Provectus Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its Subsidiaries Complete Unregistered Offering of Units to Facilitate Spin-off of Pure-ific Corporation

KNOXVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: PVCT, http://www.pvct.com), a development-stage oncology and dermatology biopharmaceutical company, announced today that it and its five wholly owned subsidiaries, Pure-ific Corporation, Provectus Biotech, Inc., Provectus Devicetech, Inc., Provectus Imaging, Inc., and Xantech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Subsidiaries”), have completed an unregistered offering of Units pursuant to the exemption from registration requirements under Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), with each Unit consisting of (i) the right to receive one share of common stock of up to all five Subsidiaries, and (ii) a warrant to purchase three-fourths (3/4) of one share of the Company’s common stock. This offering relates to the Company’s previously announced plan to spin-off its five non-core subsidiaries.

The Offering raised sufficient funds to facilitate the spin-off of one wholly owned subsidiary, Pure-ific Corporation, a Nevada corporation.

The Units offered will not be or have not been registered under the Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act. Offers to purchase the Units are only being solicited from and sales of Units will be made only to “accredited investors,” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Act.

The Company intends this notice to comply with Rule 135c of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and accordingly, this notice is not intended to and does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale.
