The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as it is currently being conducted and to own, lease and operate its properties. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, partnership or limited liability company in each jurisdiction in which the character or location of its properties (owned, leased or licensed) or the nature or conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary, except, in each case, for those failures to be so qualified or in good standing which (individually and in the aggregate) would not reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change to (A) the business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, shareholders’ equity, properties or prospects of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined), taken as a whole; or (B) the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummation of any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a “Material Adverse Effect”).
(b) Authorization of this Agreement and the Shares. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its respective terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.
(c) Governmental Consents. All consents, approvals, orders or authorizations of, or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings with, any governmental authority required on the part of the Company in connection with the execution of this Agreement and the issuance of the Shares has been obtained.
(d) Compliance with Laws. To its knowledge, the Company is not in violation of any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or restriction of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof with respect to the conduct of its business or the ownership of its assets, the violation of which would materially and adversely affect the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or operations of the Company.
(e) Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or default of any term of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws, as amended from time to time, or of any provision of any mortgage, indenture or contract to which it is a party and by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ, other than such violation(s) that would not have a material adverse effect on the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with, or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any such provision, instrument, judgment, decree, order or writ or an event that results in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture, or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations or any of its assets or properties.
(f) Issuance of the Shares. The Shares are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable provisions herein, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all liens imposed by the Company.

The issuance and sale of the Shares will not obligate the Company or any Subsidiary to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any person (other than the Investor) and will not result in a right of any holder of Company securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under any of such securities. There are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary that contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or such Subsidiary.

(c) The Investor or the Investor’s representative is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares.

(c) Notwithstanding anything express or implied in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the SEC for any reason limits the number of Shares that may be included and sold by the Investor in the Resale Registration Statement, the Company shall: (i) reduce the number of Shares included in the Resale Registration Statement on behalf of the Investor in whole or in part (such excluded Shares, the “Reduction Securities”), (ii) give the Investor prompt notice of the number of such Reduction Securities excluded in connection with the exclusion of such Reduction Securities arising from any interactions between the Company and the SEC with respect to the number of Shares that may be included and sold by the Investor in the Resale Registration Statement, and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts at the first opportunity that is permitted by the SEC to register for resale the Reduction Securities (or such portion thereof as the SEC will allow to be registered for resale at such time) pursuant to a new registration statement covering the resale of the Reduction Securities (or such portion thereof as the SEC will allow to be registered for resale at such time) for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 and shall file such new registration statement with the SEC within thirty (30) calendar days following (x) the date that the SEC would allow or permit such additional registration statement to be filed or (y) the date on which the Company first learned the date that the SEC would allow or permit such additional registration statement to be filed, whichever of (x) or (y) is the later date.

In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party, and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded, based on an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party, that there may be a conflict of interest between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 6.2 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party, representing all of the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action without its written consent. In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the indemnifying party shall have approved in writing the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

(e) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.2 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 6.2 in respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Investor from the private placement of the Shares hereunder or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but the relative fault of the Company and the Investor in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in this Agreement and/or the Resale Registration Statement that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Investor on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the amount paid by the Investor to the Company pursuant to this Agreement for the Shares purchased by the Investor that were sold pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement bears to the difference (the “Difference”) between the amount the Investor paid for the Shares that were sold pursuant to the Resale Registration Statement and the amount received by the Investor from such sale. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Investor on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Investor and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 6.2, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in paragraph (d) of this Section 6.2 with respect to the notice of the threat or commencement of any threat or action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this paragraph (e); provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any threat or action for which notice has been given under paragraph (d) for purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.2 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Investor were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.2, the Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the Difference exceeds the amount of any damages that the Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Investor’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 6.2 are several and not joint with the Other Investor’ obligation to contribute pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Agreements between the Other Investor and the Company.

Exhibit 99.1
NeOnc Technologies (Nasdaq: NTHI) Announces AI-Driven Findings Showing Ultrasound Enhances the Potency
of an Already Effective NEO100 in Treating Primary and Metastatic Brain Tumors
CALABASAS, Calif., Dec. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NeOnc Technologies Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTHI), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing brain-penetrant therapeutics for central nervous system (CNS) cancers, today announced newly published preclinical findings from a research collaboration at the University of Southern California (USC). The study, now available on bioRxiv (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.11.25.690556v1), demonstrates that ultrasound further enhances and amplifies NEO100’s therapeutic potency, driving strong antitumor effects across multiple primary and metastatic brain tumor types.
Utilizing an AI-driven, 3D-bioprinted New Approach Methodology (NAM), researchers at USC, led by Dr. Josh Neman—Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery and Chief Clinical Officer of NTHI—identified NEO100 as a leading sonodynamic therapy agent. This NAM platform—built on NTHI-patented rapid magnetic 3D bioprinting technology (US Patent 11,788,057)—facilitates the rapid generation of physiologically relevant patient-derived tumor organoids within hours, rather than the weeks typically required by conventional methods, thereby significantly accelerating biomedical research and aligning with NIH objectives to minimize animal testing.
An AI-driven positive–unlabeled neural network, trained on over 200 molecular descriptors, was employed to predict compounds most likely to respond to focused ultrasound, penetrate the blood–brain barrier, and exhibit potent sonodynamic therapeutic activity. Throughout this extensive AI screening initiative, the platform consistently identified NEO100 as a leading predicted sonosensitizer. Validation studies on rapidly bioprinted tumor spheroids—including glioblastoma, pediatric medulloblastoma, high-grade meningioma, and breast- and lung-to-brain metastases—demonstrated that NEO100 displayed markedly enhanced tumor-killing activity when combined with focused ultrasound parameters. Together, these results support moving NEO100 combined with focused ultrasound into future clinical trials for a wide range of primary and metastatic brain tumors.
“This breakthrough provides strong external validation for NEO100’s potential as a first-in-class, noninvasive sonodynamic therapeutic. The integration of AI, 3D bioprinting, and ultrasound significantly expands NEO100’s commercial and clinical opportunity beyond current indications,” said Amir Heshmatpour, Executive Chairman and President of NTHI.
