TriSalus is committed to simplifying its capital structure and reducing the potential impact of dilution from its Preferred Stock. By exchanging outstanding shares of Preferred Stock for common stock, the Company eliminates complex capital layers and potential preferential claims, providing investors with a clearer view of the Company’s equity value and improving transparency around ownership.

What’s Being Offered

TriSalus is offering all holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock the chance to exchange their shares for common stock. Each share of Preferred Stock can be exchanged for common stock based on the total value it would accrue (including dividends through August 10, 2027), divided by $4.00 per share.

In total, TriSalus is offering up to 11,860,206 shares of common stock to complete the exchange.

Consent Solicitation: Proposed Change to Preferred Stock Terms

Along with the exchange offer, TriSalus is asking preferred shareholders to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock. If approved, this amendment would allow the Company to automatically convert all remaining Preferred Stock into common stock after the offer closes, based on a slightly lower exchange ratio (11.3% less than the current offer).

Investors holding approximately 55% of the outstanding Preferred Stock have previously agreed to exchange their shares and approve the proposed changes pursuant to tender and support agreements. If the remaining conditions outlined in the Company’s Prospectus/Offer to Exchange are met, these changes will go into effect.

Key Dates and Information

Deadline to Participate: The offer expires at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on July 23, 2025, unless extended.
Preferred Stock holders can withdraw their tendered shares any time before the deadline.
Offer Details

The offer is described in full in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and Schedule TO, both filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 23, 2025.

Common Stock Symbol: TLSI (traded on the Nasdaq Global Market);
Preferred Stock: Not publicly traded; 3,594,002 shares outstanding as of June 13, 2025;
Morrow Sodali LLC has been appointed as the Information Agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company has been appointed as the Exchange Agent. Requests for documents should be directed to Morrow Sodali LLC at (800) 662-5200 (for individuals) or (203) 658-9400 (for banks and brokers) or via the following email address: [email protected].

On June 23, 2025 OS Therapies Inc. (NYSE-A: OSTX) ("OS Therapies" or "the Company"), a clinical-stage immunotherapy and Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) biopharmaceutical company, reported a warrant exercise inducement and exchange offer to holders of its five-year warrants with a current exercise price of $1.12 per share that were issued in connection with a PIPE financing transaction that had an initial closing date of December 31, 2024 (the "Old Warrants") (Press release, OS Therapies, JUN 23, 2025, View Source [SID1234654076]).

The New Warrants also have an added forced exercise provision that allows the Company to require the holder to exercise the New Warrants in the event the closing price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $9.00 (300% of the exercise price) for 20 consecutive days.

OS Therapies intends to use net proceeds from the offering to support US and International regulatory and pre-commercialization efforts aimed at securing marketing authorization for OST-HER2 in the prevention or delay of recurrent, fully resected, lung metastatic osteosarcoma, and for general corporate purposes.

The warrant exercise inducement and exchange offer is being made to the holders of Old Warrants during the period beginning on June 20, 2025 and ending at 5:00pm EDT on July 10, 2025 – subject to extension, termination or suspension by the Company in its sole discretion. The offering may be concluded in one or more closings with respect to exercises of the Old Warrants.

The Company reiterates that it will release additional data related to its Phase 2b clinical trial of OST-HER2 in the prevention or delay of recurrent, fully resected, lung metastatic osteosarcoma at the MIB Factor meeting in Salt Lake City on June 28, 2025. The Company also reiterates its intention to submit a Biologics Licensing Application (BLA) for OST-HER2 osteosarcoma to the FDA in the third quarter of 2025.

OST-HER2 has received Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD) for osteosarcoma from the US FDA, and if it receives a conditional BLA via Accelerated Review prior to September 30, 2026, it will be eligible to receive a Priority Review Voucher (PRV) that it intends to sell. The most recent PRV sale occurred in June 2025, valued at $160 million.

The New Warrants to be issued in the private placement, as well as the common stock issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") registering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the New Warrants issued in this private placement (the "Resale Shares").

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities being offered in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. Any offering of the Resale Shares under the resale registration statement will only be made by means of a prospectus.

About Zidesamtinib and the ARROS-1 Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial

Zidesamtinib is a novel brain-penetrant ROS1-selective inhibitor created with the aim to overcome limitations observed with currently available ROS1 inhibitors. Zidesamtinib is designed to remain active in tumors that have developed resistance to currently available ROS1 inhibitors, including tumors with treatment-emergent ROS1 mutations such as G2032R. In addition, zidesamtinib is designed for central nervous system (CNS) penetrance to improve treatment options for patients with brain metastases, and to avoid inhibition of the structurally related tropomyosin receptor kinase (TRK) family. Together, these characteristics have the potential to avoid TRK-related CNS adverse events seen with dual TRK/ROS1 inhibitors and to drive deep, durable responses for patients across all lines of therapy. Zidesamtinib has received breakthrough therapy designation for the treatment of patients with ROS1-positive metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who have been previously treated with 2 or more ROS1 tyrosine kinase inhibitors and orphan drug designation for ROS1-positive NSCLC.

Zidesamtinib is currently being investigated in the ARROS-1 trial (NCT05118789), a first-in-human Phase 1/2 clinical trial for patients with advanced ROS1-positive NSCLC and other solid tumors. The completed Phase 1 portion enrolled ROS1-positive NSCLC patients who previously received at least one ROS1 TKI, or patients with other ROS1-positive solid tumors who had been previously treated. The Phase 1 portion of the trial was designed to evaluate the overall safety and tolerability of zidesamtinib, with additional objectives including determination of the recommended Phase 2 dose, characterization of the pharmacokinetic profile, and evaluation of preliminary anti-tumor activity. The ongoing global, single arm, open label Phase 2 portion is designed with registrational intent for TKI-naïve and TKI pre-treated patients with ROS1-positive NSCLC.
