Theratechnologies Inc. (“Theratechnologies” or the “Company”)
(Nasdaq: THTX; TSX: TH), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the
development and commercialization of innovative therapies, today
announced that it has priced its previously announced public
offering (the “Public Offering”) of 12,500,000 common shares of the
Company (the “Common Shares”) at a public offering price of US$1.00
per Common Share (the “Offering Price”). The gross proceeds of the
Public Offering are expected to be approximately US$12,500,000,
before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and
other estimated offering expenses. The Company has also granted the
underwriter a 30-day option (the “Option”) to purchase up to
1,875,000 Common Shares at the Offering Price, less underwriting
discounts and commissions.
Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. is acting as sole
bookrunner for the Public Offering.
In connection with the Public Offering, the
Company entered into a subscription agreement with Investissement
Québec for a concurrent private placement (the “Concurrent Private
Placement”) of 9,118,184 Common Shares and 3,381,816 fully-funded,
non-voting subscription receipts, exchangeable into Common Shares
on a one-for-one basis (the “Exchangeable Subscription Receipts”)
in lieu of Common Shares, in each case, at the Offering Price, for
US$12,500,000 aggregate gross proceeds, less a capital commitment
fee of 1.5% payable to Investissement Québec. The component of the
Concurrent Private Placement in the form of Exchangeable
Subscription Receipts is designed to ensure that, following
completion of the Public Offering and the Concurrent Private
Placement, Investissement Québec does not have beneficial ownership
or control over more than 19.9% of the issued and outstanding
Common Shares and therefore is not a “control person” within
applicable Canadian securities laws.
The Company will also enter into an investor
rights agreement, pursuant to which Investissement Québec will be
entitled to nominate one director to the Company’s board of
directors for as long as it holds 50% of the Common Shares
purchased pursuant to the Concurrent Private Placement. Copies of
the subscription agreement, the exchangeable receipt agreement
setting forth the terms and condition of the Exchangeable
Subscription Receipts and the investor rights agreement, when
available, will be filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. Summaries
of the subscription agreement and the exchangeable receipt
agreement and a copy of the investor rights agreement, when
available, will be filed on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
Assuming completion of the Public Offering and
the Concurrent Private Placement for US$12,500,000 and
US$12,500,000 aggregate gross proceeds, respectively, but assuming
that the Option is not exercised, Investissement Québec will
beneficially own approximately 19.9% (25.4% if the Exchangeable
Subscription Receipts were to be exchanged into Common Shares) of
the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the date of closing.
If the Option is exercised in full, Investissement Québec will
beneficially own approximately 19.1% (24.5% if the Exchangeable
Subscription Receipts were to be exchanged into Common Shares) of
the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the date of
closing.
A preliminary prospectus supplement (the
“Prospectus Supplement”) to the Company’s short form base shelf
prospectus dated December 14, 2021 (the “Base Shelf Prospectus”)
was filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the
provinces of Canada as well as with the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of its registration
statement on Form F-10 (the “Registration Statement”) under the
U.S.-Canada multijurisdictional disclosure system (“MJDS”). The
Public Offering will be made in Canada only pursuant to the
Prospectus Supplement and Base Shelf Prospectus and in the United
States only pursuant to the Registration Statement, containing the
Prospectus Supplement and the Base Shelf Prospectus, filed with the
SEC under the MJDS. Copies of the Prospectus Supplement and the
Base Shelf Prospectus are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca
and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov, and a copy of the Registration
Statement is available on EDGAR at www.sec.gov. Copies may also be
obtained from Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Attention: Capital
Markets, 110 East 59th Street, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10022,
or by e-mail at prospectus@cantor.com.
Completion of the Public Offering and Concurrent
Private Placement is expected to occur by October 31, 2023, subject
to customary closing conditions, including the listing of the
Common Shares, and the Common Shares underlying the Exchangeable
Subscription Receipts, on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the
submission of notice to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The closing of
the Public Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement are
conditional upon each other.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of
the Public Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement for
general corporate purposes, which may include working capital,
general and administrative expenses, commercialization expenses,
repayment of outstanding debt under its credit facility with
certain funds and accounts for which Marathon Asset Management,
L.P. acts as investment manager, and potential acquisitions or
in-licensing of commercial products.
Prospective investors should read the Prospectus
Supplement, Base Shelf Prospectus and Registration Statement before
making an investment decision.
