Addex Therapeutics Ltd (SIX: ADXN and Nasdaq: ADXN), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company pioneering allosteric modulation-based drug discovery and development, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Armistice Master Fund LTV, a healthcare-focused institutional investor, to sell 3,300,000 shares in the form of 550,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) at a gross purchase price of $1.70 per ADS, which is equivalent to CHF 0.27 per share. Each ADS represents six shares. Additionally, Addex has agreed to issue to Armistice Capital unregistered pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 11,700,000 shares in the form of 1,950,000 ADSs (the “Unregistered Pre-Funded Warrants”) at a funded amount of $1.69 with $0.01 payable on exercise as well as unregistered warrants to purchase up to 15,000,000 shares in the form of 2,500,000 ADSs (the “Unregistered Warrants” and together with the “Unregistered Pre-Funded Warrants”, the “Warrants”) in a concurrent private placement. The Unregistered Warrants have an exercise price of $1.90 per ADS, will become exercisable in 60 days after their date of issuance and will expire five years from their date of issuance.

The gross proceeds to Addex, before deducting offering expenses, will be $4.2 million. Addex intends to use the net proceeds from this offering to advance its clinical and preclinical pipeline1.

The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about July 26, 2022, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The shares (but not the Warrants or the shares underlying the Warrants) are being offered by Addex pursuant to a "shelf" registration statement on Form F-3 that was originally filed on April 7, 2021 and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 13, 2021 and the base prospectus contained therein (File No. 333-255089). The offering of the shares is being made only by means of a prospectus supplement that forms a part of the registration statement.

The Warrants and shares underlying the Warrants are being offered in a private placement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), and Regulation D promulgated thereunder and, along with the shares underlying the Warrants, have not been registered under the Act, or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the Warrants and underlying shares may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act and such applicable state securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.$Addex Therapeutics Ltd(ADXN)$
