Marrone Bio Warrant Holders Exercise Final Tranche, Eliminating Warrant Overhang

DAVIS, Calif., Dec. 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — During November and December 2021, certain warrant holders in Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBII) completed the exercise of the fifth and final tranche of warrants, generating a total of $3.5 million in cash during the fourth quarter of 2021 and increasing the company’s outstanding shares by 4.7 million. With these exercises, and the December 15, 2021, expiration of the substantial majority of the company’s other unexercised warrants, the company’s material warrant overhang has been eliminated.

“The support of our investors through their warrant exercises has provided the company with additional financial flexibility beyond our ongoing generation of cash from operations,” said Chief Executive Officer Kevin Helash. “As a result, we have accelerated the advancement of key products in our research and development pipeline while continuing to expand our global commercial footprint.

“The elimination of the warrant overhang is a positive for our capital structure as we move into the 2022 fiscal year and agricultural growing season,” Helash added.
