Form 8-K/A Filing

 

Akers Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKER) (AIM: AKR.L), ("Akers Bio" or the "Company"), a developer of rapid health information technologies, announces that on November 2, 2018, the Company closed its offering of common stock and warrants for gross proceeds of $2 million as announced on October 31, 2018 (the "Offering").

The Company will apply for admission of the 5,555,556 Common Shares issued in the Offering to trading on AIM and this is expected to take place on or around November 9, 2018 ("Admission"). Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 99,661,848 Common Shares with no Common Shares held in treasury. This figure may therefore be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.

The Company has concurrently with this announcement filed a Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission which amends the Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 31, 2018. The Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) (and Exhibits thereto) is available to view on Akers Bio's website at www.akersbio.com or on www.sec.gov and the text of the Form 8-K/A (Amendment No. 1) appears below:

(the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 31, 2018 (the "Original 8-K") to report the Company's signing of a securities purchase agreement with certain investors (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of (i) 5,555,556 shares of common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase 5,555,556 shares of common stock (the "Warrants"). The combined purchase price for one share of common stock and each Warrant is $0.36 (the "Offering"). The purpose of this 8-K/A is to report the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and to affix a copy of the opinion of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP relating to the legality of the securities offered by the Company in the Offering. Except as set forth herein, no modifications have been made to the information contained in the Original 8-K.
