FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Aug. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), a developer of proprietary technologies for managing animal pest populations through fertility control, announced today that the subscription period for the Company's rights offering (the "Rights Offering") expired on Wednesday, August 8, 2018 and the rights distributed in the Rights Offering are no longer exercisable. The Company estimates that the Rights Offering will result in approximately $6.1 million in gross proceeds. The results of the Rights Offering and SenesTech's estimates regarding the aggregate gross proceeds of the Rights Offering to be received by SenesTech are subject to finalization and verification by SenesTech and its subscription agent.

"I am pleased that the Rights Offering will result in gross proceeds in excess of the $4-6 million we were seeking to invest in the commercialization of ContraPest® and capitalize on our opportunities in California and Hawaii. We can now proceed with targeted product promotion, further product development and label expansion," said Dr. Loretta P. Mayer, CEO and co-founder of SenesTech.

SenesTech expects the Rights Offering will close on or about August 14, 2018 subject to satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to closing. Upon the closing, the subscription agent will distribute, by way of direct registration in book-entry form or through the facilities of DTC, as applicable, shares of the Company's Common Stock and warrants to purchase common stock to holders who validly exercised their rights and paid the subscription price in full. No physical stock or warrant certificates will be issued.

Each right entitled the holder to purchase one unit, at a subscription price of $1.15 per unit.  Each unit consisted of one share of the Company's common stock and one warrant. Each warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.15 per share from the date issuance until its expiration 5 years from the date of issuance.
