All of the shares, pre-funded warrants and accompanying common stock warrants in the offering were sold by Altimmune. The gross proceeds from the offering before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses, were approximately $225 million.
"This financing provides the resources to initiate and execute the pemvidutide Phase 3 trial in MASH and provides cash runway through our anticipated 52-week data readout of the trial," said Jerry Durso, President and Chief Executive Officer of Altimmune. "Despite the availability of approved therapies, there remains significant unmet need for patients with MASH. We believe pemvidutide has the potential to offer a differentiated profile with meaningful benefits for patients. We are grateful for the conviction and confidence shown by these top-tier investors, as we execute on our goal to bring pemvidutide to patients with serious liver diseases and create long-term value for our shareholders."
Altimmune intends to use the net proceeds to fund its upcoming Phase 3 trial in MASH, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes. Altimmune expects to initiate its Phase 3 trial in MASH in the second half of 2026.
