BioXcel Therapeutics Announces Pricing of $7.0 Million Public Offering
November 22 2024 - 8:16AM
BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BTAI), a
biopharmaceutical company utilizing artificial intelligence
approaches to develop transformative medicines in neuroscience and
immuno-oncology, today announced the pricing of an underwritten
public offering of 5,600,000 shares of its common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), and accompanying warrants to
purchase up to 5,600,000 shares of Common Stock, and, in lieu
thereof to certain investors that so choose, pre-funded warrants to
purchase up to 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock and accompanying
warrants to purchase up to 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock, at a
combined public offering price of $0.48 per share and accompanying
warrant (or $0.479 per share underlying each pre-funded warrant and
accompanying warrant, which equals the public offering price per
share of Common Stock and accompanying warrant less the $0.001
exercise price per share of the pre-funded warrants). Gross
proceeds to the Company from the offering are expected to be
approximately $7.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts
and commissions and offering expenses, and excluding the exercise
of any of the warrants.
Each of the warrants in the offering will be subject to
customary beneficial ownership limitations on exercisability, will
be exercisable at any time after the date of issuance of such
warrant and, in the case of the accompanying warrants, will expire
on the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance. Each of the
accompanying warrants will have an exercise price of $0.48 per
underlying share of Common Stock.
Canaccord Genuity is acting as sole book-running manager for the
public offering. The offering is expected to close on or about
November 25, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
The securities are being offered by the Company pursuant to a
shelf registration statement on Form S-3 that was previously filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November
2, 2023 and which became effective on November 13, 2023. This
offering is being made only by means of a written prospectus and
prospectus supplement that form a part of the registration
statement. A preliminary prospectus supplement relating to and
describing the terms of the offering was filed with the SEC and is
available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The final terms of
the offering will be disclosed in a final prospectus supplement to
be filed with the SEC. When available, copies of the prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the offering
