Jasper Therapeutics Announces Commencement of
an Offer to Purchase Outstanding Warrants
REDWOOD CITY, Calif., October 7, 2026 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) – Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: JSPR) (“Jasper” or the “Company”), a clinical stage biotechnology
company focused on the design and development of innovative therapies to treat immune-mediated diseases, today reported that it has commenced
an offer to purchase (the “Offer”) any and all of its outstanding warrants to purchase shares of its common stock, par value
$0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), that were issued in its underwritten public offering on September 18, 2025 (the “Warrants”).
The purchase price is $0.324 in cash per Warrant, without interest (the “Offer Purchase Price”). The purpose of the Offer
is to reduce the number of shares of Common Stock that would become outstanding upon the exercise of the Warrants, thereby reducing the
potential dilutive impact of the Warrants, and providing shareholders and prospective investors greater certainty as to the Company’s
capital structure. Warrants tendered in the Offer will be retired and cancelled.
Each Warrant lets its holder buy one share of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $2.92, subject to adjustment. Holders may tender as few or as many of their Warrants as they choose.
Holders may also exercise their Warrants during the Offer Period in accordance with the terms of the Warrants. Warrants that are not tendered
will remain outstanding on their original terms and will expire in accordance with those terms at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March 18,
2030.
The Offer will be open until one minute after
11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 6, 2026, unless the Company extends it or terminates it earlier (the “Expiration Date”).
Holders may withdraw tendered Warrants at any time before the Expiration Date. The Offer is not conditioned on a minimum number of Warrants
being tendered. It is subject to certain customary conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the absence of any legal action,
governmental order or material adverse change that, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, would prohibit, restrict or delay the
Offer or materially impair its contemplated benefits. Subject to applicable law, the Company may waive these conditions or extend, amend
or terminate the Offer. Promptly after the Expiration Date, the Company will pay the Offer Purchase Price for Warrants that were validly
tendered and not withdrawn. If all outstanding Warrants are tendered, the Company would expect to pay out approximately $4.0 million,
which will be funded from cash on hand.
The Offer is being made under an Offer to Purchase
dated October 7, 2026, and a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO dated October 7, 2026. Both are being filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and set out the full terms and conditions of the Offer.
The Company’s Common Stock is listed on
The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC under the symbols “JSPR”. As of October 6, 2026, there were 12,345,707 Warrants outstanding.
The Company has not hired a dealer manager, information
agent or depositary for the Offer. Questions about tender procedures and requests for additional copies of the offer materials, including
the Letter of Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, should be sent to Matthew Ros, the Company’s Chief Operating Officer,
at Jasper Therapeutics, Inc., 2200 Bridge Pkwy, Suite #102, Redwood City, CA 94065, by telephone at (650) 549-1400 or by email at kira@argotpartners.com.
