and incorporated by reference herein.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto,
is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed incorporated
by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific
reference in such a filing.
Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement
On October 22, 2024, the Company announced that it had closed the previously
announced registered direct offering of 4,443,000 shares (the “Shares”) of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001
per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $1.50 per Share (the “Registered Direct Offering”),
and a concurrent private placement of warrants to purchase up to 4,443,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”)
(CUSIP 09074F 157) at an exercise price of $1.37 per share (the “Private Placement” and, together with the Registered
Direct Offering, the “Offering”). The gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately $6,664,500,
before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses of approximately $902,560. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from

Pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Acuitas Warrant, if the Company, at any

Exhibit 99.1
BioVie Inc.
Announces Closing of Registered Direct Offering and Concurrent Private Placement
Carson City, Nevada, October 22, 2024 —
BioVie Inc. (Nasdaq: BIVI), (“BioVie” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage
company developing innovative drug therapies to treat chronic debilitating conditions including liver disease and neurological and neuro-degenerative
disorders, today announced the closing of its previously announced registered direct offering of
4,443,000 shares of its common stock priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules at a price of $1.50 per share.
In a concurrent private placement (the "Private
Placement"), the Company also issued and sold unregistered warrants to purchase up to 4,443,000 shares of its common stock (“Warrants”),
with each Warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.37 per share. Each Warrant will be exercisable
beginning six months following issuance and will expire five years following the initial exercise date.
The gross proceeds
to the Company from the offering are $6,664,500, before deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. The Company intends to use
the net proceeds from the offering primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes.
ThinkEquity
acted as sole placement agent for the offering.
The shares of common stock offered in the registered
direct offering (but excluding the unregistered Warrants offered in the concurrent private placement and the shares of common stock underlying
such Warrants) were offered and sold pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-274083), including a base prospectus,
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 18, 2023 and declared effective on August 28,
2023. A final prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus describing the terms of the offering was filed with the SEC and is available
on its website at www.sec.gov. Copies of the final prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the offering may
also be obtained, when available, from the offices of ThinkEquity, 17 State Street, 41st
Floor, New York, New York 10004.
The offer and sale of the Warrants in the private
placement were made in a transaction not involving a public offering and have not been registered under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and/or Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the
shares of common stock underlying such Warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.
Accordingly, the Warrants offered in the private placement and the underlying shares of common stock may not be reoffered or resold in
the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to
sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such
an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or
jurisdiction.
About BioVie Inc.
BioVie Inc. (NASDAQ: BIVI) is a clinical-stage company
developing innovative drug therapies for the treatment of neurological and neurodegenerative disorders (Long COVID, Alzheimer's disease
and Parkinson’s disease) and advanced liver disease. In neurodegenerative disease, the Company’s drug candidate bezisterim
inhibits inflammatory activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and the transcription factor, Nuclear factor- kB, and the associated
neuroinflammation and insulin resistance but not ERK and NFkB homeostatic functions (e.g., insulin signaling and neuron growth and survival).
Both neuroinflammation and insulin resistance are drivers of AD and PD. Persistent systematic inflammation and neuroinflammation
are key features in patients with neurological symptoms of Long COVID. In liver disease, the Company’s Orphan drug candidate BIV201
(continuous infusion terlipressin), with FDA Fast Track status, is being evaluated and discussed with guidance received from the FDA regarding
the design of Phase 3 clinical testing of BIV201 for the reduction of further decompensation in participants with liver cirrhosis and ascites. The active agent is approved in the U.S.
and in about 40 countries for related complications of advanced liver cirrhosis. For more information, visit www.bioviepharma.com.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements,
which may be identified by words such as "expect," "look forward to," "anticipate" "intend," "plan,"
"believe," "seek," "estimate," "will," "project" or words of similar meaning. Although
BioVie Inc. believes such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations
will be attained. Actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by the statements herein due to the Company's ability
to successfully raise sufficient capital on reasonable terms or at all, available cash on hand and contractual and statutory limitations
that could impair our ability to pay future dividends, our ability to complete our pre-clinical or clinical studies and to obtain approval
for our product candidates, our ability to successfully defend potential future litigation, changes in local or national economic conditions
as well as various additional risks, many of which are now unknown and generally out of the Company's control, and which are detailed
from time to time in reports filed by the Company with the SEC, including quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, reports on Form 8-K and annual
reports on Form 10-K. BioVie Inc. does not undertake any duty to update any statements contained herein (including any forward-looking
statements), except as required by law.
