Vivos Therapeutics Announces Exercise of Warrants for Approximately $4.0 Million Aggregate Gross Proceeds
February 15 2024 - 8:00AM
Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. (“Vivos” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: VVOS),
a leading medical device and technology company specializing in the
development and commercialization of highly effective proprietary
treatments for sleep related breathing disorders (including all
severities of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA)), today announced that
it has entered into a definitive agreement for the immediate
exercise of an outstanding common stock purchase warrant held by an
institutional investor to purchase an aggregate of 980,393 shares
of Vivos common stock for gross proceeds to the Company of
approximately $4.0 million.
As part of this transaction, the investor agreed
to exercise the existing warrant (which was originally issued in
November 2023 and had an exercise price of $3.83 per share) at a
revised exercise price of $4.02 per share. The resale of the shares
of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant were
registered pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form
S-1 (No. 333-275726).
In consideration for the immediate exercise of
the existing warrant for cash, Vivos has agreed to issue to the
investor two new unregistered warrants, each to purchase 735,296
shares of common stock (or an aggregate of 1,470,592 shares) at an
exercise price of $5.05 per share. The new warrants will be
exercisable immediately upon issuance. Such warrants are identical,
except that one warrant has a term of five years and the second
warrant has a term of eighteen months.
A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners is acting as the
exclusive financial advisor in connection with the offering.
The transaction is expected to close no later
than February 20, 2024, subject to satisfaction of customary
closing conditions. Vivos intends to use the net proceeds from the
exercise for general corporate purposes.
The new warrants described above were offered in
a private placement pursuant to an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), and, along with the shares of common stock
issuable upon their exercise, have not been registered under the
Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, and may not be
offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an
effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such
applicable state securities laws. The Company has agreed to file a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) covering the resale of the shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the new warrants.
This press release shall not constitute an offer
to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor
shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or
jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be
unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the
securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
