ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

 

This Prospectus Supplement is being filed to amend and update the “Selling Stockholders” table and applicable footnote of the Prospectus to reflect a transfer 566,245 of the Company’s shares from BioXcel LLC to BioXcel Holdings, Inc. that occurred on May 29, 2024 (the “Transfer”). This Prospectus Supplement is not increasing the number of shares being offered under the Prospectus, but only reflecting the transfer of shares of common stock previously registered.

 

The Transfer is being executed as part of a process for certain minority investors in BioXcel LLC and BioXcel Holdings, Inc. to acquire their pro rata portion of shares of the Company owned by BioXcel (the “Redemption”). None of the minority investors are, or have ever been, directors or officers of the Company.

 

Following the Transfer, BioXcel LLC intends to sell an aggregate of 252,028 shares pursuant to the Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus from time to time (each sale, a “Tax Sale”) to fund the payment of certain tax obligations in connection with the Redemption. In connection with each Tax Sale, BioXcel Holdings, Inc. intends to transfer a proportionate number of the Company’s shares, up to an aggregate of 566,245 shares, to its minority investors as part of a redemption transaction whereby such minority investors will surrender their interest in BioXcel Holdings, Inc.

 

After giving effect to the Transfer of 566,245 shares and the Tax Sales of 252,028 shares by BioXcel LLC, BioXcel LLC will own 7,685,501 shares, representing approximately 22.9% of the Company’s outstanding shares as of March 31, 2024. Following the completion of the distribution of 566,245 shares by BioXcel Holdings, Inc. as part of the Redemption, BioXcel Holdings, Inc. will own no shares of common stock.
