DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpius Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: SCPX), (“Scorpius”, or the “Company”), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), today announced the new pricing of an underwritten public offering of 12,500,000 shares of common stock (or pre-funded warrants (“Pre-Funded Warrants”) in lieu thereof). Each share of common stock (or Pre-Funded Warrant) is being offered at a public offering price of $1.00 per share (inclusive of the Pre-Funded Warrant exercise price). The gross proceeds to the Company from the offering are expected to be approximately $12,500,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses. In addition, the Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,875,000 shares of common stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants solely to cover over-allotments, if any. As previously announced, the Company had terminated the pricing of its underwritten public offering that it had announced on August 6, 2024. Subsequently, the Company requested, and the NYSE American approved, a financial viability exception to the NYSE American stockholder approval rules that would allow the Company to proceed with the closing of the underwritten public offering upon the terms set forth above.
The offering is expected to close on August 19, 2024, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions and trading of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American is expected to resume that same day.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes.
ThinkEquity is acting as sole book-running manager for the offering.
