**Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.**

To the extent required by Item 3.03, the disclosure set forth in Item 5.03 is incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.**

On February 13, 2026, Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amendment (the "Certificate of Amendment") to its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at a ratio of 1-for-25 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). Pursuant to the Certificate of Amendment, the Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on February 18, 2026 (the "Effective Time") and shares of the Company's Common Stock are expected to begin trading on a post-split basis at the open of trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market on February 19, 2026. At the Effective Time, every twenty-five (25) shares of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock will be automatically converted into one (1) share of Common Stock, without any change in the par value per share. In addition, proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding stock options, warrants and convertible securities, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company's stock incentive plans. No change will be made to the number of shares of Common Stock authorized under the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Any stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock created as a result of the Reverse Stock Split is entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu thereof equal to the fractional share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing sale price of a share of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on February 18, 2026, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.

Following the Reverse Stock Split, the shares of Common Stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "INTS." The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 45828J 202.

The summary of the Certificate of Amendment contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 8.01 Other Information.**

## Exhibit 3.1

**Exhibit 3.1**

**CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT**

**OF**

**AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION**

The corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, hereby certified that:

<u>FIRST</u>. The name of the corporation is Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Corporation").

<u>SECOND</u>. The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, as amended to date, is hereby further amended by striking the first paragraph in Article FOURTH in its entirety and by substituting in lieu of the following:

"**FOURTH:** The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is (i) 135,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Common Stock") and (ii) 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Preferred Stock"). Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, the number of authorized shares of any of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the General Corporation Law, and no vote of the holders of any of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock voting separately as a class shall be required therefor.

The following is a statement of the designations and the powers, privileges and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof in respect of each class of capital stock of the Corporation.

Effective at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time on February 18, 2026 (the "Reverse Stock Split Effective Time"), a one-for-twenty-five reverse stock split of the Corporation's Common Stock shall become effective, pursuant to which each twenty-five (25) shares of Common Stock outstanding and held of record by each stockholder of the Corporation (including treasury shares) immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time shall be reclassified and combined into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock automatically and without any action by the holder thereof upon the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time and shall represent one share of Common Stock from and after the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time (such reclassification and combination of shares, the "Reverse Stock Split"). No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split and, in lieu thereof, upon surrender after the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time of a certificate which formerly represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, any person who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share of Common Stock as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, following the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, shall be entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the fraction of a share of Common Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the fair value per share of the Common Stock immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time as determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time shall, from and after the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time into which the shares formerly represented by such certificate have been reclassified (as well as the right to receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time); provided, however, that each person of record holding a certificate that represented shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate, a new certificate evidencing and representing the number of whole shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split Effective Time into which the shares of Common Stock formerly represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified."

**Intensity Therapeutics Announces Reverse Stock Split**

*Intensity's common stock is expected to begin trading on a post-split adjusted basis on February 19, 2026*

**Shelton, Conn., February 13, 2026 –** Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. ("Intensity" or "the Company") (Nasdaq: INTS), a late-stage clinical biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel intratumoral cancer therapies that are designed to kill tumors and increase immune system recognition of cancers using its proprietary non-covalent conjugation technology, today announced that the board of directors of the Company approved a 1-for-25 reverse stock split (the "Reverse Split") of the Company's common stock. The Reverse Split was approved by the stockholders of the Company at a special meeting of the Company held on October 22, 2025. The Reverse Split will legally take effect at 4:01 p.m. Eastern Time, on February 18, 2026. The Company's common stock will open for trading under a new CUSIP number 45828J 202 on The Nasdaq Capital Market on February 19, 2026, on a split-adjusted basis under the current ticker symbol "INTS." The Reverse Split is intended to increase the per share trading price of the Company's common stock to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The 1-for-25 Reverse Split will automatically convert every twenty-five (25) current shares of the Company's common stock into one (1) share of common stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold a fractional share of the Company's common stock following the Reverse Split will receive a cash payment in lieu thereof at a price equal to that fractional share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing sale price of the common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as adjusted for the Reverse Split, on February 18, 2026.

The Reverse Split will reduce the number of shares of outstanding common stock from approximately 63,346,579 shares, the number of shares outstanding as of February 12, 2026, to approximately 2,533,863 shares. The total authorized number of shares will not be reduced. Proportional adjustments will also be made to the exercise and conversion prices of the Company's outstanding stock options, warrants, and convertible securities, and to the number of shares issued and issuable under the Company's stock incentive plans.

Stockholders holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares. Stockholders owning shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Reverse Split, subject to brokers' particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the Reverse Split. For those stockholders holding physical stock certificates, the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust, will send instructions for exchanging those certificates for shares held electronically in book-entry form or for new certificates, in either case representing the post-split number of shares, and any payments in cash in lieu of fractional shares, if applicable.

**About INT230-6**

INT230-6, Intensity's lead proprietary investigational product candidate, is designed for direct intratumoral injection. INT230-6 was discovered using Intensity's proprietary DfuseRx℠ technology platform. The drug consists of two proven, potent anti-cancer agents, cisplatin and vinblastine sulfate, and a diffusion and cell penetration enhancer molecule ("SHAO") that facilitates the dispersion of potent cytotoxic drugs throughout tumors, allowing the active agents to diffuse into cancer cells. These agents remain in the tumor, resulting in a favorable safety profile. In addition to local disease control and direct tumor killing, INT230-6 causes a release of a bolus of neoantigens specific to the malignancy, leading to immune system engagement and systemic anti-tumor effects. Importantly, these effects are mediated without immunosuppression, which often occurs with systemic chemotherapy.

**About Intensity Therapeutics**

Intensity is a late-stage clinical biotechnology company whose novel engineered chemistry enables aqueous cytotoxic-containing drug formulations to mix and saturate a tumor's dense, high-fat, pressurized environment following direct intratumoral injection. As a result of the saturation, Intensity's clinical trials have demonstrated the ability of INT230-6 to kill tumors and elicit an adaptive immune response within days of injection, representing a new approach to cancer cell death that holds the potential to shift the treatment paradigm and turn many deadly cancers into chronic diseases even for malignancies that do not respond to conventional immunotherapy. Intensity has completed two clinical studies and enrolled

over 200 patients using INT230-6; a Phase 1/2 dose escalation study in metastatic cancers including sarcomas (NCT03058289), and a Phase 2 randomized control clinical trial in locally advanced breast cancer (the "INVINCIBLE-2 Study") (NCT04781725) in women without undergoing chemotherapy prior to their surgery. The Company initiated a Phase 3 trial in soft tissue sarcoma (the "INVINCIBLE-3 Study") (NCT06263231), testing INT230-6 as second or third line monotherapy compared to the standard of care ("SOC") with overall survival as an endpoint. Intensity also initiated a Phase 2 study (the "INVINCIBLE-4 Study") (NCT06358573) in collaboration with the Swiss Cancer Group, formerly the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research SAKK, as part of a Phase 2/3 program evaluating INT230-6 followed by the SOC immunochemotherapy and the SOC alone for patients with presurgical triple-negative breast cancer. Pathological complete response ("pCR") is the endpoint.
