Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 10, 2025, VolitionRx Limited (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Newbridge Securities Corporation (the “Underwriter”), relating to an underwritten public offering of 11,550,000 shares (the “Closing Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), together with accompanying common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 11,550,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Closing Warrants”) at a combined offering price to the public of $0.52 per share of Common Stock and accompanying common stock warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock, including $0.01 per common stock warrant, less an underwriting commission of 7.0% (the “Offering”). Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the Underwriter a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,732,500 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares” and, together with the Closing Shares, the “Shares”) as well as accompanying common stock purchase warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,732,500 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Warrants” and collectively with the Closing Warrants, the “Warrants”) at the same price per share and accompanying warrant. The Shares and the Warrants are referred to herein as the “Securities.”
The Warrants have an exercise price of $0.60 per share, subject to adjustment as provided for therein, are exercisable immediately and are exercisable for a period of five years from the closing of the Offering. The Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance of the shares underlying the Warrants to the holder. The Company is prohibited from effecting an exercise of any Warrants to the extent that such exercise would result in the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates exceeding 4.99% (or 9.99% at election of the holder) of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, which percentage may be increased or decreased at the holder’s election not to exceed 9.99%. The Company also entered into a warrant agent agreement with the Company’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer LLC (the “Warrant Agent”), which will act as warrant agent for the Company, setting forth certain terms and conditions with respect to the Warrant Agent’s service as warrant agent for the Warrants (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”).
The Company agreed to reimburse the Underwriter for up to $100,000 of its reasonable, necessary, and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Offering, including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Underwriter.
Net proceeds to the Company from the Offering are expected to be approximately $5.4 million after deducting estimated Offering expenses payable by the Company and assuming no exercise of the Warrants. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for research and continued product development, clinical studies, product commercialization, working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potential strategic acquisitions.
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Company has also agreed to issue to the Underwriter warrants to purchase up to an aggregate 929,775 shares of common stock, or 7.0% of the number of Shares sold in the Offering, assuming the overallotment option is exercised in full (the “Underwriter Warrants”), at an exercise price of $0.63 per share. The Underwriter Warrants are in substantially the same form as the Warrants and are exercisable at any time during the period commencing six months after their issuance and expire five years after the date of the Underwriting Agreement.
The Offering is being made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Reg. No. 333-283088) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 8, 2024, as amended on April 11, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on April 18, 2025, as well as a prospectus supplement thereunder.
Certain directors and officers agreed to purchase an aggregate of 254,229 shares and accompanying warrants in the Offering on the same terms offered to the public. The Offering closed on October 14, 2025.
The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company, customary conditions to closing, indemnification obligations of the Company and the Underwriter, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), other obligations of the parties and termination provisions. The representations, warranties, and covenants contained in the Underwriting Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to such agreement.
The Underwriting Agreement, form of Closing Warrant, form of Underwriter Warrant and form of Warrant Agent Agreement are filed as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”). The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, Closing Warrant, Underwriter Warrant, and Warrant Agent Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the exhibits, which are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the opinion of Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Securities, and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the respective warrants in the Offering is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 10, 2025, the Company disclosed in a prospectus supplement relating to the Offering that, as of September 30, 2025, the Company estimates that it had approximately $0.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. The estimated cash and cash equivalents amount is preliminary and unaudited, represents management’s estimate as of October 10, 2025, is subject to completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and does not present all necessary information for a complete understanding of the Company’s financial condition as of September 30, 2025, or its results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The actual financial results may differ materially from the preliminary estimated financial information.
The information in Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 9, 2025 and October 10, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the launch and pricing of the Offering, respectively. Copies of the launch and pricing press releases are furnished hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively.
The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information contained in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
