Plus Therapeutics, Inc. Announces Closing of $15 Million Underwritten Public Offering
September 26 2019 - 4:10PM
Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSTV) (the “Company”) today
announced the closing of its previously announced underwritten
public offering (the “Offering”) of 3,000,000 units, each unit
consisting of one share of common stock (or a common stock
equivalent) and one Series U Warrant to purchase one share of
common stock at a public offering price of $5.00 per unit.
The shares of common stock (or common stock equivalents) and
warrants comprising the units were immediately separable and were
issued separately, but were purchased together. The Series U
Warrants have an exercise price of $5.00 per share, are immediately
exercisable and will expire 5 years from the date of issuance.
In addition, the underwriter has exercised its option to
purchase additional Series U Warrants to purchase up to 450,000
shares of common stock. The Company has also granted the
underwriter a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 450,000
shares of common stock.
H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the sole book-running manager
for the Offering.
The gross proceeds of the Offering are approximately $15
million, prior to deducting underwriting discounts and commissions
and estimated offering expenses and excluding the exercise of any
Series U Warrants and the underwriter’s option to purchase
additional securities. In addition, in the event the Series U
Warrants are exercised in full, including the Series U Warrants
issued upon partial exercise of the underwriter’s option to
purchase additional securities, the Company expects to receive
approximately $17.25 million in additional gross proceeds.
However, there can be no assurance that all or a portion of
the Series U Warrants will be exercised prior to their
expiration.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this Offering
for working capital, payment of interest on its debt and general
corporate purposes, which may include research and development of
its oncology product pipeline, preclinical and clinical trials and
studies, regulatory submissions, expansion of its sales and
marketing organizations and efforts, intellectual property
protection and enforcement and capital expenditures.
