Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 5, 2024, VolitionRx Limited, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the several purchasers set forth on the signature pages thereto, which provides for the issuance and sale, in a registered direct offering by the Company (the “Offering”), of (i) 445,648 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (its “common stock”), to certain of the Company’s directors and executive officers (the “Insiders”) at an offering price of $0.5722 per share (the “Insider Shares”), and (ii) 2,857,389 shares of common stock (the “Warrant Investor Shares” and, together with the Insider Shares, the “Shares”), together with common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 2,857,389 shares of common stock (the “Form A Warrants”) and common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to 1,428,693 shares of common stock (the “Form B Warrants” and, together with the Form A Warrants, the “Warrants”), at a combined offering price of $0.5722 per Warrant Investor Share and accompanying Warrants, to certain existing stockholders of the Company and new investors. Each Form A Warrant has an exercise price per share of $0.5722 and each Form B Warrant has an exercise price per share of $0.71525. Each Warrant is exercisable on or after December 9, 2024 through and until December 9, 2029. The Insiders did not receive any Warrants in the offering. The Shares, the Warrants, and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, if any, issued in this offering are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities.”
The Securities sold in the Offering were offered and sold directly by the Company to the investors in the Offering without a placement agent and pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 originally filed on September 24, 2021, as amended (including the prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (File No. 333-259783), and declared effective by the SEC on November 8, 2021. The Company filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC on December 9, 2024 in connection with the Offering.
The foregoing descriptions of the Warrants and the Purchase Agreement are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Form A Warrant, the form of Form B Warrant, and the form of Purchase Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference.
The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $1.9 million, before deducting expenses payable by the Company. The Company anticipates using the net proceeds from the Offering for research and continued product development, clinical studies, product commercialization, working capital, and other general corporate purposes.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, agreements and obligations, conditions to closing and termination provisions. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made solely for the benefit of the parties thereto. In addition, such representations, warranties and covenants (i) are intended as a way of allocating the risk between the parties to the Purchase Agreement and not as statements of fact, and (ii) may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be viewed as material by shareholders of, or other investors in, the Company. Accordingly, the form of Purchase Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the transactions. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 6, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the pricing of the Offering. A copy of such press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
