| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On February 19, 2026, TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC (“LSCM”), as representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to the public offering (the “Offering”) of 9,756,100 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $4.10 per Share (the “Offering Price”). Pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,463,415 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares” and together with the Shares, the “Securities”) to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Offering Price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has agreed to (i) give the Underwriters a discount of 6.0% per Share in the Offering, and (ii) reimburse LSCM for certain of their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Offering, including, among other things, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which fees and expenses may not exceed $125,000.
The Securities will be issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-291509) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on November 13, 2025 and declared effective by the Commission on December 4, 2025 and a related prospectus supplement dated February 19, 2026 (the “Prospectus Supplement”). The Offering is expected to close on or about February 23, 2026, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions (the “Closing Date”).
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company has agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Company’s securities for a period ending 90 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of LSCM. In addition, the Company’s officers, directors and a certain securityholder of the Company have agreed not to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Company’s securities held by them for a period ending 90 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement without first obtaining the written consent of LSCM, subject to certain exceptions.
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Shares in the Offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, are expected to be approximately $37.0 million assuming no exercise by the Underwriters of their over-allotment option for the Option Shares, or approximately $42.64 million if the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment option for the Option Shares in full. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes which may include capital expenditures, working capital and general and administrative expenses.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions. The Underwriting Agreement provides for indemnification by the Underwriters of the Company, its directors and officers, and by the Company of the Underwriters, for certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and affords certain rights of contribution with respect thereto.
The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement, is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.
