POMPANO BEACH, Fla., May 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioStem Technologies Inc.(OTC: BSEM), a leading regenerative medicine company focused on the development, manufacturing, and commercialization of perinatal tissue allograft products, today announced it has entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with its first institutional investor for the purchase and sale of 746,269 shares of common stock at a price of $3.35 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2.5 million. The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.

“This transaction marks continued progress in the execution of our capital markets strategy, and, together with the previously announced debt retirement, strengthens our balance sheet” said Jason Matuszewski, Chairman and CEO of BioStem Technologies. “We expect the progress we are making toward the Nasdaq uplist and our improved capital position will provide increased flexibility to address our long-term capital needs in support of our growth plans.”

The Securities Purchase Agreement includes anti-dilution provisions that could require the Company to issue additional shares or pre-funded warrants to the investor in connection with certain future offerings of securities by the Company.

The closing of the offering is expected to occur on or about May 22, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

The offer and sale of the foregoing securities is being made in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirement under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and applicable state securities laws, and the securities have not been and will not initially be registered under the Securities Act, or applicable state securities laws. Accordingly, the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and such applicable state securities laws. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the shares of common stock and shares of common stock underlying any pre-funded warrants issued in the offering.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
