LAS VEGAS, Aug. 22, 2023 — JanOne (Nasdaq: JAN) (the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company specializing in developing non-addicting pain killers and treatments for underlying causes of pain, today announced that it has closed its previously announced registered direct offering for the purchase and sale of 899,348 shares of the Company’s common stock (or prefunded warrants in lieu thereof) at a purchase price of $0.8811 per share of common stock (or prefunded warrant) in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules. In addition, in a concurrent private placement, the Company issued unregistered warrants to purchase 899,348 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.7561 per share. The warrants are exercisable immediately and have a term of exercise equal to five years.
H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the offerings were approximately $790,000, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offerings for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The shares of common stock, prefunded warrants and shares of common stock underlying the prefunded warrants described above (but not the warrants issued in the concurrent private placement or the shares of common stock underlying the warrants) were offered by the Company pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-251645) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and declared effective by the SEC on December 29, 2020. The offering of the shares of common stock and prefunded warrants was made only by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of the effective registration statement. A final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus relating to the registered direct offering will be filed with the SEC. Electronic copies of the final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus may be obtained on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or by contacting H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC at 430 Park Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10022, by phone at (212) 865-5711 or e-mail at [email protected].
The warrants described above were issued in a concurrent private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the warrants and underlying shares of common stock 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.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities 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 other jurisdiction.
