BioNexus Gene Lab Corp. Files $100 Million Shelf Registration and Establishes $20 Million At-the-Market Program to Advance Strategic Growth Opportunities

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioNexus Gene Lab Corp. (NASDAQ:BGLC) ("BioNexus" or the "Company"), a biotechnology company advancing precision diagnostics and gene-based technologies across Asia and the U.S., today announced that it has filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") to register up to $100 million of securities that may be offered from time to time.



Under this shelf, the Company has entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Maxim Group LLC, pursuant to which it may, subject to the effectiveness of the registration statement, offer and sell up to $20 million of its common stock through an at-the-market ("ATM") program.

The Company believes that the shelf registration and ATM facility provide BioNexus with financial flexibility and position the Company to continue progressing toward near-term growth initiatives, including those reflected in its recently announced executed term sheets with Fidelion Diagnostics Pte Ltd. (VitaGuard MRD) and BirchBioMed Inc. The Company believes that these initiatives align with BioNexus' strategy to expand its footprint in precision oncology, regenerative medicine, and contract biologics manufacturing through its subsidiaries MRNA Scientific Sdn. Bhd. and Chemrex Corporation Sdn. Bhd.

"Our recently filed $100 million shelf and $20 million ATM program provide the structural capital readiness to support execution as our growth and operating initiatives progress toward key milestones," said Sam Tan, Chief Executive Officer of BioNexus Gene Lab Corp. "This combination of strategic partnerships and capital flexibility positions BioNexus to accelerate its transformation into a next-generation biotechnology platform serving both Asian and U.S. markets."

Zarif Law Group P.C., led by Morris C. Zarif, Esq., Managing Partner, served as legal counsel to the Company and Pryor Cashman LLP served as legal counsel to Maxim Group LLC in connection with the transaction.

A registration statement relating to these securities has been filed with the SEC but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to effectiveness. The proposed offerings will be made only by means of a prospectus when, and if, available. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
