On October 11, 2023, Athersys entered into a warrant exercise inducement offer letter (the "Inducement Letter") with a holder of certain existing warrants ("Holder") to receive new warrants to purchase up to a number of shares of common stock equal to 200% (the "Inducement Warrants") of the number of warrant shares issued pursuant to the exercise of such certain existing warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the "Existing Warrants") pursuant to which the Holder agreed to exercise for cash their Existing Warrants to purchase up to 28,124,590 shares of the Company's common stock, at a reduced exercise price of $0.1395 per share (the "Reduced Exercise Price"). The closing of this transaction occurred on October 16, 2023. The Company engaged A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners ("AGP") to act as its financial advisor in connection with the transactions summarized above and will pay AGP a fee of $275,000.
On October 12, 2023, the Company received a payment of $1.5 million per the recently executed Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") with Healios for global rights to develop and commercialize MultiStem for the treatment of ARDS. Under the terms of the MOU, Athersys expects to receive additional near-term payments totaling between $1.5 million and $3 million and may receive up to $150 million in potential development and sales milestones and additional royalties.
Net proceeds from the exercise of the Existing Warrants and the ARDS license with Healios will extend the Company's liquidity to continue to explore strategic alternatives.
Athersys has engaged Outcome Capital ("Outcome"), a life sciences and healthcare advisory and strategic investment banking firm, to assist the Company with evaluating strategic alternatives, which could include, without limitation, exploring the potential for a possible merger, business combination, investment into the Company, or a purchase, license, or other acquisition of assets with the goal of maximizing shareholder value. This process may not result in any transaction and the Company does not intend to disclose additional details unless and until it has entered into a specific transaction. However, in the event Athersys is unable to enter into a strategic transaction or obtain adequate financing, it expects to have to file for protection under the bankruptcy laws to allow the Company to conduct an orderly wind down of operations.
About MultiStem&#xAE;
MultiStem&#xAE; (invimestrocel) cell therapy is a patented regenerative medicine product in clinical development that has shown the ability to promote tissue repair and healing in a variety of ways, such as through the production of therapeutic factors in response to signals of inflammation and tissue damage. MultiStem&#xAE; therapy's potential for multidimensional therapeutic impact distinguishes it from traditional biopharmaceutical therapies focused on a single mechanism of benefit. The therapy represents a unique "off-the-shelf" stem cell product that can be manufactured in a scalable manner, may be stored for years in frozen form and is administered without tissue matching or the need for immune suppression. Based upon its efficacy profile, its novel mechanisms of action and a favorable and consistent tolerability demonstrated in clinical studies, we believe that MultiStem&#xAE; therapy could provide a meaningful benefit to patients, including those suffering from serious diseases and conditions with unmet medical need.

Athersys, Inc. Shares To Resume Trade At 9:00 a.m. ET

The MOU includes $1.5M to $4.5M near term payments plus up to $150M in milestones
Athersys, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ATHX#NASDAQ">ATHX</a>), a cell therapy and regenerative medicine company developing MultiStem&#xAE; (invimestrocel) for critical care indications, announces that the independent data safety monitoring board (DSMB) has completed a pre-planned interim analysis of the Company's ongoing Phase 3 MASTERS-2 pivotal clinical trial evaluating MultiStem&#xAE; for the treatment of acute moderate-to-severe ischemic stroke, and concluded that the current sample size of 300 patients is insufficiently powered to achieve the primary endpoint of mRS Shift analysis at Day 365. There were no safety issues identified. Because the sample size required to achieve statistical significance is considerably larger, Athersys intends to conduct additional data analysis with independent statisticians. The Company plans to pause enrollment of new patients while this analysis is being conducted.
Separately, Athersys announces that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) granting HEALIOS K.K. (Healios) global rights to develop and commercialize MultiStem for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Under the terms of the MOU, Athersys will receive between $1.5M and $4.5M in near term payments with up to $150 million in potential development and sales milestones and additional royalties. Athersys also expects to receive revenue from the sale of existing clinical doses of MultiStem-- which were manufactured in accordance with its 3D bioreactor process that earlier this year received approval from Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA)--for Healios to use in its Phase 3 clinical trial in ARDS.
Athersys intends to continue exploring available strategic options. However, in the event Athersys is unable in the near-term to enter into a strategic transaction or obtain adequate financing, it expects to have to file for protection under the bankruptcy laws to allow the Company to conduct an orderly wind down of operations. In the interim, the Company is streamlining its operations to preserve its capital and cash resources.
"I'd like to thank the many patients, clinicians and vendors that have supported this pivotal phase 3 trial since its start in 2018. We're disappointed with the results of the unblinded interim analysis indicating a large sample size adjustment would be required to achieve our primary endpoint. We intend to conduct further analysis to better understand these results. The new MOU we've signed with Healios for ARDS provides the company near-term capital and the potential for meaningful milestone payments as we continue to pursue various strategic solutions," said Dan Camardo, Chief Executive Officer of Athersys.
About MultiStem&#xAE;
MultiStem&#xAE; (invimestrocel) cell therapy is a patented regenerative medicine product in clinical development that has shown the ability to promote tissue repair and healing in a variety of ways, such as through the production of therapeutic factors in response to signals of inflammation and tissue damage. MultiStem therapy's potential for multidimensional therapeutic impact distinguishes it from traditional biopharmaceutical therapies focused on a single mechanism of benefit. The therapy represents a unique "off-the-shelf" stem cell product that can be manufactured in a scalable manner, may be stored for years in frozen form, and is administered without tissue matching or the need for immune suppression. Based upon its efficacy profile, its novel mechanisms of action, and a favorable and consistent tolerability demonstrated in clinical studies, we believe that MultiStem therapy could provide a meaningful benefit to patients, including those suffering from serious diseases and conditions with unmet medical need.

