The shelf effectiveness enables immediate warrant-share resales, likely pressuring CTXR's stock price given the ~20% overhang and distressed financials (going-concern, $4.6M cash). Monitor for selling volume spikes and any Nasdaq delisting update. The $4.8M potential cash exercise is insufficient to address the cash burn.

Executive Summary
The SEC declared effective Citius Pharmaceuticals' S-3 shelf registration (File No. 333-296195) on June 2, 2026. This enables the resale of 5,431,473 shares underlying warrants issued in the April 2026 registered direct offering, creating immediate overhang of ~20% of shares outstanding. The company receives no proceeds from resales, though warrant cash exercise could yield up to $4.8M.
