As further described in the prospectus for the offering which is available on the SEC’s EDGAR filing website, for each share purchased in the offering, an investor will receive a registered warrant to purchase 0.5 shares of VHC common stock at $2.00 per share, 0.5 shares of VHC common stock at $3.00 per share and 0.5 shares of VHC common stock at $4.00 per share.  As these warrants are exercised, there will be a significant potential for additional capital that will directly benefit the Company.

VirnetX CEO, Kendall Larsen, said: “The additional funds raised give us the necessary working capital to fund operations through some critical licensing and litigation milestones. I am pleased that we were able to accomplish the financing during such difficult economic times.  I am also pleased that the Company’s directors, officer, family and key employees participated in the raise and their participation accounts for 6%.”
