TORONTO, ON – February 1, 2024 – Antibe Therapeutics Inc. (TSX: ATE, OTCQX: ATBPF), a clinical stage company leveraging its hydrogen sulfide platform to develop next-generation safer therapies that target inflammation, is extending the Early Warrant Exercise Incentive Program (“Early Warrant Exercise Program”) for its 6.4 million outstanding and unlisted share purchase warrants having an exercise price of $1.50 (“Exercise Price”) and expiring on July 31, 2024 (the “Warrants”).

The existing Early Warrant Exercise Program announced on December 29, 2023 is designed to encourage the early exercise of the Warrants during a 30-day early exercise period that commenced on January 16, 2024 and terminates on February 15, 2024 (the “Incentive Period”). Under the Early Warrant Exercise Program, the Company is offering a reduction in the Exercise Price from $1.50 to $1.00 to holders of the Warrants who exercise during the Incentive Period. Today’s announcement extends the termination date of the Incentive Period to March 31, 2024 (the “Extension”). After March 31, 2024, the Exercise Price of the Warrants will revert to $1.50 per common share.

“After discussions with our warrantholders, we want to offer them more time to exercise under this program,” commented Dan Legault, Antibe’s CEO. “Correspondingly, the extension supports our goals to further strengthen our balance sheet and simplify our cap table as we head into otenaproxesul’s Phase II trial – on track to launch next month.”

None of the Warrants are held by insiders of the Company.

The Toronto Stock Exchange has provided conditional approval for the Extension with an effective date of February 16, 2024.
