and pancreatic tumors, announced today the expiration and results of its previously announced exchange offer (the "Offer")

the Prospectus/Offer to Exchange that forms a part of the Registration Statement (as defined below). The Offer and Consent Solicitation
expired one minute after 11:59 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on June 25, 2024.
Pursuant to the Offer, the

The Offer and Consent Solicitation

were comprised of 6,533,614 Public Warrants (including 9,185 Public Warrants tendered through guaranteed delivery), 504,685 Private Placement
Warrants, and 0 Working Capital Warrants, which represents approximately 78.89%, 10.23% and 0.00% of the outstanding Warrants of each

the Consent Solicitation, the Company received the approval of approximately 78.89% of the outstanding Public Warrants to amend the warrant
agreement that governs the Warrants (the "Warrant Amendment"), which represents a majority of the outstanding Public Warrants

About TriSalus Life Sciences
TriSalus Life Sciences
is an oncology focused medical technology business providing disruptive drug delivery technology with the goal of improving therapeutics
delivery to liver and pancreatic tumors.
The Company's platform
includes devices that utilize a proprietary drug delivery technology and a clinical stage investigational immunotherapy. The Company's
two FDA-cleared devices use its proprietary Pressure-Enabled Drug Delivery (PEDD ) approach to deliver a range of therapeutics:
the TriNav Infusion System for hepatic arterial infusion of liver tumors and the Pancreatic Retrograde Venous Infusion System for
pancreatic tumors. PEDD is a novel delivery approach designed to address the anatomic limitations of arterial infusion for the pancreas.
The PEDD approach modulates pressure and flow in a manner that delivers more therapeutic to the tumor and is designed to reduce undesired
delivery to normal tissue, bringing the potential to improve patient outcomes. Nelitolimod, the Company's investigational immunotherapeutic
candidate, is designed to improve patient outcomes by treating the immunosuppressive environment created by many tumors and which can
make current immunotherapies ineffective in the liver and pancreas. Patient data generated during Pressure-Enabled Regional Immuno-Oncology
(PERIO) clinical trials support the hypothesis that nelitolimod delivered via PEDD may have favorable immune effects within the liver
and systemically. The target for nelitolimod, TLR9, is expressed across cancer types and the mechanical barriers addressed by PEDD are
commonly present as well. Nelitolimod delivered by PEDD will be studied across several indications in an effort to address immune dysfunction
and overcome drug delivery barriers in the liver and pancreas.

cancer centers across the country - and by leveraging deep immuno-oncology expertise and inventive technology development -
