Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On August 7, 2025, BioVie Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC, as the sole underwriter (the “Underwriter”), in connection with the issuance and sale (the “Offering”) of 5,620,000 units (the “Units”) and 380,000 pre-funded units (the “Pre-Funded Units”), resulting in net proceeds of approximately $10.4 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses. The Underwriter also exercised the Over-Allotment Option (as defined below) in part and purchased 667,300 Warrants (as defined below) for nominal additional gross proceeds of approximately $667.
Each Unit consisted of (i) one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Common Stock”), of the Company and (ii) one warrant (the “Warrants”). Each Pre-Funded Unit consisted of (i) one pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) and (ii) one Warrant. Each Unit was sold to the public at a price of $2.00 per Unit and each Pre-Funded Unit was sold to the public at a price of $1.999 per Pre-Funded Unit (which represents the public offering price of each Unit less the $0.0001 per share nominal exercise price for each Pre-Funded Warrant). The Units; the Pre-Funded Units; the shares of Common Stock comprising the Units; the Warrants; the Pre-Funded Warrants; the shares of Common Stock, the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Over-Allotment Option; and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrants are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”
On August 8, 2025, the Warrants commenced trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BIVIW.” Each Warrant is immediately exercisable, entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and expires five years from the date of issuance. Each Pre-Funded Warrant is immediately exercisable, entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock and may be exercised at any time until exercised in full. The Common Stock and accompanying Warrants included in each Unit were issued separately, and the Pre-Funded Warrants and the accompanying Warrants included in each Pre-Funded Unit were issued separately.
The Offering closed on August 11, 2025 (the “Closing Date”). The Company intends to use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriter an option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 shares of Common Stock and/or Pre-Funded Warrants and/or Warrants, or any combination thereof, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions (the “Over-Allotment Option”). The Underwriter may exercise the Over-Allotment Option one or more times in whole or in part for forty-five (45) days from the Closing Date.
In connection with the Offering, the Company issued to the Underwriter warrants (the “Underwriter’s Warrants”) to purchase 300,000 shares of Common Stock. The Underwriter’s Warrants have an exercise price of $2.50 per share. The Underwriter’s Warrants are immediately exercisable, in whole or in part, and expire on the four- and one-half year anniversary of the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement. The Underwriter’s Warrants provide for registration rights (including a one-time demand registration right and unlimited piggyback rights) and customary anti-dilution provisions.
On the Closing Date, the Company also entered into a warrant agent agreement (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”) with West Coast Stock Transfer, Inc., as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agent”). The Warrant Agent Agreement sets forth certain terms and conditions with respect to the Warrant Agent’s service as warrant agent for the Warrants.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed, for a period of three (3) months from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, subject to customary exceptions and without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, not to (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; (ii) file or cause to be filed any registration statement with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of the Company; (iii) complete any offering of debt securities of the Company or (iv) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of capital stock of the Company. Moreover, the Company’s executive officers and directors entered into lock-up agreements, pursuant to which they agreed, for a period of three (3) months from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, subject to customary exceptions and without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, not to sell or transfer any securities of the Company that they hold.
The Securities were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-288525), filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act, and declared effective on August 7, 2025.
