New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - April 2, 2026) - OS Therapies, Inc. (NYSE:OSTX) ("OS Therapies" or "the Company"), the world leader in gene-edited, listeria-based cancer immunotherapies, today announced it that it has completed a $5.25 million registered direct offering of common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) and warrants, with participation primarily from high-net-worth investors who have invested in several of the Company's prior financing rounds. Each investor was issued either shares of common stock at a purchase price of $1.40 per share or, in lieu thereof, pre-funded warrants at a purchase price of $1.399 per pre-funded warrant, together with one warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $1.40 per share for each share of common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the pre-funded warrants. Additional details related to the offering are included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on April 2, 2026. Ceros Financial Services, Inc. acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering.

Additionally, the Company announced that it expects to receive approximately $4 million in additional non-dilutive funds from VAT refunds and R&D reclaim funds via its wholly owned U.K. subsidiary that was established in 2025 for the purpose of conducting research & development.

"This capital raise, together with the non-dilutive funding we expect to receive from our U.K. subsidiary, is expected to support our operations as we advance toward crucial anticipated 2026 regulatory milestones for OST-HER2 in the U.S., U.K. and Europe, including early market access authorizations and potential eligibility for a Priority Review Voucher (PRV) under our Rare Pediatric Disease Designation (RPDD)," said Paul Romness, President & CEO of OS Therapies. "We are now focused on our upcoming regulatory interactions, including planned meetings later this quarter with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA), the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) to review our clinical and biomarker data, as well as our proposed confirmatory Phase 3 trial design. We are hopeful these interactions will support market access for osteosarcoma patients beginning in 2027. This funding is also expected to support the initiation of a Phase 3 confirmatory trial, including the planned activation of an initial trial site in Australia, which is part of the requirements for a Biologics License Application (BLA) under the U.S. Accelerated Approval Program (Accelerated Approval) and for Conditional Marketing Authorisations (CMAs) in the U.K. and Europe."

OST-HER2 has received Orphan Drug Designation (ODD), Fast Track Designation (FTD) and RPDD from the FDA, and ODD, FTD and ATMP from the EMA. Under the RPDD program, if the Company receives a BLA in the United States, it will become eligible to receive a PRV that it intends to sell, subject to market conditions. The most recent publicly disclosed PRV transaction occurred in February 2026 at a reported value of $205 million; however, there can be no assurance that the Company would realize a comparable value, if any, in connection with any future PRV sale. The Company is seeking to obtain a BLA under the Accelerated Approval Program for OST-HER2 in osteosarcoma in the second half of 2026.

The securities described above were offered pursuant to a "shelf" registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-289443) filed by the Company with the SEC on August 8, 2025 and declared effective by the SEC on August 25, 2025. The offering was made only by means of a prospectus, including a prospectus supplement, forming a part of the effective registration statement. The prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the securities being offered were filed with the SEC and are available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Electronic copies of the prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the securities being offered may also be obtained by contacting Ceros Financial Services, Inc. at 1445 Research Boulevard, Rockville, Maryland 20850, or e-mail Ahmed Gheith, Managing Director at Ceros at agheith@cerosfs.com.
