SWK Holdings Corporation Announces Filing of Form S-3 Shelf Registration Statement

 

Authorizes 10b5-1 Stock Repurchase Program 

 

DALLAS, May 19, 2022 – SWK Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq: SWKH) (“SWK” or the “Company”), a life science focused specialty finance company catering to small- and mid-sized commercial-stage companies, announced today that it has filed a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Once declared effective by the SEC, SWK may from time to time issue various types of securities, including common stock, preferred stock, senior or unsecured debt securities and/or warrants, up to an aggregate amount of $200 million. Among other things, the Company is exploring issuing senior and/or unsecured debt under the registration statement, though at this time, there is no guarantee that the Company will pursue or complete a debt offering.

 

SWK also announced today that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to an aggregate of $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock from time-to-time until May 15, 2023, through a “10b5-1 trading plan” in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the program will depend on several factors, including the constraints specified in the 10b5-1 trading plan, price, and general market conditions. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the trading plan.

 

“We believe this shelf registration statement positions SWK to efficiently capitalize our balance sheet and continue growing our core specialty finance business to help life sciences companies fulfill their growth capital needs,” CEO Winston Black said. “Additionally, we continue to view the repurchase of our shares as an attractive and prudent use of our capital that is in the best interests of our stockholders.”

 

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities law of any such state. Any offering of the securities covered under the shelf registration statement will be made solely by means of a prospectus and an accompanying prospectus supplement relating to that offering. A copy of the prospectus included in the registration statement may be obtained on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
