As previously disclosed, on June 9, 2021, Purple Biotech Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into an Open Market Sale AgreementSM (the “ATM Agreement”) with Jefferies LLC (the “Agent”), as sales agent, pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell American Depositary Shares (the “ADSs”), with each ADS representing two hundred of the Company’s ordinary shares (the “Shares”), from time to time in an “at the market offering” program.

 

The ADSs will be offered and sold pursuant to a sales agreement prospectus, dated May 22, 2023, forming a part of the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3, as amended (File No. 333-268710), initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2022 and declared effective on May 22, 2023, as supplemented by the prospectus supplements, dated October 17, 2023 and January 6, 2025. The initial sales agreement prospectus registered the offer and sale of up to $12.0 million of Shares. The prospectus supplement filed on October 17, 2023 reduced the amount of Shares available to be sold pursuant to the ATM Agreement to $3.0 million of Shares. As of the date hereof, the Company has sold an aggregate of approximately $4.0 million of Shares under the initial sales agreement prospectus effective on May 22, 2023 and the prospectus supplement filed on October 17, 2023. On January 6, 2025, the Company determined to increase the amount available for sale under the ATM Agreement, up to an additional aggregate offering price of $1,330,000, from and after the date hereof.

 

Because there is no minimum offering amount required pursuant to the ATM Agreement, the total number of ADSs to be sold under the ATM Agreement, if any, and proceeds to the Company, if any, are not determinable at this time. The Company expects to use any net proceeds primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company has not yet determined the amount of net proceeds to be used specifically for any particular purpose or the timing of these expenditures. Accordingly, the Company’s management will have significant discretion and flexibility in applying the net proceeds from the sale of these securities, if any.

 

A copy of the opinion of ABZ Law Office relating to the validity of the Shares underlying the ADSs that may be sold pursuant to the ATM Agreement and a copy of the opinion of Haynes and Boone, LLP relating to the validity of the ADSs that may be sold pursuant to the ATM Agreement were filed with the Company’s registration statement on Form F-3, as amended (File No. 333-268710).

 

This Report on Form 6-K, including the exhibits filed herewith, shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the ADSs that may be sold pursuant to the ATM Agreement, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of the ADSs in any state or country in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or country.
