The release does not state a reason, and about 5,886,774 shares outstanding on October 21 would become roughly 588,677.

Onconetix is built around Proclarix, a blood test used to assess prostate cancer risk, and depends on Labcorp (NYSE:LH) to market it. It has advanced $3.0 million of an up to $5.0 million bridge facility to Realbotix, an AI-powered humanoid robot maker, for an all-stock acquisition that still needs shareholder and regulatory approval.
