BIOLASE, Inc. Announces Closing of $6.9 Million Registered Direct Offering Priced At-The-Market
IRVINE, Calif., June 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL), the global leader in dental lasers, today announced the closing on June 10, 2020 of its previously announced registered direct offering of approximately $6.9 million of its common stock in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules and warrants to purchase common stock in a concurrent private placement. The combined purchase price for one share of common stock and warrant to purchase one share of common stock was $0.64. BIOLASE intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and for other general corporate purposes.
Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, BIOLASE sold 10,800,000 shares of common stock. In a private placement, which was consummated concurrently with the offering, BIOLASE issued warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 10,800,000 shares of common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable, will expire 5 years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $0.515 per common share.
Maxim Group LLC, The Benchmark Company, LLC and Colliers Securities LLC acted as co-placement agents for the offering.
The shares of common stock were offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-233172) previously declared effective by the SEC on August 23, 2019. The offering of the shares of common stock was made by means of a prospectus supplement that was filed with the SEC and forms a part of the registration statement.
BIOLASE intends to move forward with a proposed rights offering in the next few weeks. BIOLASE believes that the capital raised in this registered direct offering bolsters its balance sheet and will enable it to approach the proposed rights offering from an enhanced liquidity and capitalization position. BIOLASE previously filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-238914) with respect to the proposed rights offering with the SEC.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of BIOLASE pursuant to the proposed rights offering or otherwise. The proposed rights offering will be made only by means of an effective registration statement. There can be no assurance that BIOLASE will complete the proposed rights offering.
