CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enumeral Biomedical Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:ENUM) (“Enumeral” or the “Company”), a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and advancement of next generation therapeutics in cancer and other diseases, today announced that the Company has received gross proceeds of approximately $3.4 million in connection with the successful completion of Company’s previously announced issuer tender offer (the “Offering”).
“This will help streamline Enumeral’s capitalization structure, reduces the warrant liability recorded on our financial statements, and further enable our long-term growth plans, including pursuing the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange in the future.”
In connection with the Offering, warrant holders elected to amend and exercise 6,863,000 of the warrants subject to the Offering at a reduced exercise price of $0.50 per warrant, providing a total of $3,431,500 in gross proceeds to the Company, before deducting fees, expenses, and warrant agent commissions. Warrant holders who elected to participate in the Offering received four shares of Enumeral common stock for each warrant exercised. The Company also received approval from holders of a majority of the warrants subject to the Offering to amend those warrants in order to remove the price-based anti-dilution provisions contained therein. The Company plans to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund its ongoing operations, and for general working capital purposes. In addition, the Company continues to pursue potential collaboration arrangements with a number of interested parties.
“We are extremely pleased with the broad support we received from our warrant holders to successfully complete this Offering,” said Wael Fayad, Enumeral’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “This Offering is an important step that strengthens our position to continue to deliver on our turnaround plan. We are engaged in discussions with a number of companies regarding potential collaboration arrangements, and we continue to pursue opportunities to advance our internal pipeline of next-generation therapeutics.”
“In addition to providing funds to support Enumeral’s continued operations, the successful completion of this Offering also removes the price-based anti-dilution provisions from the remaining warrants,” Mr. Fayad continued. “This will help streamline Enumeral’s capitalization structure, reduces the warrant liability recorded on our financial statements, and further enable our long-term growth plans, including pursuing the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange in the future.”
“We sincerely appreciate the continued support of our stockholders and other stakeholders, and we look forward to reporting on our progress in the months ahead,” Mr. Fayad concluded.
