Lake Street is pleased to announce that it served as co-placement agent for Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (Nasdaq: QNRX) in its private placement to raise up to an approximate $50.0 million in gross proceeds, including initial upfront funding of approximately $30.8 million and up to an additional approximately $19.2 million upon the potential cash exercise of accompanying ordinary warrants at the election of the investors.
Pursuant to the terms of the securities purchase agreement, Quoin will issue an aggregate of 6,305,300 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) and accompanying ordinary warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,152,650 ADSs, as described below, at a combined purchase price of $4.88 per ADS and accompanying ordinary warrant, in accordance with the "Minimum Price" requirement as defined in the Nasdaq rules.
The accompanying ordinary warrants will have an exercise price of $6.10 per ADS for an aggregate exercise price of up to approximately $19.2 million. The accompanying ordinary warrants will be immediately exercisable and will expire on the earlier of (i) five years from the closing date of the private placement or (ii) 30 days after the Company's public announcement that the primary endpoint has been met in the Company's clinical trial CL-QRX003-004, evaluating QRX003 for the treatment of Netherton Syndrome.
Quoin intends to use the upfront net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include operating expenses, research and development, including completion of clinical development of QRX003 for Netherton Syndrome, working capital, future acquisitions and general capital expenditures. The aggregate net proceeds (assuming the cash exercise of all accompanying warrants) are expected to be sufficient to fund the Company into the second half of 2029.
