The pricing press release furnished as Exhibit 99.2 states the public offering price was $51.50b per share and that gross proceeds are expected to be approximately $650 million. The company intends to use net proceeds to fund continued research and development of brensocatib, pre-commercial and, if approved, commercialization activities for brensocatib, further commercialization and development of ARIKAYCE, research and development of treprostinil palmitil inhalation powder (TPIP), and other research product candidates, and for general corporate purposes, including business expansion activities.
Exhibit 99.1, the May 28, 2024 press release, announced the proposed offering of $500 millionc of common stock, with a 30-day option for up to an additional 15% of shares.
