Up to 2,331,002 Common****Units, Each Consisting of a Common Share and a Warrant to Purchase One Common Share
Up to 2,331,002 Pre-funded Units, Each Consisting of a Pre-funded Warrant to Purchase One Common Share and a Warrant to Purchase One Common Share
BriaCell Therapeutics Corp.
This is a firm commitment public offering (the “Offering”) of up to an aggregate 2,331,002 common units (each, a “Common Unit”) of BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. Each Common Unit consists of one common share, no par value per share (a “common share”), and one warrant (each a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $5.3625, equal to 125% of the assumed public offering price of one Common Unit of $4.29 per Common Unit (which is the last reported sales price of our common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on April 17, 2025). Each Warrant will expire five years from date of issuance.
We are also offering to those purchasers, if any, whose purchase of Common Units in this Offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of our outstanding common shares immediately following the consummation of this Offering, the opportunity to purchase, if the purchaser so chooses, pre-funded units (each a “Pre-funded Unit”) in lieu of Common Units. Each Pre-funded Unit will consist of one pre-funded warrant to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.001 per share (each a “Pre-funded Warrant”) and one Warrant. The purchase price of each Pre-funded Unit is equal to the price per Common Unit being sold to the public in this Offering, minus $0.001. The Pre-funded Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time and are subject to the Warrant Exercise Limitation.
For each Pre-funded Unit we sell, the number of Common Units we are offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. Common Units and Pre-funded Units will not be certificated. The common shares included in the Common Units or Pre-funded Units and the Warrants included in the Common Units or the Pre-funded Units, can only be purchased together in this Offering, but the securities contained in the Common Units and Pre-funded Units are immediately separable and will be issued separately.
The Offering also includes the common shares issuable from time to time upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants and Warrants.
You should read this prospectus, together with additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” carefully before you invest in any of our securities.
Our common shares are listed on Nasdaq and the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbols “BCTX” and “BCT”, respectively, and our public warrants are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “BCTXW”. On April 21, 2025, the last reported sale price of our common shares on Nasdaq was $4.19 per share and the last reported sale price of our public warrants on Nasdaq was $0.0899 per warrant. The actual public offering price per Common Unit sold in this Offering will be determined between us and the representative of the underwriters based on market conditions at the time of pricing and may be at a discount to the current market price. Therefore, the assumed public offering price used throughout this prospectus may not be indicative of the final offering price. The securities in this Offering will be offered at a fixed price and are expected to be issued in a single closing. We have applied to list the Warrants on Nasdaq under the symbol “BCTXZ”. No assurance can be given that a trading market will develop for the Warrants. There is no established public trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for a listing of the Pre-funded Warrants on any national securities exchange or other nationally recognized trading system.
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined under the federal securities laws and, as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus and future filings. See “Prospectus Summary - Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company.”
