On December 28, 2021, as a result of the most recent exercises of (a) warrants issued in Biofrontera Inc.’s (the “Company”) initial public offering which closed on November 2, 2021 and (b) pre-funded warrants issued to a single institutional investor in a private placement (the “Private Placement”) previously reported on the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 3, 2021, the ownership of the Company’s shares by Biofrontera AG fell below 50% and the Company ceased to qualify as a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. Accordingly, the Company will comply with the phase-in schedule for Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.
As of December 28, 2021, the total number of the Company’s outstanding shares is 17,104,749 and Biofrontera AG holds approximately 47% of the Company’s outstanding shares. Approximately 1,492,394 warrants issued in the initial public offering and 2,857,143 warrants issued in the Private Placement remain unexercised.
