About Sonendo
Sonendo is a commercial-stage medical technology Company focused on saving teeth from tooth decay, the most prevalent chronic disease globally. Sonendo develops and manufactures the GentleWave® System, an innovative technology platform designed to treat tooth decay by cleaning and disinfecting the microscopic spaces within teeth without the need to remove tooth structure. The system utilizes a proprietary mechanism of action, which combines procedure fluid optimization, broad-spectrum acoustic energy and advanced fluid dynamics, to debride and disinfect deep regions of the complex root canal system in a less invasive procedure that preserves tooth structure. The clinical benefits of the GentleWave System when compared to conventional methods of root canal therapy include improved clinical outcomes, such as superior cleaning that is independent of root canal complexity and tooth anatomy, high and rapid rates of healing and minimal to no post-operative pain. In addition, the GentleWave System can improve the workflow and economics of dental practices.

Hmmm Bjarne appears to have lost his way with a second R/S. Here's AI's opinion.
"Sonendo just did a Reverse Split. Is this good for liquidity or is this bad for shareholders please?"
A reverse split like Sonendo’s recent 1-for-200 move generally has mixed effects for shareholders and liquidity.
For liquidity:
In the short term, a reverse split can sometimes increase liquidity by raising the share price, making the stock more attractive to institutional investors who avoid penny stocks.
However, over the medium and long term, reverse splits often reduce liquidity because there are fewer shares available to trade, which can increase bid-ask spreads and transaction costs.
For shareholders:
Reverse splits are often viewed negatively by the market, as they can signal financial distress or an attempt to avoid delisting due to a low share price.
While the higher price per share may improve the company’s image, the total value of each shareholder’s investment remains the same, but with fewer shares. This can harm investor confidence and may result in some shareholders selling their positions.
In summary:
Short-term liquidity may improve, but longer-term liquidity and investor sentiment often suffer after a reverse split.
The move is generally seen as a negative signal for shareholders unless it is part of a broader, successful turnaround strategy.
After the split ss was 428,514
Now it’s 4,148,514
Yeah it’s all a mystery for now. They supposedly did a RS to prevent from going pink but they ended up on the pink sheets anyway and filed a 15-12g form which releases them of sec reporting. 😳
Only good thing is the os structure which is tiny, but I’m sure an offering is in the future but hopefully it’s after the price has risen with some good news.
428,514 OS
Bon chance! Mon ami
To evaluate whether a private placement financing is legitimate or predatory, investors should assess transparency, terms, and alignment of interests. Here’s how to distinguish between beneficial and harmful offerings:
Red Flags of Predatory Private Placements
Lack of Transparency
Missing or vague financial statements, undisclosed fees, or refusal to provide an audited balance sheet or income statement.
No clear explanation of how funds will be used or overly broad claims (e.g., "general corporate purposes").
Unrealistic Promises
Guaranteed returns, "risk-free" claims, or pressure to invest quickly without time for due diligence.
Overly complex structures (e.g., toxic convertible notes with aggressive conversion terms that dilute existing shareholders).
Regulatory Issues
Issuers or promoters with disciplinary histories (e.g., barred from securities industries).
Use of Regulation D exemptions without proper accreditation checks or misuse of exemptions to bypass investor protections.
Misaligned Incentives
Excessive upfront fees or compensation tied to fundraising success rather than long-term performance.
Aggressive sales tactics targeting financially vulnerable investors.
Positive Indicators of Legitimate Offerings
Comprehensive Documentation
A Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) detailing business operations, risks, financials, and use of proceeds.
Audited financial statements and verifiable track records of management.
Investor Protections
Clear alignment with accredited investor criteria (e.g., income or asset thresholds).
Reasonable valuation metrics and terms that avoid excessive dilution (e.g., fixed conversion prices for equity-linked securities).
Regulatory Compliance
Proper SEC filings (e.g., Form D) and adherence to exchange rules for public companies conducting private placements.
Transparent communication about risks, including market volatility and liquidity constraints.
Steps for Investor Due Diligence
Verify Credentials: Check the issuer’s regulatory history using tools like FINRA’s BrokerCheck or the BCSC’s InvestRight.org.
Scrutinize Financials: Demand audited statements and cross-reference claims with independent sources.
Understand Terms: Avoid deals with hidden fees, short repayment windows, or punitive conversion mechanisms.
Consult Advisors: Engage legal or financial experts to review the PPM and term sheets.
By prioritizing transparency, regulatory compliance, and investor alignment, stakeholders can mitigate risks in private placements
If this is a PIPE to be on the safe side, frankly I'd be leery who this private investor is. It's also directors and officers within the company investing. Including new investors but there's a main new investor for this big a restructuring IMHO.

