NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PAVmed Inc. (Nasdaq: PAVM, PAVMW) (the “Company”), a highly differentiated, multiproduct medical device company, today announced the filing of a warrant exchange offer (the “Warrant Offer”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) providing holders of the Company’s outstanding Series W Warrants (Nasdaq: PAVMW, the “W Warrant”) the right to exchange every two W Warrants for one Series Z Warrant (the “Z Warrant”).
The Warrant Offer begins today and will extend to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 19, 2018, subject to extension at the Company’s sole discretion. The Warrant Offer will be available to all holders of the Company’s outstanding W Warrants. Holders of W Warrants may tender all, some, or none of their Warrants. Any W Warrants not tendered shall remain outstanding and unmodified. There will be no cash or other consideration required to participate in the Warrant Offer. The Warrant Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of W Warrants being tendered but is subject to certain customary conditions.
Each of the Company’s outstanding W Warrants is currently exercisable for one share of Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $5.00 per share until January 29, 2022. All W Warrants are currently redeemable at the Company’s discretion if the Common Stock trades at or above $10.00 per share, subject to certain other conditions.
Each Z Warrant will be exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share until April 30, 2024. After April 30, 2019, the Z Warrants will become redeemable at the Company’s discretion if the Common Stock trades at or above $9.00 per share, subject to certain other conditions. The Company intends to apply to have the Z Warrants listed to trade on Nasdaq.
As compared to the W Warrants, the Z Warrants provide holders a lower exercise price, a more than two-year longer term and over one year of hard call protection.
The Z Warrants are identical to the warrants issuable pursuant to the Company’s recently announced rights offering, which will commence upon effectiveness of the applicable registration statement previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Warrant Offer is designed to provide existing warrant holders enhanced value and streamline the Company’s capital structure. If all W Warrants are exchanged, the Company’s fully diluted shares of Common Stock will be reduced by 5,266,750.
Neither the Company nor its board of directors or officers makes any recommendations to W Warrant holders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their W Warrants in the Warrant Offer. Each W Warrant holder must make his, her or its own decision as to whether to tender some or all of his, her or its W Warrants in the Warrant Offer.
