AmpliTech Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMPG, AMPGR, AMPGZ) announced today that its previously listed warrants (Nasdaq: AMPGW) expired in accordance with their original terms at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 19, 2026. Trading in the warrants ceased at the close of market on February 18, 2026, after which the warrants were removed from listing on Nasdaq. The company reported that prior to their expiration, there were a total of 1,371,428 warrants outstanding, each 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 are of no further value. This expiration occurs automatically under the warrant agreement, does not require any action from warrant holders, and the company no longer has to put these amount of shares in reserve. There is no impact on the company’s common stock, Series A Right, and Series B Right, which will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbols AMPG, AMPGR, and AMPGZ.
The expiration of these warrants is a significant corporate event for AmpliTech Group, as it removes potential dilution from outstanding warrants. Warrants that could have been exercised at $7.00 per share are now void, meaning the company will not receive additional capital from warrant exercises. This also frees up shares that were previously reserved for warrant exercises, potentially simplifying the company's capital structure. For investors, the expiration eliminates the overhang of warrants that could have been exercised, which might be viewed positively as it reduces future dilution. However, the warrants expired out of the money, as the company's stock price has likely traded below the $7.00 exercise price, providing no incentive for holders to exercise.
AmpliTech Group, comprising five divisions including AmpliTech Inc., Specialty Microwave, Spectrum Semiconductors Materials, AmpliTech Group Microwave Design Center, and AmpliTech Group True G Speed Services, is a leading designer, developer, manufacturer, and distributor of cutting-edge radio frequency (RF) microwave components and ORAN 5G network solutions.

Investors should note that while the warrants have expired, the company's common stock and rights continue to trade normally.
