Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On May 9, 2023, we completed the Private Placement, in which we sold an aggregate of 625,000 shares of common stock to Abingworth, a holder of more than 5% of our common stock, at a price of $8.00 per share. Total net proceeds from the Private Placement, after deducting advisor fees and other estimated fees and expenses, were approximately $4.7 million. The Private Placement was made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(a)(2) thereof.
Use of Proceeds
We commenced our IPO pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-254534) that was declared effective on April 8, 2021 and registered an aggregate of 7,187,500 shares of our common stock. On April 13, 2021, we completed our IPO and sold 6,250,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $15.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $93.8 million before deducting underwriters’ discounts and commissions and offering-related expenses. Net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $6.6 million and offering expenses of approximately $2.6 million, were $84.6 million. Jefferies LLC, SVB Securities LLC and Piper Sandler & Co. acted as joint book-running managers.
As of June 30, 2023, we have used approximately $6.7 million of the net proceeds from our IPO. We have invested the remaining net proceeds in highly liquid money market funds and short-term investments. The remaining net proceeds from the IPO will be used, together with our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, to fund continued research and development of mavodelpar in patients with PMM and LC-FAOD, other clinical trials and preclinical studies, and commercial readiness preparations, and to provide funds for working capital and other general purposes. None of the offering proceeds were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning 10.0% or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.
