The Company expects to receive approximately $4,500,000 in net proceeds from the Offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The shares are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-265995) which was declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 15, 2022, the base prospectus included therein, as amended and supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated July 17, 2023. The Offering is expected to close on or about July 20, 2023, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund the continued development of Multikine and for general corporate purposes.

 

The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriters, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and termination and other provisions customary for transactions of this nature.

 

The above description of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the Underwriting Agreement which is attached to this report as Exhibit 1.1.
