Transaction Information
Bionano Genomics (NASDAQ: BNGO), a genome analysis company that provides tools and services based on its Saphyr® system to scientists and clinicians conducting genetic research and patient testing, has closed an underwritten public offering of 54,546,000 shares of its common stock (or pre-funded warrants to purchase common stock in lieu thereof) and common warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 54,546,000 shares of common stock.

Each share of common stock and, as applicable, each pre-funded warrant were sold together with a common warrant to purchase one share of common stock at a combined effective price to the public of $0.33 per share and accompanying common warrant. For each pre-funded warrant Bionano sold, the number of shares of common stock Bionano offered were decreased on a one-for-one basis. The common warrants were immediately exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share of common stock and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

The shares of common stock or the pre-funded warrants, and the accompanying common warrants, could only be purchased together in the offering but will be issued separately and are immediately separable upon issuance. The resulting gross proceeds to Bionano from the offering are approximately $18 million, and exclude any proceeds that may be received upon exercise of the common warrants.

Bionano anticipates using the proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including working capital, sales and marketing activities, general and administrative matters and capital expenditures.

ROTH Capital Partners acted as lead manager for the offering.
