Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

Private Placement Closing

 

On December 31, 2024, OS Therapies Incorporated, an ADC and immunotherapy research and clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), completed the closing of the private placement (the “Private Placement”) previously reported by the Company in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 30, 2024, which is incorporated herein by reference. As previously reported, in connection with the Private Placement, on December 24, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), with certain institutional and accredited investors (collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Investors immediately separable units (the “Units”), with each Unit being comprised of (i) one share of the Company’s Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), and (ii) a warrant to purchase one share of common stock (each a “Warrant”, and such shares, the “Warrant Shares”), at a price per Unit of $4.00, for aggregate gross proceeds of not less than $6 million and not more than $10 million.

 

At the closing of the Private Placement, the Company sold to the Investors an aggregate of 1,512,500 Units, comprised of an aggregate of (i) 1,512,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) Warrants to purchase 1,512,500 shares of common stock. The gross proceeds to us from the closing, before deducting transaction fees and other estimated Private Placement expenses, are approximately $6,050,000.

 

The Purchase Agreement restricts us from issuing additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock during the period beginning from the closing until the later of (x) six months from the closing and (y) the date Stockholder Approval is obtained and deemed effective, and restricts us from entering into variable rate transactions at any time the Investors hold Warrants, subject to certain exceptions.

 

The Certificate of Designation, Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”), filed by the Company on December 27, 2024 with the Secretary of State of Delaware in accordance with Section 151(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, sets forth the rights, preferences and limitations of the Series A Preferred Stock, which include, without limitation, (a) the right of the holder to convert such shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock, with mandatory conversion upon (i) a qualified firm commitment underwritten public offering of common stock raising gross proceeds in excess of $10.0 million, with a per share price not less than $12.00, (ii) a qualified PIPE financing raising gross proceeds in excess of $20.0 million, with a per share price not less than $12.00, (iii) upon a closing of a third-party acquisition where all outstanding shares of common stock (including the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the mandatory conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) are purchased or exchanged by an unaffiliated third party and in which the consideration paid to all holders of outstanding shares of common stock for such purchase or exchange consists solely of cash at a purchase price per share of common stock not less than $12.00, or (iv) such time as the daily VWAP for the common stock is greater than 300% of the then applicable conversion price for a period of 20 consecutive trading days with minimum average daily trading volume of $2.0 million, (b) a liquidation preference of 150% of the original issue price, (c) the right to one vote per share and vote together with the common stock on an as-converted basis (subject to a voting price floor equal to the closing price of the common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the execution of the Purchase Agreement), except that holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote as a separate class with respect to certain specified matters, and (d) such other terms and provisions as are set forth in the Certificate of Designation.

OS Therapies Announces Closing of $6 Million Private Placement

 

Funding expected to provide cash runway into 2026

 

98% of investment in private placement from Pre-IPO and/or IPO investors

 

Data update from OST-HER2 Phase 2b clinical trial in recurrent, resected metastatic osteosarcoma to be announced during week of JP Morgan Healthcare Conference 2025

 

Company remains eligible to be awarded Priority Review Voucher (PRV) by US FDA as a result of receiving rare pediatric designation for OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma in 2021

 

NEW YORK, NY, December 31, 2024 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- OS Therapies, Inc. (NYSE-A: OSTX) (“OS Therapies” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage cancer immunotherapy and antibody drug conjugate biotechnology company, today announced the closing of a private placement financing, raising approximately $6 million in gross proceeds for the Company, before deducting offering-related expenses. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the private placement for working capital, primarily focused on the clinical and regulatory milestones to support commercialization of the Company’s lead therapeutic candidate OST-HER2 in the recurrent, resected metastatic osteosarcoma in the United States in 2025, and for general corporate purposes. The US FDA has granted OST-HER2 rare pediatric disease, fast track and orphan drug designations for osteosarcoma.

 

“The Company expects the capital raised in this financing to allow it to operate into 2026, by which time the Company believes it will have delivered the necessary clinical data and other Biologics License Authorization-enabling requirements to be granted authorization by the US Food & Drug Administration to begin commercialization of OST-HER2 for the prevention of recurrent, resected metastatic osteosarcoma in the United States,” said Paul Romness, MHP, Chairman & CEO of OS Therapies. “If we are successful in achieving this mission, not only will we change the lives of families afflicted by this devastating childhood cancer, the Company would also be granted a priority review voucher (PRV), currently valued at approximately $150 million, that would further capitalize the Company to allow it expand the clinical development of OST-HER2 into other HER2 positive cancers such as breast cancer and/or colorectal cancer.”

 

The US FDA granted OST-HER2 rare pediatric disease designation for osteosarcoma in 2021. The US FDA rare pediatric disease PRV program aims to incentivize drug development for rare pediatric diseases. Under this voucher program, a sponsor who receives an approval for a drug or biological product for a rare pediatric disease qualifies for a voucher that can be redeemed to receive priority review for a different product. The sponsor may also transfer or sell the voucher to another sponsor. OS Therapies intends to sell the PRV it would earn upon receiving approval of OST-HER2 for recurrent, resected metastatic osteosarcoma. The most recent publicly disclosed sale price of a PRV was on November 27th, 2024 when PTC Therapeutics announced selling its PRV to Kebilidi for $150M. With emerging scarcity in the PRV market, the Company expects the value of PRVs to increase going forward. The maximum sale price of a PRV was in 2015 when AbbVie bought a priority review voucher from United Therapeutics for $350 million.

 

The most recent continuing resolution (CR) negotiations in the US House of Representatives failed to reauthorize the PRV program for pediatric cancers such as osteosarcoma. Despite this, as a result of OS Therapies’ having been granted OST-HER2’s rare pediatric disease designation prior to December 20, 2024 in addition to the Company’s aim to receive an approval for OST-HER2 in the rare pediatric disease osteosarcoma in 2025, prior to the September 30, 2026 deadline, OS Therapies remains eligible to receive the PRV upon approval of OST-HER2 in recurrent, resected metastatic osteosarcoma.

 

The Company sold 1.5 million units at a price of $4.00 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of Series A Senior Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) convertible into one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The conversion price of the Preferred Stock into shares of common stock is $4.00 and the exercise price of the warrants is $4.40 per share.

 

Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC, served as placement agent and Ceros Financial Services, Inc. was engaged as a selected dealer to the placement agent.

 

 

 

 

The securities sold in the private placement, as well as the common stock into which the securities are convertible or exercisable into, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any 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. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC”) registering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the securities issued in this private placement (the “Resale Shares”).

 

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities being offered in any state or other 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. Any offering of the Resale Shares under the resale registration statement will only be made by means of a prospectus.
