INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K
Pricing of Registered Direct Offering
On October 30, 2024, Tiziana Life Sciences Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with an institutional investor to purchase an aggregate of 5,263,158 of the Company’s common shares, par value $0.001 per share, at a purchase price of $0.95 per share in a registered direct offering (the “Registered Direct Offering”). The initial total gross proceeds to the Company from the Registered Direct Offering will total approximately $5 million. The Company also granted such investor the option to acquire up to an additional 5,263,158 common shares at the same price per share at one or more additional closing dates during the seventy-five day period following the date of the Purchase Agreement. The initial closing date regarding the sale of the common shares is expected to occur on or about November 1, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed not to issue, enter into any agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of any common shares or common share equivalents, or file any registration statement or any amendment or supplement thereto, for a period of 75 days following the initial closing of the Registered Direct Offering, subject to certain customary exceptions.
The Company also entered into an agreement, (the “Placement Agency Agreement”), with Titan Partners Group LLC, a division of American Capital Partners, LLC, as sole placement agent (the “Placement Agent”), dated October 30, 2024, pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the Placement Agent for the Company in connection with the Registered Direct Offering. The Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee of 7.5% of the aggregate purchase price for the securities sold in the Registered Direct Offering and to issue the Placement Agent (or its designees) three year warrants representing 3% of the securities sold in the Registered Direct Offering. In addition, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price for the securities sold in the Registered Direct Offering and to reimburse the placement agent for certain of their expenses.
The common shares to be issued in the Registered Direct Offering and the securities to be issued to the Placement Agent will be issued pursuant to a prospectus supplement, which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), in connection with a takedown from the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-252441).
The Company’s press release containing additional details of the Registered Direct Offering is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto. Copies of the form of Purchase Agreement and the Placement Agency Agreement are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Report on Form 6-K and are incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing summaries of such documents are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, such exhibits. A copy of the opinion of Conyers Dill & Pearman Limited relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the common shares is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.
This Report on Form 6-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of common shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This Report on Form 6-K, including each exhibit hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference into the registration statement on Form F-3 (No. 333-252441) of the Company.
