ZURICH - NLS Pharmaceutics Ltd. (NASDAQ:NLSP), a Swiss biopharmaceutical company, announced on Wednesday a registered direct offering and concurrent private placement of securities expected to raise $1.75 million.
The company, specializing in central nervous system disorder treatments, is issuing 7 million common shares (or equivalents) at $0.25 each and warrants to purchase up to 3.5 million common shares at the same price.
The warrants, which are immediately exercisable upon issuance, will expire five years from the date of issuance. This offering is anticipated to close by March 22, 2024, subject to standard closing conditions. H.C. Wainwright & Co. serves as the exclusive placement agent for the transaction.
