By: Fractyl Health, Inc. via GlobeNewswire

August 07, 2025 at 16:05 PM EDT

Offering included participation from leading institutional investors, including Nantahala Capital, ADAR1 Capital Management, Second Line Capital, 683 Capital, and SilverArc Capital

Proceeds expected to extend cash runway through key upcoming 3-and 6-month REMAIN-1 Midpoint Cohort randomized data readouts from the REMAIN-1 pivotal study

BURLINGTON, Mass., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fractyl Health, Inc. (Nasdaq: GUTS) (the “Company” or “Fractyl”), a metabolic therapeutics company pioneering pattern-breaking approaches that treat root causes of obesity and type 2 diabetes (“T2D”), today announced the closing of its previously announced underwritten public offering of 21,904,761 shares of common stock and accompanying Tranche A and Tranche B warrants, including the full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase 2,857,142 additional shares of common stock and accompanying Tranche A and Tranche B warrants, for gross proceeds of approximately $23 million, before deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses.

The offering drew participation from both new institutional investors and existing shareholders, including Nantahala Capital, ADAR1 Capital Management, Second Line Capital, 683 Capital, and SilverArc Capital.

Each share of common stock was sold together with (a) one Tranche A warrant with a 2-year term; and (b) one Tranche B warrant with a 5-year term, exercisable following stockholder approval pursuant to Nasdaq rules; at a combined public offering price of $1.05. Both the Tranche A and Tranche B warrants are fixed-priced, do not have any variable priced resetting mechanisms, and contain no price-based anti-dilution or ratchets. The exercise price for both warrant tranches was $1.05 per share.

The Tranche A warrants are callable at the Company’s option following the release of 3-month randomized midpoint clinical data from the ongoing REMAIN-1 study, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions including that the average trading price of the stock exceeds $1.37 per share for 15 consecutive trading days and a minimum daily trading volume threshold.

If fully exercised for cash, the Tranche A and Tranche B warrants could result in up to an additional $46 million in gross proceeds to the Company, for a total potential raise of $69 million.

Fractyl intends to use net proceeds from the offering to support clinical development of its Revita and Rejuva platforms, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. acted as book-running manager for the offering.
