Therapix Biosciences Raises $2.6 Million in Private Placement

TEL-AVIV, Israel, June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Therapix Biosciences Ltd. ("Therapix" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: TRPX), a specialty, clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of cannabinoid-based treatments, today announced that it has entered into definitive agreements with several accredited and institutional investors providing for the issuance of an aggregate of 5.2 million American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") at a purchase price of $0.50 per ADS, and warrants to purchase up to 2.6 million American Depositary Shares in a private placement (the "Warrants," and together with the ADSs: the "Securities").

The warrants will have a term of five and one-half years, be exercisable commencing six months from the issuance date, and have an exercise price of $0.50 per ADS. From the issue date until the date that the Company consummates a public offering of ADSs with gross proceeds to the Company of at least $10 million, in the event that the Company sells shares at an effective price per ADS less than the exercise price, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted, to such lower price per ADS.

The private placement is expected to result in gross proceeds to Therapix of $2.6 million. Therapix intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes.

The Ordinary Shares underlying the ADSs are being deposited with the Company's depositary bank, The Bank of New York Mellon, together with the signing of the purchase agreement. The closing of the sale of the Securities is expected to take place on or about July 1, 2020, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Roth Capital Partners acted as the exclusive placement agent for this offering.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
