Cytori Reminds Stockholders That Rights Offering Expires on Friday, July 20

SAN DIEGO, July 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CYTX) provides a reminder to stockholders that its previously announced rights offering will remain open until 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Friday, July 20, 2018. Rights holders will need to exercise their subscription rights prior to that date and time.

The unit pricing remains $1,000 per unit, each unit consisting of one share of Series C Preferred Stock with a face value of $1,000 (and immediately convertible into common stock at a conversion price of the lesser of (a) $1.45 per share and (b) 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price for our common stock, as reported at the close of trading by Nasdaq, during the five trading days prior to the expiration of the rights offering (including the expiration date), subject to adjustment) and 621 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of the lesser of (a) $1.27 per share and (b) the conversion price per share of the Series C Preferred Stock, from the date of issuance through its expiration 30 months from the date of issuance.

If exercising subscription rights through a broker, dealer, bank or other nominee, rights holders should promptly contact their nominee and submit subscription documents and payment for the units subscribed for in accordance with the instructions and within the time period provided by such nominee. The broker, dealer, bank or other nominee may establish a deadline before July 20, 2018, by which instructions to exercise subscription rights, along with the required subscription payment, must be received.

All record holders of rights certificates that wish to participate in the rights offering must deliver a properly completed and signed rights certificate, together with payment of the subscription price for both basic subscription rights and any oversubscription privilege election, to the Subscription Agent, to be received before 5:00 PM Eastern Time on July 20, 2018.

Under the rights offering, Cytori has distributed one non-transferable subscription right for each share of common stock or Series B Preferred Stock (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) held on the previously announced record date of June 26, 2018. Each right entitles the holder to purchase one unit consisting of one share of a Series C Preferred Stock and 621 Warrants. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock has a face value of $1,000 and is convertible into common stock at a conversion price of the lesser of (a) $1.45 per share and (b) 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price for our common stock, as reported at the close of trading by Nasdaq, during the five trading days prior to the expiration of the rights offering (including the expiration date), subject to adjustment.  For example, if the conversion price is $1.45 per share, then an investor with one share of Series C Preferred Stock would be able to convert it into 690 shares of common stock. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of the lesser of (a) $1.27 per share and (b) the conversion price per share of the Series C Preferred Stock, from the date of issuance through its expiration 30 months from the date of issuance. Cytori has applied to list the warrants on Nasdaq, although there is no assurance that a sufficient number of subscription rights will be exercised so that the warrants will meet the minimum listing criteria to be accepted for listing on Nasdaq under the symbol “CYTXL.” The warrants may be redeemed by Cytori prior to their expiration if Cytori’s common stock closes above $3.63 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. The subscription rights are non-transferrable and may only be exercised during the anticipated subscription period through 5:00 PM Eastern Time on Friday, July 20, 2018, unless extended. A registration statement relating to these securities has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Holders who fully exercise their basic subscription rights will be entitled, if available, to subscribe for an additional amount of units that are not purchased by other stockholders, on a pro rata basis and subject to ownership limitations.

Cytori has engaged Maxim Group LLC as dealer-manager for the rights offering.
