Vivos Therapeutics, Inc. intends to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a proposed rights offering to raise capital for operations and general corporate purposes. The company plans to distribute transferable subscription rights to shareholders as a dividend, subject to the SEC declaring the registration statement effective. The record date is proposed to be set as the 30th day following the registration statement being declared effective by the SEC, though there is no assurance regarding the timing of effectiveness.
The rights offering includes an exercise price set at the greater of $1.25 per share or 20% above the market price on the day before the record date. Shareholders will have a nine-month period to exercise these rights, which are intended to be listed for trading on a securities exchange pending satisfaction of listing and regulatory requirements. Additionally, the offering features a subsequent "exploding" right, granting holders a similar nine-month trading right upon the exercise of the initial right.
The subsequent right carries an expected exercise price of $1.75 per share or 40% above the market price on the day before the record date, whichever is greater. This structure is designed to incentivize early participation by offering potentially more favorable terms to those who exercise their initial rights promptly. All terms remain preliminary and indicative, with final details to be set forth in the prospectus.

Completion of the offering is subject to several conditions, including the preparation and effectiveness of the registration statement, compliance with exchange rules, and the availability of authorized but unissued shares. This may require an amendment to the company's certificate of incorporation and a shareholder vote. R. Kirk Huntsman, Chief Executive Officer of Vivos Therapeutics, stated that the offering is intended to provide additional capital to support operations, though the company gave no assurance it will be commenced or completed.
