AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) ("Volition") today announced that it has filed registration statements on Form S-3 and Form S-8, respectively, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The primary purpose of filing the registration statements is to significantly reduce the legal and administrative burdens, for both Volition and many of its long-standing shareholders, with respect to conducting routine transactions in its common stock by registering such shares for resale and enhancing overall liquidity.
Volition is not registering any shares to sell for itself and will not receive any proceeds from the sales of shares by the shareholders named in the registration statements but will incur expenses in connection with such registrations. However, upon the exercise of certain warrants and/or stock options exercisable for shares of common stock covered by the registration statements, Volition will receive the proceeds from such exercise in the future. Volition intends to use any such proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any such offer, solicitation or sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
About the Registration Statements
The registration statements relate to the possible offer and sale, from time to time, by the shareholders named therein, some of whom are affiliates of Volition, of up to an aggregate of 13,616,226 shares of common stock of Volition. The registration of these shares does not necessarily mean that any of the shares will be offered or sold by such shareholders.
Separate registration statements relating to these securities have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but have not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, pursuant to the registration statements prior to the time that the applicable registration statement becomes effective. Copies of the registration statements and the related prospectuses included therein may be obtained on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website located at www.sec.gov or, from Volition at 13215 Bee Cave Parkway, Suite 125, Galleria Oaks B, Austin, Texas 78738, Attention: Corporate Secretary.
The shareholders are not required to sell any shares of Volition common stock and there is no assurance that any of these shareholders will sell any or all of the shares of Volition's common stock covered by the registration statement. Volition is currently not aware of any agreements, arrangements or understandings with respect to the sale or other disposition of any of the shares covered by the registration statements.
