered direct offering at $1.05876/share (4,722,506 shares or pre-funded warrants), with separately-priced long-dated investment options -- pricing now hovering near the $1.00 level that periodically triggers Nasdaq bid-price deficiencies.

Arcadia sold all of its remaining BIOX shares -- $17,970,303 in a block sale to 5D+ Draco I Latam Income Plus, plus $4,125,403 more in open-market sales -- fully cashing out the equity portion of the November 2020 Bioceres deal for roughly $22.1 million combined, on top of the original $5 million cash and ongoing royalties.

21 May 2021asset acquisition disposition▲ GoodMajor

Arcadia acquired substantially all assets of three CBD/wellness brands (Eko Holdings, Lief Holdings, Live Zola) through new subsidiary Arcadia Wellness for $4 million cash plus 827,400 shares -- expanding beyond the Archipelago Hawaii JV into owned CBD consumer brands -- and hired a new Chief Growth Officer to run the business.

Arcadia's largest financing yet: 7,876,784 shares at $3.1925 plus warrants for another 3.9 million shares, with a registration rights agreement obligating the company to register the shares for resale by specific deadlines or pay liquidated damages.

Arcadia induced holders of its 2018 warrants to exercise early by cutting the exercise price from $9.94 to $4.90, expected to raise about $6.82 million -- in exchange, the holders received new warrants at a lower $4.775 strike, another round of the same warrant-recycling pattern.
