AntriaBio Announces $12 Million Private Placement
LOUISVILLE, CO – June 29, 2016 – AntriaBio, Inc. (“AntriaBio” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: ANTB), a biopharmaceutical corporation focused on developing novel extended release therapies, announced today that it has successfully raised approximately $12 million this year in a private placement transaction (the “Transaction”). Accredited investors and institutions paid $1.10 for one share of common stock and received warrants exercisable for five years at $1.65 for one share of common stock. The Transaction was led by pH Pharma, an affiliate of SBI Investment Korea (“SBI”), Korea’s first venture capital firm, which was spun out of SoftBank.
Since its inception in 2013, AntriaBio has successfully raised approximately $35 million through equity financings. AntriaBio will use the proceeds from the Transaction for general corporate purposes including preparation for Phase 1 clinical studies for AB101, an injectable once-weekly basal insulin for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
“SBI’s focus on biotechnology as a next-generation growth area is supported by our interest in AntriaBio,” stated Seok-Won Yoon, Division Manager of Healthcare Venture Investments at SBI. “We believe AntriaBio’s compelling once-weekly basal insulin product with its sophisticated microsphere technology has the potential to significantly disrupt the $11 billion global basal insulin market.”
“We appreciate the continued support of our existing shareholders and welcome the new investors to the Company,” stated Nevan Elam, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AntriaBio. “The additional capital provides us with resources to further our development of AB101, as well as to advance other potential long-acting product candidates in our pipeline.”
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.
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.
