AND ONE SERIES B WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
PRE-FUNDED UNITS CONSISTING OF ONE PRE-FUNDED WARRANT TO PURCHASE ONE SHARE OF
COMMON STOCK, ONE SERIES A WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK AND ONE SERIES B WARRANT TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE OF THE PRE-FUNDED WARRANTS, SERIES A WARRANTS AND SERIES B WARRANTS
We are offering units (collectively, the units) in a firm
commitment underwritten public offering. Each unit consists of (i) one share of our common stock, (ii) a warrant to purchase share of our common stock (which equates to
% warrant coverage) at an exercise price of $ per share, which will be immediately exercisable and will expire five years from the date of issuance (a Series A
Warrant) and (iii) a warrant to purchase share of our common stock (which equates to % warrant coverage) at
an exercise price of $ per share, which will be immediately exercisable and expire on June 30, 2026 (a Series B Warrant).
We
are also offering to certain investors the opportunity to purchase, in lieu of the units, pre-funded units (collectively, the pre-funded units), consisting of (i) one pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of common stock, (ii) one Series A
Warrant and (iii) one Series B Warrant. The purchase price of each pre-funded unit will equal the price per unit being sold to the public in this offering, minus $0.001, and the exercise price of each pre-funded warrant will equal $0.001 per share of common stock.
The shares of common stock (or pre-funded
warrants sold in lieu thereof) and the accompanying warrants can only be purchased together in this offering but will be issued separately and will be immediately separable upon issuance.
This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of the shares of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of such pre-funded warrants, Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants.
Certain existing stockholders, including
stockholders affiliated with certain of our directors, are participating in this offering and have expressed an interest in purchasing an aggregate of $25,000,000 of our units on the same terms as other investors in this offering. However, because
these indications of interest are not binding agreements or commitments to purchase, the underwriters may determine to sell more, less or no units in this offering to any or all of these potential purchasers, or any or all of these potential
purchasers may determine to purchase more, less or no units in this offering. See the section titled Underwriting for more information regarding these arrangements.
Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol TNYA.
On February 28, 2025, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $1.01 per share. There is no established public trading market for
the pre-funded warrants, the Series A Warrants or the Series B Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to list the pre-funded warrants, the
Series A Warrants or the Series B Warrants on the Nasdaq Global Select Market, any other national securities exchange or any other recognized trading system.
We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company as defined under U.S. federal securities laws and as
such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus supplement and may elect to do so for future filings. See Prospectus Supplement SummaryImplications of Being an Emerging
Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company.
