Satellos Closes US$57.2 Million Public Offering in Canada and the United States, Including Exercise of Underwriters’ Option to Purchase Additional Shares
An underwritten public offering is when a company sells new shares of its stock to the public with the help of a financial firm, called an underwriter. The underwriter agrees to buy all the shares upfront, reducing the company's risk, and then sells them to investors. This process helps companies raise money quickly and confidently from a wide range of buyers.
pre-funded warrantsfinancial
Pre-funded warrants are financial instruments that give investors the right to purchase a company's stock at a set price, but with most or all of the purchase price paid upfront. They function like a coupon or gift card for stock, allowing investors to buy shares later at a fixed price, which can be beneficial if they want to avoid future price increases. This makes them important for investors seeking flexibility and certainty in their investment plans.
registration statement on form f-10regulatory
A registration statement on Form F-10 is a standardized filing used to register and offer securities to investors in Canada, combining the required prospectus disclosure with ongoing public reporting information from eligible issuers. It matters to investors because it provides a single, organized source of verified financial and business details they need to judge the risks and value of an offering—similar to a product label that lists ingredients and warnings before purchase—and signals the company can legally sell shares in that market.
multijurisdictional disclosure systemregulatory
A multijurisdictional disclosure system is a regulatory framework that lets a company file one set of official documents and have them accepted by regulators in multiple countries, rather than preparing separate filings for each place. For investors, it means faster, more consistent access to a company’s financial reports and material news across borders, reducing delays and making it easier to compare information the way a single, shared form simplifies multiple applications.
related party transactionregulatory
A related party transaction is any deal or transfer of value between a company and people or entities with close ties to it — such as executives, major owners, family members, or affiliated businesses. Investors watch these transactions because they can favor insiders over outside shareholders, skirt fair market pricing, or hide risks; like selling your car to a relative at a friendly price, they require clear disclosure and scrutiny to judge impact on value.
material change reportregulatory
A material change report is a public notice that a company must file and share whenever new information or an event is significant enough to likely influence an investor’s decision. Think of it like an urgent update board that tells shareholders about big shifts—such as major deals, leadership changes, sudden losses, or legal issues—so investors can reassess risk and value with the same facts everyone else has.
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Satellos Bioscience Inc. (Nasdaq: MSLE, TSX: MSCL) (“Satellos” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing life-improving medicines to treat degenerative muscle diseases, today announced that it has completed its previously-announced underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 5,168,019 common shares, which includes the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase an additional 712,574 common shares and, in lieu of common shares for certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase 495,049 common shares. The common shares were sold at a price of US$10.10 per share (C$13.81 per common share) and the pre-funded warrants were sold at a price of US$10.09999 per pre-funded warrant (C$13.80999 per pre-funded warrant), which represents the per share price for the common shares less the C$0.00001 per share exercise price for each pre-funded warrant. The total gross proceeds to the Company were approximately US$57.2 million, before deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions.
Satellos’ common shares are dual-listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the trading symbol “MSLE” and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the trading symbol “MSCL.”
Leerink Partners, Guggenheim Securities and Oppenheimer & Co. acted as joint book-running managers for the Offering. Bloom Burton Securities Inc. acted as co-manager for the Offering.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering primarily to fund ongoing research and development activities, and for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include advancing the development of SAT-3247 through the various stages of clinical trials (Phase 2 to Phase 3) or clinical trials of SAT-3247 in other indications, and investment in other discovery stage or pre-clinical development programs (including evaluation of additional dystrophies), as set out in the Supplement (as defined below).
The Offering was made in Canada pursuant to a prospectus supplement (the “Supplement”) to the Company’s short form base shelf prospectus dated October 29, 2025 (the “Base Prospectus”), and in the United States pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-10, as it may be amended from time to time, containing the Supplement and Base Prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System established between Canada and the United States.

The subscription for common shares by Franklin Berger is a related party transaction within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. The subscription by such insider is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements applicable to related party transactions on the basis that the value of the transactions insofar as they involve related parties is less than 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. No other insiders of the Company participated in the Offering. The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the Offering. A material change report in respect of the related party transaction could not be filed earlier than 21 days prior to the closing of the Offering due to the limited time between the commitment by such insider to purchase the subject common shares and the closing of the Offering.

ABOUT SATELLOS BIOSCIENCE INC.
Satellos is a clinical-stage drug development company focused on restoring natural muscle repair and regeneration in degenerative muscle diseases. Through its research, Satellos has developed SAT-3247, a first-of-its-kind, orally administered small molecule drug designed to address deficits in muscle repair and regeneration. SAT-3247 targets AAK1, a key protein that Satellos has identified as capable of helping restore muscle stem cell signaling that is disrupted in DMD. By addressing the loss of dystrophin-dependent cues, SAT-3247 may re-establish the signals that support effective muscle regeneration. SAT-3247 is currently in clinical development as a potential disease-modifying treatment, initially for DMD. Satellos is also working to identify additional muscle diseases or injury conditions where restoring muscle repair and regeneration may have therapeutic benefit and represent future clinical development opportunities.
