Antibe Announces Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$ATBPF–Antibe Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: ATE, OTCQX: ATBPF), a clinical-stage company leveraging its hydrogen sulfide platform to develop next-generation safer therapies that target inflammation, is pleased to announce an Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program (“Early Warrant Exercise Program”) for its 6.5 million outstanding and unlisted share purchase warrants having an exercise price of $1.50 (“Exercise Price”) and expiring on July 31, 2024 (the “Warrants”).


The Early Warrant Exercise Program is designed to encourage the early exercise of the Warrants during a 30-day early exercise period expected to commence on January 16, 2024 and terminate on February 15, 2024 (the “Incentive Period”). The Company proposes to incentivize the early exercise of the Warrants by offering a reduction in the Exercise Price from $1.50 to $1.00 to holders of the Warrants who exercise the Warrants during the Incentive Period. After February 15, 2024, the exercise price of the Warrants will revert to $1.50 per common share.

“As we prepare for an exciting year ahead, this incentive program has the potential to further strengthen our balance sheet and simplify our cap table,” commented Dan Legault, Antibe’s CEO. “Of course, we’ll also be pleased to allow our warrantholders to rejoin us as shareholders as we advance otenaproxesul in a market of increasing relevance to potential partners.”

None of the Warrants are held by insiders of the Company.

The Toronto Stock Exchange has provided conditional approval for the Early Warrant Exercise Program with an effective date for the amendments of January 16, 2024.
