The company sold over 1.2 million shares of common stock and issued warrants for additional shares, priced at $1.09 each. The proceeds are intended to support the commercial launch of LYMPHIR, a treatment for relapsed or refractory Stage I-III CTCL, and for general corporate purposes. The offering was facilitated by H.C. Wainwright & Co., and the company plans to file a registration statement with the SEC for the resale of shares.

offering reflects investor confidence in the company's strategic direction and its ability to penetrate the oncology market. The funds will aid in expanding the company's market presence and enhancing its competitive positioning through robust intellectual property protections and strategic partnerships.
What's Next?
Citius Oncology plans to focus on the commercialization of LYMPHIR and explore strategic partnerships to expand its market reach. The company will also work on securing stockholder approval for the exercise of warrants and continue to strengthen its financial position. The success of LYMPHIR's launch and its acceptance in the market will be pivotal in determining the company's future growth and sustainability.
