Allarity Therapeutics Announces Reverse Stock Split of Common Stock


- Common Stock Will Begin Trading on a Post-Split Adjusted Basis on June 29, 2023

Press Release

BOSTON, MA (June 28, 2023) – Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALLR) (“Allarity” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing novel oncology therapeutics together with drug-specific DRP® companion diagnostics for personalized cancer care, today announced that it intends to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio of 1 post-split share for every 40 pre-split shares. The reverse stock split will become effective at 4:05 p.m., New York time, on June 28, 2023 (the “Effective Time”). Allarity’s common stock will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ALLR” and will begin trading on a post-split adjusted basis when the market opens on Thursday, June 29, 2023. The CUSIP number for Allarity’s common stock following the reverse stock split will be 016744302.

At a special meeting of stockholders held on June 23, 2023 (the “Special Meeting”), Allarity’s stockholders approved a proposal to amend its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, at the discretion of Allarity’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) with respect to the Allarity’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio between 1-for-15 and 1-for-50 (the “Range”), with the ratio within such Range to be determined at the discretion of the Board, subject to the consent of the holder of Series A Preferred Stock and included in a public announcement. Upon stockholder approval, the Board determined a ratio of 1-for 40 for the reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split is primarily intended to increase the Company’s per share trading price and bring the Company into compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirement regarding minimum share price, as well as to support the Company’s efforts to raise additional capital.

As a result of the reverse stock split, at the Effective Time, every 40 shares of Allarity’s issued and outstanding common stock will be converted automatically into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders holding shares through a brokerage account will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1-for-40 reverse stock split.

The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Allarity’s equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. Any fractional share of a stockholder resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of shares of Allarity’s common stock outstanding from 20,142,633 shares to approximately 503,565 shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of Allarity’s common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of Allarity’s equity awards and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price.

Stockholders whose shares are held in brokerage accounts should direct any questions concerning the reverse stock split to their broker. All stockholders of record may direct questions to Allarity’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. at (866) 641-4276.

About the Drug Response Predictor – DRP® Companion Diagnostic

Allarity uses a drug-specific DRP® companion diagnostic to select those patients who, by the genetic signature of their cancer, are found to have a high likelihood of responding to a specific drug. By screening patients before treatment, and only treating those patients with a sufficiently high DRP® score, Allarity believes that the therapeutic response rate can be significantly increased. The DRP® method builds on the comparison of sensitive versus resistant human cancer cell lines, including transcriptomic information from cell lines combined with clinical tumor biology filters and prior clinical trial outcomes. DRP® is based on messenger RNA from patient biopsies. The DRP® platform has demonstrated its ability to provide a statistically significant prediction of the clinical outcome from drug treatment in cancer patients in 37 out of 47 clinical studies that were examined (both retrospective and prospective), including ongoing, prospective Phase 2 trials of stenoparib and IXEMPRA®. The DRP® platform, which can be used in all cancer types and is patented for more than 70 anticancer drugs, has been extensively published in peer reviewed literature.

About Allarity Therapeutics

Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALLR) develops drugs for personalized treatment of cancer guided by its proprietary and highly validated companion diagnostic technology, the DRP® platform. The Company has a clinical-stage pipeline of three drug candidates: stenoparib, a PARP inhibitor in Phase 2 development for ovarian cancer, and in Phase 1 development for advanced solid tumors in a combination treatment with dovitinib, a pan-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (pan-TKI) that has previously been developed through Phase 3 in renal cancer; and IXEMPRA® (Ixabepilone), a microtubule inhibitor approved in the U.S. and marketed by R-PHARM U.S. for the treatment of second-line metastatic breast cancer, currently in Phase 2 development in Europe for the same indication. Additionally, the Company has rights in two secondary assets: 2X-111, a liposomal formulation of doxorubicin for metastatic breast cancer and/or glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), which is the subject of discussions for a restructured out-license to Smerud Medical Research International AS; and LiPlaCis®, a liposomal formulation of cisplatin and its accompanying DRP®, being developed via a partnership with CHOSA Oncology AB for late-stage metastatic breast cancer. The Company is headquartered in the United States and maintains an R&D facility in Hoersholm, Denmark. For more information, please visit the Company’s website at www.Allarity.com.
