April 22, 2025 08:15 ET  | Source: CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERO) (“CERo”), an innovative immunotherapy company seeking to advance the next generation of engineered T cell therapeutics that employ phagocytic mechanisms, announces that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement for the issuance and sale of securities under a new convertible preferred stock transaction. The gross proceeds to CERo from the offering are expected to be up to $8 million, including $5 million expected to be received through the investment of securities at the first closing, and up to $3 million of cash that may be funded at one or more additional closings, at the election of the investors.  CERo intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to take advantage of the two recent FDA IND allowances in liquid and solid tumors and complete the previously announced site activation at MDACC, as well as bring other sites online quickly.  The proceeds will also help to address current Nasdaq deficiencies around Shareholders Equity and extend cash on hand to maintain operations and extend runway.  “On the heels of our recent announcements anticipating the imminent dosing of our first AML patient at MD Anderson Cancer Center and the IND allowance in solid tumors, we are gratified by the support we have received from investors and look forward to continued execution and progress,” said Chris Ehrlich, Chief Executive Officer. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. About CERo Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.CERo is an innovative immunotherapy company advancing the development of next generation engineered T cell therapeutics for the treatment of cancer. Its proprietary approach to T cell engineering, which enables it to integrate certain desirable characteristics of both innate and adaptive immunity into a single therapeutic construct, is designed to engage the body’s full immune repertoire to achieve optimized cancer therapy. This novel cellular immunotherapy platform is expected to redirect patient-derived T cells to eliminate tumors by building in engulfment pathways that employ phagocytic mechanisms to destroy cancer cells, creating what CERo refers to as Chimeric Engulfment Receptor T cells (“CER-T”). CERo believes the differentiated activity of CER-T cells will afford them greater therapeutic application than currently approved chimeric antigen receptor (“CAR-T”) cell therapy, as the use of CER-T may potentially span both hematological malignancies and solid tumors. CERo anticipates initiating clinical trials for its lead product candidate, CER-1236, in 2025 for hematological malignancies.
