PULSE BIOSCIENCES, INC. ANNOUNCES PLANNED REDEMPTION OF WARRANTS

 

HAYWARD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—May 10, 2023—Pulse Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLSE), a company leveraging its novel and proprietary nanosecond pulsed field ablation (nsPFA™) technology for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, today announced that it intends to deliver an irrevocable notice of redemption, on or about May 15, 2023, to redeem all of the common stock warrants that were issued as part of its June 9, 2022 rights offering which are still outstanding as of June 16, 2023 (the “Redemption Date”). These outstanding common stock warrants (the “Warrants”), which were issued pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-246346), may be exercised by the holders thereof until 6:30 p.m., Eastern time, on the Redemption Date, at the exercise price of $2.05 per share of Company common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”). Any Warrants not exercised before 6:30 p.m., Eastern time, on June 16, 2023, will be redeemed by the Company for $0.01 per Warrant (the “Redemption Price”).

 

Under the terms of the Warrants, the Company has the right to redeem all of the outstanding Warrants if the VWAP (as defined in the Warrants) exceeds $4.10 per share for twenty (20) consecutive trading days at least three months after the date that the Warrants were issued. This requirement was met for each of the twenty consecutive trading days preceding May 9, 2023. Over this period, the Company had an average last reported sale price of $6.77.

 

Any 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 Warrants will be entitled to receive only the Redemption Price of $0.01 per Warrant.

 

The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of $15 million from its rights offering, which was completed in June 2022, and the Company will receive an additional $15 million of gross proceeds, if all 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 the 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 August 21, 2020. A prospectus relating to the offering was filed with the SEC on May 4, 2022 and supplemented on May 19, 2022 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 Warrants on its investor relations website at investors.pulsebiosciences.com.
