Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On May 15, 2024, TC Biopharm (Holdings) PLC (the “Company”) filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”). As noted in the Form 10-Q, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market because its stockholders’ equity was below the required minimum of $2.5 million at March 31, 2024 (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).

 

As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 8, 2024, on May 6, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Inducement Letter”) with certain holders (the “Holders”) of existing Series E warrants (the “Existing Warrants”) to purchase ordinary shares represented by american depositary shares (the “ADSs”) of the Company. Pursuant to the Inducement Letter, the Holders agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,750,000 ADSs of the Company for cash and the payment of £0.099625 (US$0.125) per new warrant in consideration for the Company’s agreement to issue new Series F warrants to purchase ordinary shares represented by ADSs (the “New Warrants”) to purchase up to 70,000,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares represented by 3,500,000 ADSs (the “New Warrant ADSs”). On May 8, 2024, the Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately £3.1 million (circa $3.9m) from the exercise of the Existing Warrants by the Holders, prior to deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.

 

The Company believes that due to the exercise of the Existing Warrants it is now in compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement as of the date of the filing of this Form 8-K.
