PharmaCyte Biotech Announces Final Results of Tender Offer

PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. (Nasdaq: PMCB) (“PharmaCyte” or the “Company”) today announces the final results of its previously announced tender offer to acquire up to 7,750,000 million shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $3.25 per share in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest. The tender offer expired one minute after 11:59 p.m. on June 9, 2023, and was funded entirely through the Company’s cash on hand.

PharmaCyte CEO Josh Silverman commented, “Having completed the tender offer, we believe we are in a stronger position to optimize shareholder value. Our significant cash position of approximately $74 million following the tender offer, combined with very limited cash burn, allows us to continue to carefully evaluate potential acquisition targets that would provide shareholder value while we assess our current assets, which are intended to address a highly unmet medical need in pancreatic cancer. We look forward to providing additional updates as developments warrant.”

Based on the final count by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the depositary for the tender offer (the “Depositary”), 9,741,919 shares of PharmaCyte’s common stock were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn at a purchase price of $3.25 per share.

In accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer, based on the final count, PharmaCyte has accepted for purchase 8,085,879 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $3.25 per share, for an aggregate cost of $26,279,106.75, excluding fees, any excise taxes and expenses relating to the tender offer. Included in the 8,085,879 shares that the Company accepted for purchase are 335,879 shares that the Company elected to purchase pursuant to its right to purchase up to an additional 2% of its outstanding shares. The number of shares that PharmaCyte has accepted for purchase in the tender offer represents approximately 48% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding as of April 30, 2023. PharmaCyte had 8,708,101 shares of common stock outstanding following payment for the shares of common stock purchased in the tender offer.
