Atossa Genetics - Atossa raises $13.4m in rights offering

Atossa’s previously announced rights offering closed on 30 May 2018, generating $13.3m in gross proceeds ($12.1m net) through the issue of 13,324 shares of Series B convertible preferred stock (SBCPS) and 3,784,016 warrants exercisable at $4.05 per share. We believe the funds raised could sustain operations into early 2020. Each SBCPS is immediately convertible into 284 common shares. Assuming the full conversion of all SBCPS into common shares, the number of Atossa’s fully diluted (FD) common shares outstanding has increased by 143% to 6.44m. While our rNPV ($24.4m) is largely unchanged, our per-share equity valuation has reduced to $5.87 per share (from $11.30 previously) due to the dilutive impact of the equity raise.
