On December 16, 2024, TC Biopharm (Holdings) PLC (the “Company”) entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”), under which the Company may offer and sell shares of its american depositary shares (the “ADSs”) representing ordinary shares, par value £0.0001 per share (the “Shares”), having an aggregate sales price of up to $14,000,000 through Wainwright as the sales manager. Each ADS represents two hundred (200) Shares. Sales of the Company’s ADSs through Wainwright, if any, will be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including, without limitation, sales made directly on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC or any other existing trading market for the Company’s ADSs. Wainwright will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell shares of the Company’s ADSs from time to time, based on instructions from the Company (including any price, time or size limits or other parameters or conditions the Company may impose). The Company will pay Wainwright a commission equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from the sales of the Company’s ADSs sold through Wainwright under the ATM Agreement and will also reimburse Wainwright for certain specified expenses in connection with entering into the ATM Agreement as well as in connection with each Representation Date (as defined in the ATM Agreement). Pursuant to the ATM Agreement, the Company also provided Wainwright with customary indemnification and contribution rights. The ATM Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and conditions to the sale of the ADSs pursuant thereto.

 

The Company is not obligated to sell any of the ADSs under the ATM Agreement and may at any time suspend solicitation and offers thereunder. The offering of ADSs pursuant to the ATM Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (1) the sale, pursuant to the ATM Agreement, of Shares having an aggregate offering price of $14,000,000 and (2) the termination of the ATM Agreement by either the Company or Wainwright, as set forth therein.

 

The foregoing description of the ATM Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the ATM Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated herein by reference. This Report on Form 6-K also incorporates by reference the ATM Agreement into the Registration Statement (as defined herein).

 

The ADSs are being offered and sold pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form F-3 and an accompanying prospectus (File No. 333-283507) filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 27, 2024 and declared effective by the SEC on December 11, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”) and pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated December 16, 2024.
