At closing, SCYNEXIS issued 3,333,333 shares of its common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 11,666,667 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 15,000,000 additional shares of its common stock. The pre-funded warrants were issued to certain purchasers who have elected to purchase them in lieu of shares of common stock in this offering, as those purchasers would otherwise have exceeded 19.99% (or such lesser percentage as required by the investor) beneficial ownership of our common stock immediately following the offering. The shares of common stock, pre-funded warrants and warrants were issued separately. The warrants have a seven-year term and an exercise price of $3.45 per share. The pre-funded warrants and the warrants are exercisable immediately. The warrants were certificated and are being delivered to the investors by physical delivery following the closing. There is no established public trading market for the pre-funded warrants or the warrants, and SCYNEXIS does not expect a market to develop.
In addition, SCYNEXIS has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,250,000 shares of common stock and/or warrants to purchase up to 2,250,000 shares of common stock, at their respective public offering prices, less the underwriting discounts and commissions.
