Allurion Technologies, Inc. (“Allurion” or the “Company”) (NYSE: ALUR), a company dedicated to ending obesity, today announced that it has closed its previously announced registered direct offering with institutional investors for the purchase and sale of 900,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $5.23 per share and warrants to purchase up to 1,800,000 shares of common stock in a concurrent private placement. The warrants have an exercise price of $5.23 per share and will become exercisable immediately following the date of stockholder approval and expire on the fifth anniversary of receipt of such approval. The registered direct offering of common stock and the concurrent private placement of warrants are collectively referred to as the offering herein.

In addition, the Company closed its previously announced concurrent private placement with funds affiliated with Leavitt Equity Partners for the purchase and sale of 267,686 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 535,372 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $5.23 per share and accompanying warrant.

Roth Capital Partners acted as the exclusive placement agent for the offering and the concurrent private placement with Leavitt.

The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the offering and concurrent private placement are approximately $6.1 million, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering and concurrent private placement to fund its clinical pipeline testing the effects of the combination of the Allurion Balloon and GLP-1 therapy on muscle mass and long-term GLP-1 adherence, for working capital, and for general corporate purposes.

“We are pleased to be raising this financing to support key initiatives at Allurion, including our pipeline of clinical trials related to GLP-1s,” said Dr. Shantanu Gaur, Founder & CEO of Allurion. “We believe that we can make GLP-1s a more effective, long-term therapy in combination with the Allurion Balloon.”
