Delcath Systems Announces Rights Offering and Backstop Commitment Ownership Date of August 1, 2018

NEW YORK, July 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Delcath Systems, Inc. (OTCQB:DCTH), an interventional oncology company focused on the treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancers, today announced that it has filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC for a rights offering for up to 28,571,429 shares of common stock at the subscription price of $1.75 per share. Under the terms of the rights offering, on August 3, 2018, Delcath expects to distribute, at no charge, 500 non-transferable subscription rights to purchase shares of its common stock to holders of record for each share of common stock held on the record date, and to holders of its warrants to purchase common stock held on the Ownership Date, as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on Wednesday, August 1, 2018. Each basic subscription right will entitle the holder of record to purchase one share of common stock at the subscription price of $1.75 per share. Holders as of the record date that exercise their basic subscription rights in full will also have an over-subscription privilege, pursuant to which they may subscribe to purchase additional shares at the subscription price to the extent that not all basic subscription rights are exercised, subject to certain limitations and as more fully described in a prospectus relating to the rights offering. The subscription rights will be exercisable until 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on August 27, 2018, unless extended.

Delcath has entered into a backstop commitment with an institutional investor which provides for its purchase of shares of common stock that are not subscribed for in the rights offering pursuant to stockholders’ exercise of their basic subscription rights and over-subscription privilege at the subscription price and otherwise on the same terms as the shares offered to stockholders in the rights offering. Within two business days following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions contained in the backstop agreement, and each successive 15 business day period thereafter during the term of the agreement, the investor has agreed to purchase up to the number of Delcath shares equal to the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 worth of shares or (ii) 20% of the dollar trading volume of the common stock on the OTCQB marketplace on the five business days immediately preceding the purchase date. The backstop agreement will terminate on or before June 30, 2019. The terms of the rights offering and the backstop agreement are described in Delcath Systems’ registration statement on Form S-1, which has been filed with the SEC and can be found at https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?CIK=dcth&owner=exclude&action=getcompany.
