Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 15, 2026, BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (the “Company”) consummated a public offering of 4,327,530 units (the “Common Units”) and 1,039,196 pre-funded units (“Pre-funded Units”) for a purchase price of $5.59 per Common Unit and $5.589 per Pre-funded Unit, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $30 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of its securities for working capital requirements, general corporate purposes, and the advancement of business objectives. In connection with the offering the Company issued the placement agent or its designees warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 161,001 common shares. The Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $8.385, are immediately exercisable and will expire on January 13, 2031.
The Securities Offered
Each Common Unit consists of (i) one common share, no par value per share, and (ii) one warrant (the “Warrants”) to purchase one common share (the “Common Warrant Shares”). Each Pre-funded Unit consists of (i) one pre-funded warrant (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) to purchase one common share (the “Pre-funded Warrant Shares”), and (ii) one Warrant. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable at an exercise price of $0.001 per share and will remain exercisable until exercised in full. Each Warrant will be immediately exercisable upon issuance for a period of five years following the date of issuance. On January 14, 2026, the Warrants commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BCTXL.” Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $6.93.
The common shares and accompanying Warrants included in each Common Unit were issued separately, and the Pre-funded Warrants and the accompanying Warrants included in each Pre-funded Unit were issued separately. The Common Units and Pre-funded Units have no stand-alone rights and were not issued or certificated.
The exercise price of the Warrants and the Pre-funded Warrants and number of common shares issuable upon exercise will adjust in the event of certain share dividends and distributions, share splits, share combinations, reclassifications or similar events.
The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis if at the time of exercise thereof there is no effective registration statement registering, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for, the issuance of the Common Warrant Shares to the holder. The Pre-funded Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis at any time.
A holder of the Warrants and the Pre-funded Warrants (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Warrant or Pre-funded Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% (or 9.99%, at the election of the holder) of the outstanding common shares immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days’ prior notice from the holder to the Company, the holder may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding shares after exercising the holder’s Warrants or Pre-funded Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of the Company’s common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.
The Common Units, the Pre-funded Units, the common shares comprising the Common Units, the Warrants, the Pre-funded Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants, the Pre-funded Warrant Shares, the Common Warrant Shares and the common shares underlying the Placement Agent Warrants were offered and sold by the Company pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-292388), filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) on December 23, 2025, and declared effective by the SEC on January 13, 2026 (the “Registration Statement”), together with the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File. No. 333-292716) filed by the Company with the SEC on January 13, 2026, that became automatically effective pursuant to Rule 462(b) promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act.
On January 15, 2026, the Company also entered into a Warrant Agent Agreement (the “Warrant Agent Agreement”) with Computershare Inc. and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (“Computershare”), pursuant to which Computershare agreed to act as transfer agent with respect to the Warrants. A copy of the Warrant Agent Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Form 8-K”), and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Placement Agency Agreement
In connection with the offering, on January 13, 2026, the Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement (the “Placement Agency Agreement”) with ThinkEquity LLC (the “Placement Agent”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell directly to investors, in a best efforts basis the Common Units and the Pre-funded Units. As part of its compensation for acting as Placement Agent for the Offering, the Company paid the Placement Agent a cash fee of 6.25% of the aggregate gross proceeds.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the Placement Agency Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such document, which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
