Roseland, NJ, Dec. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gaxos.ai Inc. (Nasdaq: GXAI), ("Gaxos” or the "Company”), a company developing artificial intelligence applications across various sectors, 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 1,449,277 shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $3.45 per share. In addition, in a concurrent private placement, the Company issued unregistered warrants to purchase up to 1,449,277 shares of common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $3.32 per share, are exercisable upon issuance and expire three years 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 $5 million, before deducting the placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company 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 warrants issued in the private placement or the shares of common stock underlying such warrants) were offered by the Company pursuant to a "shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-283758) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC”) on December 12, 2024 and became effective on December 18, 2024. The registered direct offering of the shares of common stock was 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 offered in the registered direct offering have been filed with the SEC and are at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

The 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 warrants, have not been registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the 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.
