CorMedix Announces Effectiveness of Registration Statements for Shares Underlying Publicly Traded Warrants
BEDMINSTER, N.J., March 20, 2015 -- CorMedix Inc. (NYSE MKT: CRMD), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of cardiac, renal and infectious diseases, today announced that the registration statements for the shares of its common stock underlying its publicly traded warrants with CUSIP number (No.21900C118) have both been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Holders of publicly traded warrants who wish to exercise their warrants will receive freely tradable shares of common stock upon presentation of a properly completed exercise notice and full payment for exercise. As previously reported, the expiration date for these publicly traded warrants is April 30, 2015.
As previously disclosed, the Company issued two tranches of warrants in 2010 with the same CUSIP number (No.21900C118). The first tranche of warrants were purchased for cash in connection with the Company's initial public offering of common stock in 2010, and may be exercised at the specified exercise price in exchange for registered, freely tradable shares of common stock issued pursuant to a currently effective registration statement. The Company filed a post-effective amendment to the registration statement after filing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K last week.
The second tranche of warrants was also issued in 2010 to a select group of investors in exchange for debt issued prior to the Company's initial public offering. The holders of these warrants may now exercise and receive in exchange shares of registered common stock. The Company filed a registration statement for the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the second tranche of warrants after filing last week of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Holders of CorMedix warrants should contact the Company's transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, at the number set forth below for assistance.
