EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 24, 2024 (together with any amendments and supplements thereto, including this Amendment, the “Schedule TO”) relating to the offer (the “Offer”) by TriSalus Life Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “us” or “we”), to each holder of each class of Warrants (as defined in Item 2(b) of the Schedule TO), consisting of the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and Working Capital Warrants (each as defined in Item 2(b) of the Schedule TO) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, does not relate to any warrants issued by the Company to OrbiMed Royalty & Credit Opportunities IV, LP (“OrbiMed”) in connection with that certain Credit Agreement between us and OrbiMed), to receive 0.3 shares of the Company’s common stock par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”) in exchange for every outstanding Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the Offer. The Offer is made upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, dated May 24, 2024 (the “Prospectus/Offer to Exchange”), a copy of which is filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(A), and in the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent, a copy of which is filed with the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(B).

 

Concurrently with the Offer, we solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of the Warrants to amend the Warrant Agreement (such amendment, the “Warrant Amendment”), dated as of December 17, 2020, by and between MedTech Acquisition Corporation and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to permit the Company to require that each Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Offer be converted into 0.27 shares of Common Stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Offer, in accordance with the Warrant Amendment. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, certain amendments including the Warrant Amendment, require the vote or written consent of holders of at least a majority of the then outstanding (i) Public Warrants, (ii) Private Placement Warrants with respect to modifications or amendments that apply to the Private Placement Warrants or any provision of the Warrant Agreement with respect to the Private Placement Warrants, including the Warrant Amendment, and (iii) Working Capital Warrants with respect to modifications or amendments that apply to the Working Capital Warrants or any provision of the Warrant Agreement with respect to the Working Capital Warrants, including the Warrant Amendment. As a result, in order to amend the Warrant Agreement with respect to the (i) Public Warrants, consent of a majority of the Public Warrants is required and (ii) the Private Placement Warrants or the Working Capital Warrants, consent of a majority of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants is required, depending on the class amended.

 

The purpose of this Amendment is to amend and supplement the Schedule TO to (i) update Item 11 of the Schedule TO to report the final results of the Offer, and (ii) update Item 12 of the Schedule TO to (a) include the final Prospectus/Offer to Exchange, dated June 25, 2024, which forms part of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-279691) (“Registration Statement”), declared effective by the SEC on June 25, 2024 and (b) a press release issued by the Company on June 26, 2024, announcing the results of the Offer and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

 

Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment. Except as specifically provided herein, the information in the Schedule TO, the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and in the related Letter of Transmittal and Consent, including all schedules and exhibits thereto, remains unchanged. This Amendment should be read with the Schedule TO, the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange and the Letter of Transmittal and Consent. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule TO.

 

Item 11.Additional Information.

 

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding at the end thereof the following text:

 

The Offer and Consent Solicitation expired at one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on June 25, 2024. The Company has been advised that the Warrants tendered were comprised of 6,533,614 Public Warrants (including 9,185 Public Warrants tendered through guaranteed delivery), 504,685 Private Placement Warrants, and 0 Working Capital Warrants, which represents approximately 78.89%, 10.23% and 0.00% of the outstanding Warrants of each respective class, were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Company expects to accept all validly tendered Warrants for exchange and settlement on or before July 1, 2024. In addition, pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the requisite approval to satisfy the Public Warrant Consent Threshold. The Company did not receive the approvals necessary to satisfy the Private Placement Warrant Consent Threshold or the Working Capital Warrant Consent Threshold. As a result, the Warrant Amendment was approved with respect to the Public Warrants but not the Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants. Accordingly, on June 26, 2024, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into the Warrant Amendment with respect to the Public Warrants. The Warrant Amendment has no effect on either the Private Placement Warrants or Working Capital Warrants outstanding upon the closing of the Offer.
