PULSE BIOSCIENCES, INC. ANNOUNCES PLANNED REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS
HAYWARD, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — December 23, 2024 — Pulse Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLSE), a company leveraging its novel and proprietary Nanosecond Pulsed Field Ablation™ (nano-PFA or nsPFA™) technology, today announced that it intends to deliver an irrevocable notice of redemption, on or about December 27, 2024, to redeem the first tranche of common stock warrants, redeemable by the Company if the Company’s stock trading price exceeds $16.50 for twenty consecutive trading days, that were issued as part of its July 3, 2024 rights offering which are still outstanding as of February 5, 2025 (the “Redemption Date”). These outstanding common stock warrants (the “150% Warrants”), which were issued in the Company’s 2024 rights offering (the “Rights Offering”), pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-278494), may be exercised by the holders thereof until 6:30 p.m., Eastern time, on the Redemption Date, at the exercise price of $11.00 per share of Company common stock, $0.001 par value per share. Any 150% Warrants not exercised before 6:30 p.m., Eastern time, on February 5, 2025, will be redeemed by the Company for $0.01 per 150% Warrant share (the “Redemption Price”).
Under the terms of the 150% Warrants, the Company has the right to redeem the 150% Warrants (CUSIP # 74587B135) if the volume weighted average price (as defined therein, “VWAP”) exceeds $16.50 per share for twenty (20) consecutive trading days at least three months after the date that the 150% Warrants were issued. This requirement was met for each of the twenty consecutive trading days preceding December 23, 2024. Over this period, the Company had an average VWAP of $18.85.
Any 150% Warrants that remain unexercised at 6:30 p.m., Eastern time, on the Redemption Date, will be void and no longer exercisable, and the holders of those 150% Warrants will be entitled to receive only the Redemption Price of $0.01 per 150% Warrant share. The second tranche of common stock warrants issued in the Rights Offering (the “200% Warrants”) are not being redeemed at this time.
The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $60 million from its Rights Offering, which was completed in July 2024, and the Company will receive an additional $66 million of gross proceeds, if all of the 150% Warrants and all of the 200% Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) are exercised prior to the Redemption Date.
None of the Company, its board of directors or employees has made or is making any representation or recommendation to any holder of any Warrants as to whether to exercise or refrain from exercising any Warrants.
A registration statement, as amended, relating to the Rights Offering was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective on May 31, 2024. A prospectus relating to the offering was filed with the SEC on and supplemented on June 4, 2024 and is available on the SEC’s website.
The Company will post a copy of the notice of redemption being sent to the holders of the 150% Warrants on its investor relations website at investors.pulsebiosciences.com.
Questions concerning redemption and exercise of the 150% Warrants can be directed to Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, LLC, Attn: BCIS Re-Organization Dept., P.O. Box 1317, Brentwood, NY 11717-0718, telephone number 888-789-8409 or to [email protected].
