NovaBay Pharmaceuticals Announces $3.0 Million Convertible Note Financing

NovaBay® Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: NBY) (“NovaBay” or the “Company”) announced today that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with institutional accredited investors (“Purchasers”) in connection with a private placement to issue secured senior convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) and two series of new warrants exercisable for NovaBay common stock (the “Warrants”). The private placement is expected to close upon the satisfaction of closing conditions in the securities purchase agreement, which is expected to occur on or about May 1, 2023 or as soon as practicable thereafter. NovaBay intends to use the net proceeds received from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. In addition, NovaBay agreed to reduce the exercise price of existing warrants exercisable for an aggregate of 1,647,310 shares of common stock held by the investors in the financing to $1.50.

“I appreciate our investors who participated in this financing and who continue to believe in our vision. The proceeds from the sale of the Debentures and the Warrants will shore up our balance sheet and capital needs in the near term and allow us to take another step toward profitability,” said Justin Hall, NovaBay CEO.

The Debentures issued in the private placement will have a $3.3 million aggregate principal amount and be convertible by the holders into shares of NovaBay common stock at a conversion price of $1.30, subject to certain ownership limitations set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Debenture. The Debentures will have a maturity date of 18 months from the closing date and will be paid in 18 monthly payments over such term and bear interest from the date of issuance at 0% per annum, with such monthly principal payments payable by the Company in cash or NovaBay common stock beginning approximately 30 days after the closing. The Debentures were issued with an original discount of ten percent (10%). The Warrants will be exercisable to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 5.1 million shares of Company common stock at an exercise price of $1.30 with one series exercisable for two years and the other series exercisable for five years after Stockholder Approval has been obtained by the Company. As a result of the number of shares of Company common stock that may be issued upon the future conversion or redemption of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants, the Company will be required to obtain stockholder approval in accordance with the NYSE American LLC Company Guide Rule 713(a) and Rule 713(b) (“Stockholder Approval”). The Amended Warrants held by the Purchasers and certain other existing investors will be amended pursuant to a warrant amendment agreement to provide for a reduced exercise price of $1.50 from a prior exercise price of $6.30.

Ladenburg Thalmann & Co., Inc. acted as exclusive placement agent for the Offering.
