Plus Therapeutics Announces Comprehensive Restructuring of $15 Million March 2025 Equity Financing
Comprehensive restructuring eliminates the potential issuance of up to 1.5 billion shares of common stock
Plus Therapeutics files a request to withdraw the related resale registration statement with the SEC
HOUSTON, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: PSTV) (the "Company"), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing targeted radiotherapeutics with advanced platform technologies for central nervous system (CNS) cancers, announces a comprehensive restructuring of its previous $15 million equity financing announced on March 4, 2025. This strategic restructuring eliminates potential dilution of up to 1.5 billion shares of common stock, which the Company believes will significantly enhance shareholder value and position the Company to move forward with a more straightforward equity capital structure.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE EQUITY FINANCING RESTRUCTURING
- Elimination of Dilutive Warrants: The restructuring cancels warrants associated with the equity financing, which could have resulted in the issuance of up to 1.51 billion shares of common stock, leaving approximately 36 million shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of amended Series B Warrants at an alternative cashless exercise ratio of 1:1
- Cancellation of Common Stock and Pre-Funded Warrants (PFWs): The restructuring will lead to the cancellation of approximately 25 million shares of common stock (or PFWs in lieu), further reducing stockholder dilution
- Future Financing Provisions: The Company will use 90% of future proceeds from any capital raised subsequent to July 1, 2025 to repay the holders of 22,727,270 shares of common stock (or PFWs in lieu) at 115% of the price originally paid for such securities in the March 2025 Equity Financing, based on an effective initial price of $0.66 per share
Plus Therapeutics has also filed a request with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to withdraw the resale registration statement related to the March 2025 Equity Financing. The Company would like to thank all parties involved in the transaction for their contribution to completing this fundamental restructuring.
