InVivo Therapeutics Raises $16.1 Million from Warrant Call and Exercises Paving Way for Up-Listing to a National Securities Exchange

InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (NVIV), a developer of groundbreaking technologies for the treatment of spinal cord injuries (SCI) and other neurotrauma conditions, announced today that the call notice period for the early exercise of warrants issued to investors on October 26, 2010, November 10, 2010 and December 3, 2010 (the “Investor Warrants”) expired on June 3, 2013. By the expiration of the call period, 100% of the Investor Warrants were exercised. The exercises during the call period, coupled with warrant exercises during April 2013, raised $16.1 million gross and $15.6 million after solicitation expenses. Approximately 11.5 million shares of common stock were issued in connection with these warrant exercises. The combination of the exercise of all the Investor Warrants along with the warrant exchange offer completed on May 17, 2013 for placement agent and other eligible warrants resulted in the complete reversal and elimination of the $24.6 million warrant liability recorded on InVivo’s books as of March 31, 2013. As of June 3, 2013, the Company had cash on hand of $23.6 million and total stockholders’ equity of $23.7 million, which exceeds the minimum stockholder’s equity requirements for national securities exchanges.

Said Frank Reynolds, InVivo Chief Executive Officer, “We are pleased with the addition of $15.6 million of cash from the warrant call which strengthens our balance sheet. With the resultant elimination of the $24.6 million warrant liability from our books, the last major impediment to up-listing to a national securities exchange has been removed. We expect that an up-listing to a national securities exchange will increase liquidity and unlock inherent value in our stock.”
