TriSalus Life Sciences® Inc. (“TriSalus” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: TLSI), an oncology company integrating its novel delivery technology with immunotherapy to transform treatment for patients with liver and pancreatic tumors, announced today the expiration and results of its previously announced exchange offer (the “Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) relating to its warrants (the “Warrants”) identified in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange that forms a part of the Registration Statement (as defined below). The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on June 25, 2024.

Pursuant to the Offer, the Company offered all holders of each class of its Warrants, consisting of (i) its publicly traded Warrants (the “Public Warrants”), (ii) certain Warrants issued in a private placement transaction occurring simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering of the Company (the “Private Placement Warrants”) and (iii) certain Warrants issued for working capital requirements and payment of certain expenses of the Company (“Working Capital Warrants”), the opportunity to receive 0.30 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), in exchange for each Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the Offer. As previously disclosed, parties representing approximately 34.8% of the Public Warrants agreed to tender their Public Warrants in the Offer and to consent to the Warrant Amendment (as defined below) in the Consent Solicitation pursuant to tender and support agreements. The Company did not receive tender and support agreements with respect to the Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants.

The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on June 25, 2024. The Company has been advised that the Warrants tendered were comprised of 6,533,614 Public Warrants (including 9,185 Public Warrants tendered through guaranteed delivery), 504,685 Private Placement Warrants, and 0 Working Capital Warrants, which represents approximately 78.89%, 10.23% and 0.00% of the outstanding Warrants of each respective class, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Company expects to accept all validly tendered Warrants for exchange and settlement on or before July 1, 2024.

In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of approximately 78.89% of the outstanding Public Warrants to amend the warrant agreement that governs the Warrants (the “Warrant Amendment”), which represents a majority of the outstanding Public Warrants required to effect the Warrant Amendment with respect to the Public Warrants. Pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company did not receive the requisite approval to effect the Warrant Amendment with respect to either the Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants. Accordingly, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into the Warrant Amendment, dated June 26, 2024, with respect to the Public Warrants but not the Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants.

The Company also announced that its Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333- 279691), filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 24, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”), registering shares of Common Stock issuable in the Offer and pursuant to the Warrant Amendment was declared effective by the SEC on June 25, 2024.

Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. served as the Dealer Manager and Solicitation Agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation. Morrow Sodali LLC served as the Information Agent for the Offer and Consent Solicitation, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company served as the Exchange Agent.

About TriSalus Life Sciences

TriSalus Life Sciences® is an oncology focused medical technology business providing disruptive drug delivery technology with the goal of improving therapeutics delivery to liver and pancreatic tumors.

The Company’s platform includes devices that utilize a proprietary drug delivery technology and a clinical stage investigational immunotherapy. The Company’s two FDA-cleared devices use its proprietary Pressure-Enabled Drug Delivery™ (PEDD™) approach to deliver a range of therapeutics: the TriNav® Infusion System for hepatic arterial infusion of liver tumors and the Pancreatic Retrograde Venous Infusion System for pancreatic tumors. PEDD is a novel delivery approach designed to address the anatomic limitations of arterial infusion for the pancreas. The PEDD approach modulates pressure and flow in a manner that delivers more therapeutic to the tumor and is designed to reduce undesired delivery to normal tissue, bringing the potential to improve patient outcomes. Nelitolimod, the Company’s investigational immunotherapeutic candidate, is designed to improve patient outcomes by treating the immunosuppressive environment created by many tumors and which can make current immunotherapies ineffective in the liver and pancreas. Patient data generated during Pressure-Enabled Regional Immuno-Oncology™ (PERIO) clinical trials support the hypothesis that nelitolimod delivered via PEDD may have favorable immune effects within the liver and systemically. The target for nelitolimod, TLR9, is expressed across cancer types and the mechanical barriers addressed by PEDD are commonly present as well. Nelitolimod delivered by PEDD will be studied across several indications in an effort to address immune dysfunction and overcome drug delivery barriers in the liver and pancreas.

In partnership with leading cancer centers across the country – and by leveraging deep immuno-oncology expertise and inventive technology development – TriSalus is committed to advancing innovation that improves outcomes for patients.