Athersys Reports Interim Analysis Results Of MASTERS-2 Clinical Study With MultiStem In Ischemic Stroke, Signs Memorandum Of Understanding For Global ARDS License With Healios; Includes $1.5M To $4.5M Near Term Payments Plus Up To $150M In Milestones

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Athersys&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/athx-stock-quote/">ATHX</a>) stock is falling on Friday after the biotechnology company announced a <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230817444406/en/Athersys-Inc.-Announces-Pricing-of-3.5-Million-Public-Offering">public stock offering</a>.
That public offering has Athersys selling 10,937,500 shares of ATHX stock for a price of 32 cents each. To go along with this, the company is issuing 10,937,500 units of Series A warrants and 10,937,500 units of Series B warrants. The warrants each have an exercise price of 32 cents.
According to Athersys, it expects this public stock offering to raise $3.5 million in gross proceeds. The company says that it intends to use this money for general corporate purposes. This offering closes on Monday.
<h2>How This Affects ATHX Stock</h2>
With this public stock offering, Athersys is increasing its total number of outstanding shares. A side effect of that is it dilutes the stakes of current investors in the company. That&rsquo;s one reason it has ATXH stock down today.
In addition to that, the shares priced at 32 cents are below their prior closing price of 39 cents. That means the public offering price is a discount to the current trading price. This is another reason the offering is weighing on ATXH stock.
Today&rsquo;s news also brings with it heavy trading of ATHX shares. As of this writing, more than 365,000 shares of the stock have changed hands. That&rsquo;s already above its daily average trading volume of about 237,000 shares.
ATHX stock is down 35.7% as of Friday morning.

Why Is Athersys (ATHX) Stock Down 36% Today?

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Applied Materials (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/amat-stock-quote/">AMAT</a>) stock is climbing higher on Friday after getting new price targets following its latest earnings report.
Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore starts us off by increasing his price target for AMT stock from <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/news/4004301-applied-materials-rises-as-wall-street-praises-strength-in-trailing-edge-nodes">$125 per share to $139 per share</a>.

Next is J.P. Morgan analyst Harlan Sur raising his price target for AMT stock from $145 per share to $165 per share. This comes alongside an &ldquo;overweight&rdquo; rating for the semiconductor company&rsquo;s shares.
Bank of America also joined the price target increase spree for AMAT stock. This saw the firm&rsquo;s analysts setting a <a href="https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/AMAT/price-target/">new price target of $175 per share</a>, as compared to the prior price target of $165 per share.
Finally, Berenberg Bank is the last firm we&rsquo;re covering today increasing their price target for AMAT shares. Its analysts raised their price target for the company&rsquo;s shares from $150 each to $175 each.
<h2>What To Expect From AMAT Stock</h2>
With all of these new price targets in place, investors might wonder about the overall stance on AMAT stock. The current analysts&rsquo; consensus price prediction for the company&rsquo;s shares is $147.12. That comes with a consensus rating of &ldquo;moderate buy&rdquo; based on 28 opinions.
