Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 28, 2025, Revelation Biosciences, Inc., (the “Company”), entered into a placement agency agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) and a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers for the purchase and sale, in a registered public offering by the Company (the “Public Offering”), of (i) 675,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and pre-funded warrants to purchase 2,965,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) and (ii) accompanying warrants to purchase up to 14,560,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Class H Common Stock Warrants”) at a combined offering price of $1.10 per share of Common Stock and associated Class H Common Stock Warrants, or $1.09 per Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Class H Common Stock Warrants, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $4.0 million. The Public Offering closed on May 29, 2025. Subsequent to the closing all Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised.

The Class H Common Stock Warrants have an exercise price of $1.10 per share, are exercisable upon issuance, and will expire five years following the date of issuance. The exercise price is separately subject to reduction in the event of certain future dilutive issuances of shares of Common Stock by the Company, including pursuant to common stock equivalents and convertible or derivative securities, or in the event of a reverse stock split. The Pre-Funded Warrants do not expire and have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants were sold to purchasers whose purchase of shares of Common Stock in the Public Offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Public Offering, in lieu of shares of Common Stock.

Each of the Placement Agency Agreement and Purchase Agreement contained representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company that are customary for transactions of this type. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company and its executive officers and directors have agreed not to, subject to limited exceptions, offer, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Company’s securities for a period of 90 days following the date of closing for the Public Offering set forth above.

On May 28, 2025, the Company also entered into a warrant agency agreement (the “Warrant Agency Agreement”) with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co., which acts as warrant agent for the Company, setting forth the terms and conditions of the Class H Common Stock Warrants.

As compensation in connection with the Public Offering, the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of 8% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Public Offering, plus reimbursement of certain expenses and legal fees.

The Common Stock, Pre-Funded Warrants and Class H Common Stock Warrants described above were offered pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-287423), as amended, that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 28, 2025.

The foregoing descriptions of the Placement Agency Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant Agency Agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Class H Common Stock Warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified by, the full text of such documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein. The Placement Agency Agreement and Purchase Agreement are attached hereto as exhibits to provide interested persons with information regarding their terms, but are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Placement Agency Agreement and Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreements as of specific dates indicated therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties thereto, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures exchanged between the parties in connection with the execution of such agreements.
