AntriaBio Announces $7 Million Private Placement
LOUISVILLE, CO – January 5, 2015 – AntriaBio, Inc. (“Company”) (OTCQB: ANTB), a biopharmaceutical corporation focused on developing novel extended release therapies, announced today that it has successfully raised approximately $7 million in a private placement transaction. At $1.85 per unit, institutions and accredited investors were issued one share of common stock and one warrant exercisable for three years at $2.50 for one share of common stock. Notably, the Company was successful in raising over $18 million through equity financings in 2014.
AntriaBio will use the proceeds from its most recent financing for general corporate purposes including the production of cGMP material and initiation of Phase 1 clinical studies for AB101, a basal insulin with potential for once-weekly dosing for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
Nevan Elam, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “Our fundraising efforts in 2014 were instrumental in advancing our clinical program for AB101. The confidence that our investors have shown in us is a testament to our extended release platform and the potential of AB101 to transform the $10 billion basal insulin market.”
The securities sold in the financing have not been registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act"), and may not be offered or sold in the US absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. As part of the financing, the Company has agreed to file a resale registration statement on Form S-1 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days of the closing of the financing for purposes of registering the resale of the shares of common stock issued or issuable in connection with the financing.
This press release is being issued pursuant to Rule 135c under the Securities Act and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state. Any offering of the securities under the resale registration statement will only be by means of a prospectus.
