On December 29, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), Cyclo Therapeutics, Inc.

The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the Registered Offering will be approximately $3.7 million after deducting certain fees due to the Placement Agent (as defined below) and the Company’s estimated expenses. The net proceeds received by the Company will be used for working purposes, including the continuation of the Company’s pivotal Phase III trial for the treatment of Niemann-Pick Disease Type C with Trappsol® Cyclo™.
 
The Shares, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrant Shares are being offered pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-254496), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on March 19, 2021 and declared effective by the Commission on May 28, 2021 (the “Registration Statement”).
 
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in a concurrent private placement (the “Private Placement” and together with the Registered Offering, the “Offering”), the Company has also agreed to sell and issue to the Investor Series A-1 warrants to purchase up to 2,608,696 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.36 per share, exercisable for a period of five years from the date of issuance, and Series A-2 warrants to purchase up to 2,608,696 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.36 per share, exercisable for a period of three years from the date of issuance.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, to certain restrictions on the issuance and sale of its shares of Common Stock and securities convertible into Common Stock for a period of 90 days. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, each of the Company’s directors and executive officers entered into “lock-up” agreements with the that generally prohibit the sale, transfer, or other disposition of securities of the Company for a period of 90 days following the closing of the Registered Offering.
 
The Offering is expected to close on or about January 3, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent a cash fee equal to 7.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, a management fee equal to 1.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, and to reimburse the Placement Agent for its non-accountable expenses in the amount of $35,000, for fees and expenses of legal counsel and other out-of-pocket expenses in the amount of $50,000, and for its clearing expenses in the amount of $15,950.
 
In addition, the Company will issue the Placement Agent or its designees warrants to purchase an aggregate of 156,522 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.0125 per share, which will be exercisable for five years from the commencement of sales in the Offering (the “Placement Agent Warrants”).
 
The form of Pre-Funded Warrant, Series A-1 warrant, Series A-2 warrant, and Placement Agent Warrant, and the Purchase Agreement, have been filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and are incorporated herein by reference, and the descriptions thereof herein are qualified by reference to the full terms thereof.
