Newly issued preferred stock convertible at a minimum of $1.00 per share, with leak-out provisions, no warrants and a 9-month lock up

Laboratory Services acquisition expected to close within 30 days

FREEHOLD, N.J., Dec. 14, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Avalon GloboCare Corp. (“Avalon” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALBT), a leading global developer of innovative cell-based technologies and therapeutics and laboratory testing provider, today announced that the Company completed a private placement of shares of its Series A preferred stock with the Company’s Chairman, Daniel Lu. The gross proceeds of the offering were $4.0 million, which is in addition to the previously announced private placement of $5 million of Series A preferred stock, all of which will be used to pay a portion of the purchase price for the announced acquisition of Laboratory Services MSO, LLC. As previously announced, the Company’s Series A preferred stock is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at price per share equal to the greater of $1.00 or 90% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the day prior to conversion. All holders of the Series A preferred stock will be restricted from selling the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A preferred stock for a period of 9 months and will be limited to selling no more than 10% of their shares of common stock in any calendar month.

As announced on November 8, 2022, the Company signed a definitive acquisition agreement to acquire a 60% interest in Laboratory Services MSO, LLC, a premier reference laboratory headquartered in Costa Mesa, California. The Company intends to raise an additional $6.0 million through the sale of additional shares of Series A preferred stock based on the same terms and conditions as the prior private placements in order to fund the remaining portion of the purchase price to consummate the closing of the transaction.

“We are grateful for our Chairman’s continued support, as illustrated by his personal participation in this private placement,” stated David Jin, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Avalon GloboCare. “We believe that the expected Laboratory Services acquisition will be a truly transformative acquisition for Avalon, as it brings significant revenue and positive cash flow, which we believe will be highly accretive to earnings, while adding strong clinical synergies to the existing Avalon portfolio. We are working diligently to close this transaction, which we expect to complete within the next 30 days.”

A more complete description of the terms of the private placement and related matters will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which report will be available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
