Rights holders will need to exercise their subscription rights prior to that date and time.
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 15, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cytori Therapeutics, Inc., Inc. (Nasdaq:CYTX) provides a reminder to stockholders that its previously announced rights offering will remain open until 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 21, 2017. Rights holders will need to exercise their subscription rights prior to that date and time.
The unit pricing remains $1,000 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of Series B Preferred Stock with a face value of $1000 (and immediately convertible into common stock at a conversion price of $0.3333) and warrants with an exercise price of $0.3333. As an illustration, an investor wishing to invest $10,000 into the rights offering would subscribe to 10 rights (10 x $1,000 = $10,000). Upon conversion to common shares ($0.3333 conversion price) the investor would receive 30,000 common shares along with 18,000 warrants (exercisable at $0.3333). The warrants will be exercisable upon stockholder approval to increase our authorized shares of common stock.
If exercising subscription rights through a broker, dealer, bank or other nominee, rights holders should promptly contact their nominee and submit subscription documents and payment for the units subscribed for in accordance with the instructions and within the time period provided by such nominee. The broker, dealer, bank or other nominee may establish a deadline before November 21, 2017, by which instructions to exercise subscription rights, along with the required subscription payment, must be received.
All record holders of rights certificates that wish to participate in the rights offering must deliver a properly completed and signed rights certificate, together with payment of the subscription price for both basic subscription rights and any oversubscription privilege election, to the Subscription Agent, to be received before 5:00 PM Eastern Time on November 21, 2017.

Under the rights offering, Cytori has distributed one non-transferable subscription right for each share of common stock held on the previously announced record date of October 27, 2017. Each right entitles the holder to purchase one unit consisting of one share of a Series B Preferred Stock and 1,800 Warrants. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into 3,000 shares of common stock. Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.3333 per share for 30 months from the date of issuance. Cytori has applied to list the warrants on Nasdaq, although there is no assurance that a sufficient number of subscription rights will be exercised so that the warrants will meet the minimum listing criteria to be accepted for listing on Nasdaq under the symbol “CYTXS.” The warrants may be redeemed by Cytori prior to their expiration if Cytori’s common stock closes above $0.83325 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. The subscription rights are non-transferrable and may only be exercised during the anticipated subscription period and through 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 21, 2017, unless extended. A registration statement relating to these securities has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Holders who fully exercise their basic subscription rights will be entitled, if available, to subscribe for an additional amount of units that are not purchased by other stockholders, on a pro rata basis and subject to ownership limitations.
Cytori has engaged Maxim Group LLC as dealer-manager for the rights offering.