No telling what direction this goes
Ya that split hurtI don't want to add here anymore.The company sold their souls to the devil.
We need a miracle
We need doge sonendo;)
Highway robbery. F*ck the CEO and this company.
Shady shit went on here
Hope doge looks in SONX.
BASL went bankrupt and sold off to the Koreans, beaver gets our BOD.
Things are pointing to them going dark now on the Expert market imo
What a financial disaster holding this pos ol
Same! My average is $7.50 post split.
Not adding anymore now that they don’t have to report and went pink
I feel like such a moron for investing, and wish I would have never discovered the existence of this company. I feel bad for anyone that put money into them, no matter the amount. I know this will haunt and hold me back for years to come. I wish everyone the best.
They don’t have to report. They split to avoid pink sheets and are now a pink sheet WTF
FUCK RETAIL IS THIS CEO’S MO

I guess we are fucked
15-12G" refers to a form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) called "Form 15-12G," which is used by a company to certify that it is terminating its registration of a class of securities under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act, essentially meaning they are "going dark" and no longer need to file regular reports with the SEC because they have a low number of shareholders and meet specific asset thresholds; it signifies the company is deregistering its securities and is no longer required to publicly disclose financial information
What's going on today?
It’s thin, only 427,000 shares outstanding
I think most that wanted out sold for a tax loss.
It opened post split at $5 I think, it’s just working its way back.
They have reduced spending and working for a break even point. Even with that I believe he needs an acquisition or partnership to garner interest and support to think about getting back to the big board again.
At some point he will do an offering hopefully it’s after big news
You guys are in far closer touch than I am
But something's created a gap up. Any theories, clues, assertions?
I’ll be holding till kingdom come unless they acquire, be acquired or merge with an entity larger to generate interest
Same 'Ole story here; the ones that believed in the company and BOD, and invested heavily in the company after the 5 hedge funds, will be the ones who will continue to lose. The amount they split speaks volumes on how much they care about their retail investors, and it will be nearly impossible for those retail investors, like myself, to recoup their investment prior to the split. It's sad too, because I actually had faith that this investment was going to be life changing, or at least a step in the right direction.
Flabbergasted, was such a great company.
When all those 5 industrial funds showed up en masse that one day. I did a double take. The wolves were hungry. That's where I got my itchy feet. No fanfare, no public info, really got gun shy after that. Family office right, it will come back in it's own sweet time. Lord knows when, that's the only thing. All the best in 2025.You guys deserve a break here, just plain nasty.
Only good thing for an otc stock is the fact of only 426,000 outstanding shares
We just need some good news and a pump
Thin as hell
Yeah Bjarne fucked retail real good in 2024
Ya think?? lol
We are trading at 0.0075 pre RS now, and we don't even go bankrupt. Biolase gave us Carolyn Beaver as BOD though. Don't think it was a present for the shareholder either;)
Hunch I'd best postpone that call to Bjarne
Are you guys taking it on the nose as well as the crotch? Sure looks like it. Any rate Merry Christmas you guys. Sad the company is floundering. Hopefully he has something GOOD up his sleeve for the new year. You sure deserve some fresh air here, one way traffic speaks volumes as to market sentiment. ALL the best in the New Year!
I doubt pura needs then to do another RS.
Yup once again the spectacular Sonx
So now we are SONX and not SONXD?
Sonendo President and CEO Bjarne Bergheim said the company was "disappointed" with the decision, but would continue to "evaluate financing options and other strategic alternatives" for itself.
5. In a 10-Q form filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission Nov. 7, Biolase said the winning bid came from MegaGen Implant Co., a South Korean-based dental implant company, while Sonendo's offer was named the backup bid.
6. Biolase said its sale to MegaGen is subject to definitive documentation between the two companies.
Going to be a lot of tax loss selling this month. I reluctantly have been adding to get my ave down
2.06 👆 2.035 (8,140.00%)
Well it's not April 1st yet. Hmmm by my calendar at least anyways. Wouldn't this be commonly known as a trading anomaly when the stock has 81 Xed in a day under seemingly normal circumstances?
... I'm just new here 🍹🍸🥃🍻 Another round and keep them coming bartender (hic)
Hell just take it to 0.0001
Sonendo wtf??
Patents, intellectual property.
I say buyout
How the biolase extended into sonendo baffles me and then wa laa beaver is on the BOD?? Why would a Korean company that makes implants but biolase?? Take out the competition?
It would be better than what we have going
Maybe he will buy bitcoin for the company?;)
Yeah i don’t think he will make a big board comeback on just a technology to clean roots during a root canal procedure. He needs more to offer imo
Strategically Bjarne's back to Square One
If not overextended, what a mess. He got mauled by some rogue CEO who clearly hadn't understood Intellectual Property rights. Now he has to rebuild hence the restructuring which was what made me take the loss in the first place. I suppose he could JV with Korea . But who wants to deal with different language, different currency, different culture, different time zones on a daily basis.
Either he gets acquired, or comes up with a new gizmo. That's why I wanted to talk with the guy, truly understand his realistic options.
