[424B5] FENNEC PHARMACEUTICALS INC. Prospectus Supplement (Debt Securities)
Fennec Pharmaceuticals Inc. is offering 4,666,667 common shares at $7.50 per share in an underwritten public offering, for gross proceeds of $35,000,003 and estimated net proceeds of $32,400,002 before the underwriters’ option. The company has granted underwriters a 30‑day option to buy up to 700,000 additional shares. A concurrent non‑brokered LIFE offering in Canada may raise up to an additional $5,025,000 but is not registered under this prospectus. Fennec plans to use the combined proceeds primarily to repurchase and redeem its Petrichor convertible notes for about $21,729,455 and apply any remaining funds to working capital and general corporate purposes. Following this offering and the Concurrent LIFE Offering, 33,453,496 common shares will be outstanding, or 34,153,496 if the option is fully exercised, compared with 28,116,829 shares outstanding as of November 12, 2025.
- Substantial debt and interest reduction: Company plans to use approximately $21,729,455 of offering and Concurrent LIFE Offering proceeds to repurchase and redeem outstanding Petrichor convertible notes on or before November 19, 2025, eliminating principal and accrued PIK and cash interest tied to this term loan.
- Balance sheet strengthening: Pro forma figures as of September 30, 2025 show cash and cash equivalents increasing from $21,947 thousand to $59,104 thousand and stockholders’ equity moving from a $(4,492) thousand deficit to positive $32,665 thousand after the equity raise and concurrent financing.
- Significant shareholder dilution: Shares outstanding are expected to rise from 28,116,829 as of November 12, 2025 to 33,453,496 after the offering and Concurrent LIFE Offering (or 34,153,496 if the underwriters’ option is fully exercised), and the company estimates immediate dilution of $6.52 per share to new investors at the $7.50 offering price.
- Additional dilution risk from future issuances: The company highlights that further dilution may result from the Concurrent LIFE Offering, potential exercises of 5,914,352 stock options, 245,500 PSUs, 407,475 RSUs, 110,996 warrants and 1,932,673 shares reserved under the equity incentive plan as of September 30, 2025.

What is Fennec Pharmaceuticals (FENC) offering in this prospectus supplement?
Fennec Pharmaceuticals is offering 4,666,667 common shares at a public offering price of $7.50 per share, for gross proceeds of $35,000,003. The underwriters also have a 30‑day option to purchase up to 700,000 additional common shares at the same price, less underwriting discounts and commissions.
How will Fennec (FENC) use the proceeds from this equity offering and the Concurrent LIFE Offering?
The company intends that the first use of proceeds from this offering and the Concurrent LIFE Offering will be to repurchase and redeem the Petrichor Notes on or before November 19, 2025 for approximately $21,729,455. Any remaining net proceeds will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
What is the Concurrent LIFE Offering mentioned by Fennec Pharmaceuticals?
The Concurrent LIFE Offering is a non-brokered Canadian offering of common shares to certain existing institutional shareholders, on the same price terms as this U.S. offering, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,025,000. These shares are offered under a Canadian listed issuer financing exemption and are not registered under this prospectus; Fennec expects to register them in a separate prospectus supplement.
How will this offering affect Fennec’s (FENC) shares outstanding?
Based on 28,116,829 common shares outstanding as of November 12, 2025, Fennec expects to have 33,453,496 common shares outstanding after this offering and the Concurrent LIFE Offering, or 34,153,496 shares if the underwriters’ option is fully exercised.
What dilution do new investors in Fennec’s offering face?
Using figures as of September 30, 2025, Fennec estimates an as adjusted net tangible book value of about $0.98 per share after this offering and the Concurrent LIFE Offering. At the $7.50 offering price, this represents immediate dilution of approximately $6.52 per share to new investors.
What are the underwriting fees and net proceeds to Fennec Pharmaceuticals?
The underwriters will receive discounts and commissions of $0.525 per share, or $2,450,000 in total without exercising the option (and $2,817,500 with full exercise). Fennec expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $32,400,002 without the option, or $37,282,502 if the option is fully exercised, before expenses.
Does Fennec Pharmaceuticals (FENC) plan to pay dividends after this offering?
No. Fennec states that it intends to retain earnings, if any, to finance the growth and development of its business and does not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
