Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement On January 28, 2025, SELLAS Life Sciences Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with a single healthcare-focused institutional investor (the "Investor"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering by the Company directly to the Investor (the "Offering"), (i) an aggregate of 8,200,000 shares (the "Shares") of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock") and (ii) an aggregate of 11,485,040 pre-funded warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the "Pre-Funded Warrants"), together with common warrants ("Common Warrants") to purchase up to 19,685,040 shares of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock and accompanying Common Warrant were sold together at a combined offering price of $1.27, and each Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying Common Warrant were sold together at a combined offering price of $1.2699.
