NES-ZIONA, Israel, Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enlivex Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: ENLV, “Enlivex” or “the Company”), a clinical-stage macrophage reprogramming immunotherapy company, today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private investment in public equity (PIPE) for the purchase and sale of 212,000,000 ordinary shares (or ordinary share equivalents in lieu thereof) at a price of $1.00 per share, representing a premium of 11.5% from the closing price of the stock on November 21, 2025, for expected aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $212,000,000 (funded in a combination of $USD and USDT), before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses (the “Transaction”). Enlivex intends to use net proceeds from the PIPE to implement the first RAIN prediction markets token treasury strategy, while continuing its focus on the Company's core business operations.
RAIN is a fully decentralized predictions and options protocol built on the Arbitrum network. The protocol is fully permissionless, allowing anyone to create and trade custom options on any market. Market outcomes can be AI-resolved, and the platform is governed by the RAIN token, which features a built-in, deflationary Buyback & Burn mechanism. Designed to be the “Uniswap” of prediction markets, RAIN is a protocol where anyone, from anywhere, can create any type of market, whether it's public or private, in any language.
“With the recent institutional interest in leading prediction markets companies – $2 billion investment by NYSE's parent company in Polymarket, and Kalshi's $300 million financing round led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) and Sequoia Capital – it appears that this industry is maturing and has strong growth potential. We believe that following the closing of this transaction and the implementation of the RAIN treasury strategy, Enlivex will become the first U.S.-traded public company to provide investors with an exposure to prediction markets, one of the fastest growing sectors in the crypto industry”, stated Shai Novik, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Enlivex. “RAIN's decentralized protocol uses blockchain technology to let participants trade on expectations of future events, and we believe it will become a dominant force in this expanding market segment.”
Mr. Novik added, “Alongside managing the RAIN treasury portfolio, Enlivex will continue its existing operations focused on late-stage clinical development of Allocetra™, a novel therapy designed to treat the joint disease osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is by far the most common form of arthritis, affecting more than 32.5 million Americans and more than 300 million individuals worldwide. I would like to welcome Mr. Matteo Renzi to the Board of Directors of Enlivex and am looking forward to working together with Mr. Renzi to build shareholder value for Enlivex shareholders.”
The closing of the Transaction is expected to occur on or before November 25, 2025 (the “Closing”), subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
BTIG is serving as the sole placement agent and exclusive financial advisor for the Transaction. Greenberg Traurig, P.A. and FISCHER (FBC & Co.) serve as legal counsels to Enlivex, and DLA Piper and Gornitzky & Co. serve as legal counsels to BTIG.

ABOUT ENLIVEX
Enlivex will be the first publicly-listed company to develop a treasury strategy centered on RAIN, which will serve as the primary treasury reserve asset of the Company. In adopting its new treasury policy, Enlivex intends to provide investors with exposure to RAIN and to advocate for its role as digital capital.
In addition, Enlivex has an operating business focused on late-stage clinical development of Allocetra™, a novel therapy designed to treat the joint disease osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is by far the most common form of arthritis, affecting more than 32.5 million Americans and more than 300 million individuals worldwide. About half of knees with ACL injuries develop osteoarthritis within 5 to 15 years. 78 million Americans are projected to have osteoarthritis by the year 2040. Symptomatic knee osteoarthritis is particularly prevalent and disabling, with 40% of men and 47% of women developing knee osteoarthritis in their lifetimes. Osteoarthritis accounts for over one million hospitalizations annually in the United States, primarily for total joint replacement. The burden of osteoarthritis is enormous, and the need for treatments that reduce pain and attendant disability for persons with osteoarthritis is critical. To the Company's knowledge, there are currently no medications approved by either the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the European Medicines Agency (EMA) that have been demonstrated to arrest, slow or reverse progression of structural damage in the joint.
