Oxygen Biotherapeutics prices $5.37 million public sale of preferreds

By Toni Weeks

San Luis Obispo, Calif., July 22 - Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. priced its public offering of 8% series C convertible preferred stock to raise about $5.37 million, according to a 424B1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The deal was announced on July 17.

The company will sell 5,369 units consisting of one preferred share and one warrant. Each preferred is convertible into 512.82 common shares at $1.95 per share, a 25% discount to the closing share price of $2.60 on July 19.

Each six-year warrant is exercisable for 512.92 shares at an initial exercise price of $2.60, identical to the July 19 closing share price.

The preferreds will accrue dividends for three years at 8% per year, payable quarterly in cash or, if conditions are met, in common stock at 90% of the market price. If the stock is converted into common stock prior to three years after issuance, the holder will receive a make-whole three-year dividend payment at time of conversion.

Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. is the agent.

Settlement is expected July 23.

Proceeds will be used for clinical trials and efforts to obtain regulatory approval for Oxycyte, developing other product candidates, manufacturing Oxycyte, distribution for Dermacyte, research and development and general corporate purposes.

The Morrisville, N.C., company develops biotechnology products with a focus on oxygen delivery to tissue.
