SAN DIEGO, April 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biora Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BIOR), the biotech company that is reimagining therapeutic delivery, today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements for the purchase and sale of 5,454,548 shares of the Company’s common stock at an offering price of $1.10 per share of common stock in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules. In addition, in a concurrent private placement, the Company will issue unregistered warrants to purchase up to 5,454,548 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $1.10 per share, will be exercisable beginning on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and will expire five years from the date of stockholder approval. The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about April 3, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. H.C. Wainwright & Co. is acting as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. The gross proceeds to Biora from this offering are expected to be approximately $6 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses. Biora intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to support its operations, complete its ongoing BT-600 clinical trial, make further investments in the development of its oral biotherapeutics platforms, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The shares of common stock (but not the warrants issued in the private placement or the shares of common stock underlying the warrants) are being offered by the Company pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-258301) that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 30, 2021 and was declared effective on August 6, 2021. The offering of the shares of common stock is being made only by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of an effective registration statement. A prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the offering of the shares of common stock will be filed with the SEC. Electronic copies of the prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus may be obtained, when available, on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or by contacting H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC at 430 Park Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10022, by phone at (212) 856-5711 or e-mail at placements@hcwco.com. The Company also has agreed to amend certain existing warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 6,415,822 shares of the Company’s common stock that were previously issued to investors on dates ranging from February 2021 to December 2023, with exercise prices ranging from $1.26 to $8.22 per share, effective upon the closing of the offering, such that the amended warrants will have a reduced exercise price of $1.10 per share, will be exercisable beginning on the effective date of stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares issuable upon exercise of the amended warrants, and will expire five years from the date of stockholder approval. The warrants described above are being issued in a concurrent private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws.
