AUSTIN, TX / ACCESS Newswire / September 18, 2025 / Aspira Women's Health Inc. ("Aspira") (OTCQB:AWHL), an AI enhanced bio-analytics based women's health company focused on delivering leading noninvasive gynecologic disease diagnostics and disease management tools, today announced that it has received equity capital totaling $3.06 million from existing and new investors. The company has entered into a securities purchase agreement dated September 18, 2025, pursuant to which the Company has sold and issued an aggregate principal amount of $2.95 million in the form of a Unit Purchase, which includes Common Stock and a partial Warrant (the "Unit") in a private placement (the "Private Placement") with existing and new accredited investors, including members of the Board of Directors. Additionally, the unsolicited exercise of warrants arising from the March 11, 2025, private placement netted the company $112,500 upon the issuance of 450,000 shares.

The price at which the Units were offered is a fixed price using the 10-day volume weighted average lookback price as of September 8, 2025, resulting in a fixed price per unit sold of $0.45. Each unit is comprised of a share of Common Stock combined with 75% of one warrant. Each warrant shall convey the right to purchase one share of common stock at a fixed cash price of $0.75 per share, with a term of five (5) years from date of issuance. As a result of this transaction, the Company issued 6,550,000 additional common shares, and 4,912,500 new warrants.

Net proceeds from the offering will be used to support Aspira's ongoing commercial activities as well as general corporate purposes and working capital.

"We are pleased to announce this capital infusion," commented Jack Fraser, Chairman of Aspira. "We appreciate the commitment and confidence these investors have placed in our team. During the investor due diligence process, we articulated our business plans for our existing commercial portfolio of revenue generating products, as well as our anticipated innovations. Based on what we feel is a compelling outlook for Aspira, our investor community delivered financial backing enabling our team to focus on the successful execution of our near-term goals. Further, we are particularly excited about the innovative product pipeline that offers potentially game-changing utility to patients and their providers in battling ovarian cancer and endometriosis."

"I want to thank our Board of Directors for the key roles they played helping our executive team to review our business plans and material strategy changes with appropriate investors, who envisioned the tremendous value we are seeking to unlock solving some of the most pressing unmet needs in women's health today," commented Mike Buhle, CEO of Aspira. "I believe we have executed extremely well in the first eight months of our transformative strategic plans as well as operational changes on all fronts. We overhauled our cost structure, streamlined our operations, and have become highly efficient on many measures.

"Equally importantly, our new model is delivering sustained growth metrics despite vastly reducing our resourcing, including staffing and financial resources. Recent client adoptions of our non-invasive diagnostic solutions with globally recognized health delivery platforms are strong examples of market validation of our science and our team, and we anticipate additional engagements. These important platform partnerships are examples of how we expect to drive scalable growth in 2025, 2026, and for numerous years going forward. This unfolding market adoption momentum drives our confidence that this important capital infusion can propel the Company forward as we execute on our growth plans," concluded Mr. Buhle. "We have many opportunities before us, and our focus is entirely on executing on them."

About Aspira Women's Health Inc.

Aspira Women's Health Inc. is dedicated to the discovery, development, and commercialization of noninvasive, AI-powered tests to aid in the diagnosis of gynecologic diseases.  OvaWatch^® and Ova1Plus^® are offered to clinicians as OvaSuite^SM. Together, they provide the only comprehensive portfolio of blood tests to aid in the detection of ovarian cancer risk for the 1.2+ million American women diagnosed with an adnexal mass each year.

OvaWatch^® provides a negative predictive value of 99% and is used to assess ovarian cancer risk for women where initial clinical assessment indicates the mass is indeterminate or benign, and thus surgery may be premature or unnecessary. Ova1Plus is a reflex process of two FDA-cleared tests, Ova1^® and Overa^®, to assess the risk of ovarian malignancy in women with an adnexal mass planned for surgery.     

Our in-development test pipeline will expand our ovarian cancer portfolio and address the tremendous need for non-invasive diagnostics for endometriosis, a debilitating disease that impacts millions of women worldwide. In ovarian cancer, we intend to combine microRNA and protein biomarkers with patient data to further enhance the sensitivity and specificity of our current tests. In endometriosis, we have developed the first-ever non-invasive test designed to identify endometriomas, one of the most commonly occurring forms of severe endometriosis. Through our ongoing endometriosis development program, we are combining microRNA and protein biomarkers with patient data, with the intent of identifying all endometriosis independent of disease location or severity.
