MINNEAPOLIS, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:PETV, OTC:PETVW) and its wholly-owned subsidiary PetVivo Animal Health, Inc. (collectively "PetVivo" or the "Company") an emerging biomedical device company focused on the commercialization of innovative medical therapeutics for horses, dogs and other companion animals announced today that the Company has recently received Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) pursuant to a partial exercise of a purchase option ("Purchase Option") granted to the investor as part of an offering to receive Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of equity financing in exchange for Five Million shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Shares") (the "Offering"); pursuant to the Offering, the purchase price for one (1) Share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is One Dollar ($1.00) and the conversion rate is one (1) Share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for one (1) share of Company common stock. The Company has previously received an aggregate total of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the Offering prior to the current Purchase Option exercise for a total received to date of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000). An additional One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the Purchase Option remains for exercise at the investor's discretion pursuant to the terms and conditions of the subscription agreement of the Offering ("Subscription Agreement"). It is anticipated the remaining One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the Purchase Option will be received by the Company on or before June 26, 2025.

The proceeds from this Offering are earmarked to assist the Company in the commercialization of its signature products, SPRYNG^® with OsteoCushion^® Technology and Precise PRP^®. Spryng is an intra-articular injectable veterinary medical device consisting of sterilized, extra-cellular matrix microparticles. The microparticles of Spryng have been found to adsorb onto the joint synovial lining of animals and subsequently integrate with the animal's subsynovial tissue. Such action promotes the restoration of proper joint mechanics, thereby aiding in the management of noninfectious sources of joint pain such as joint instability, degenerative joint disease and osteoarthritis.

PrecisePRP is a first-in-class off-the-shelf platelet-rich plasma (PRP) product designed for use by veterinarians. PrecisePRP is a leucoreduced, allogeneic, pooled, freeze-dried PRP intended to provide a species-specific source of concentrated platelets in plasma for intra-articular administration in dogs and horses. Unlike any PRP mechanical kits currently on the market, PrecisePRP^™ does not require a blood draw or centrifugation making it a truly off-the-shelf product that is easy and convenient. Perhaps more important is the uniformity and consistency that PrecisePRP^® guarantees. Each vial of PrecisePRP^® contains a consistent dose of 4 billion platelets per vial at a concentration of Five Hundred Thousand (500,000) platelets per microliter and is leucoreduced with less than One Thousand Five Hundred (1500) white blood cells per microliter.

"The investment of $3.0 million through the exercise of the purchase option tied to our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Offering marks a significant milestone in our capital strategy and growth trajectory," said John Lai, Chief Executive Officer of PetVivo Holdings, Inc. "This investment further strengthens our financial position and supports the advancement of our strategic initiatives, including the expansion of our innovative product portfolio and continued commercialization efforts of our flagship products, Spryng with OsteoCushion Technology and PrecisePRP. We appreciate the confidence our investors have placed in our vision and remain committed to delivering long-term value."
