Insights

Rafael Holdings is raising $25M through a rights offering with guaranteed funding, strengthening their financial position for Trappsol® Cyclo™ development and potential launch.

Rafael Holdings is conducting a $25 million rights offering to support development and potential launch of Trappsol® Cyclo™, with shareholders able to purchase additional Class B shares at $1.28 per share. The company has structured the offering with specific subscription ratios - each holder of Class A or B common stock receives one non-transferable subscription right, allowing purchase of 60.3% of a share. Public warrant holders receive 35.25% of a subscription right.

What's particularly notable is the backstop commitment from Executive Chairman Howard Jonas, who will purchase any unsubscribed shares in a private placement at the same price. This effectively guarantees the full $25 million will be raised regardless of shareholder participation levels.

The rights offering runs from May 13 to May 29, 2025, giving shareholders limited time to participate. The company has taken proper regulatory steps with SEC registration becoming effective April 29, 2025. This capital raise appears strategically timed to fund the final stages of Trappsol® Cyclo™ development and potential commercialization.

This financing structure allows existing shareholders to maintain their proportional ownership while ensuring the company receives its targeted funding amount. The $1.28 subscription price and the Executive Chairman's willingness to backstop the entire offering provides meaningful insight into management's valuation expectations and confidence in the company's prospects.

NEWARK, N.J., May 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rafael Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: RFL; NYSE American: RFL-WT) today provided an update to the subscription rights related to its Public Warrants in connection with its previously announced rights offering.

Under the rights offering, Rafael Holdings has distributed one (1) non-transferable subscription right for each share of Class B common stock or Class A common stock, or for each share of Class B common stock issuable upon exercise of the outstanding warrants, initially issued on May 11, 2020 by Cyclo Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Public Warrants”), in each case, held as of May 9, 2025, the record date for the rights offering.

Each subscription right will entitle the Holder of a share of Class A common stock or Class B common stock to purchase 0.603 of a share of Class B common stock at a subscription price of $1.28 per share.

Each Holder of a Public Warrant received 0.3525 of a subscription right (corresponding to the ratio between Public Warrants and the portion of a share of Class B common stock for which each is exercisable). Accordingly, a holder of three (3) Public Warrants received a full subscription right. Each full subscription right entitles the Holder to purchase 0.603 of a share of Class B common stock at a subscription price of $1.28 per share.

Subscription rights may only be exercised in whole numbers, and fractional shares will not be issued. The number of shares that may be purchased by each holder of subscription rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

All terms of the rights offering remain unchanged.

Howard Jonas, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board will enter into a Standby Purchase Agreement with the Company pursuant to which he will purchase from the Company, in a private placement, any shares of Class B common stock not subscribed for in the proposed rights offering for the same subscription price payable by holders electing to exercise the subscription rights in the proposed rights offering.

The rights offering will be subject to certain conditions, and Rafael Holdings reserves the right to terminate the rights offering at any time prior to its expiration date.

The subscription rights are non-transferable and may only be exercised during the subscription period, which commenced on May 13, 2025, and expires 5:00 PM ET on May 29, 2025, unless extended or terminated earlier by Rafael Holdings.
