30 Januar 2025 - 8:20PM
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: SXTP; SXTPW) (the
“Company”), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing new
medicines for infectious diseases, today announced the closing of
its previously announced registered direct offering priced
at-the-market under Nasdaq rules for the purchase and sale of an
aggregate of 1,021,549 shares of its common stock at a purchase
price of $1.021 per share. In addition, in a concurrent private
placement, the Company issued unregistered short-term warrants to
purchase up to an aggregate of 2,043,098 shares of common stock.
The short-term warrants have an exercise price of $0.771 per share,
are exercisable upon issuance and will expire twenty-four months
following the date of issuance.
H.C. Wainwright & Co. acted as the exclusive
placement agent for the offering.
The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from
the offering were approximately $1.043 million, before deducting
the placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the
Company. The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from
the offering for working capital and other general corporate
purposes.
The shares of common stock (but not the
short-term warrants issued in the private placement or the shares
of common stock underlying such short-term warrants) were offered
by the Company pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement on Form
S-3 (File No. 333-280796) filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) on July 12, 2024 and became effective on July
18, 2024. The registered direct offering of the shares of common
stock were made only by means of a prospectus, including a
prospectus supplement, forming a part of the effective registration
statement. The prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus relating to the shares of common stock being offered in
the registered direct offering have been filed with the SEC and is
available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Electronic copies of
the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating
to the registered direct offering may also be obtained by

New York, NY 10022, by telephone at (212) 856-5711 or e-mail at

The short-term warrants described above were
issued in a concurrent private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the shares of
common stock underlying the short-term warrants, have not been
registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities
laws. Accordingly, the short-term warrants and underlying shares of
common stock 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
and such applicable state securities laws.
This press release shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the
securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these
securities in any state or 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.

Cautionary Note Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release may contain “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the
U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements reflect the current view about future
events. When used in this press release, the words “anticipate,”
“believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the
negative of these terms and similar expressions, as they relate to
us or our management, identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor
assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on
our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions
regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies,
projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, activities
of regulators and future regulations and other future conditions.
Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are
subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in
circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are
outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition
may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking
statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these
forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our
actual results and financial condition to differ materially from
those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among
others, the following: the use of proceeds from the offering; there
is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue on a
going-concern basis; we might not be eligible for Australian
government research and development tax rebates; if we are not able
to successfully develop, obtain FDA approval for, and provide for
the commercialization of non-malaria prevention indications
for tafenoquine (ARAKODA® or other
regimen) or Celgosivir in a timely manner, we may not be able to
expand our business operations; we may not be able to successfully
conduct planned clinical trials or patient recruitment in our
trials might be slow or negligible; and we have no manufacturing
capacity which puts us at risk of lengthy and costly delays of
bringing our products to market. More detailed information
about the Company and the risk factors that may affect the
realization of forward-looking statements is set forth in the
Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”), including the information contained in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, and
our subsequent SEC filings, as well as marked and other conditions.
Investors and security holders are urged to read these documents
free of charge on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. As a
result of these matters, changes in facts, assumptions not being
realized or other circumstances, the Company’s actual results may
differ materially from the expected results discussed in the
forward-looking statements contained in this press release. Any
forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based
only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of
the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to
publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or
oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of
new information, future developments or otherwise, except as
required by law.
