On October 25, 2024, Tiziana Life Sciences Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an Open Market Sale Agreement℠ (the “ATM Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), as sales agent. Pursuant to the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Company may issue and sell from time to time its common shares, par value $0.001 per share, through Jefferies, acting as its sales agent.

Under the ATM Agreement, Shares will be offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-252441) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 26, 2021, declared effective by the SEC on March 3, 2022. In addition, under the ATM Agreement, sales of Shares may be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Company will pay Jefferies a commission rate of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from each sale of Shares and has agreed to provide Jefferies with customary indemnification and contribution rights.

The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares under the ATM Agreement and may at any time suspend the offering of its common shares upon notice and subject to other conditions.
The ATM Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and agreements by the Company, other obligations of the parties and termination provisions.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of any Shares sold under the ATM Agreement (i) to complete its Phase 2a clinical trial for the intra-nasal delivery of foralumab in patients with non-active secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, (ii) to expedite the clinical development of foralumab in Alzheimer’s disease, (iii) to develop foralumab for other indications, and (iv) for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
