Celladon to Merge with Eiger






 Celladon Corporation (Nasdaq:CLDN) and Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc., a privately-held biopharmaceutical company, today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which the stockholders of Eiger would become the majority owners of Celladon, and the operations of Celladon and Eiger would be combined. The proposed merger remains subject to certain conditions, including the approval of Celladon stockholders.  If approved, upon closing of the transaction, Celladon will be renamed Eiger BioPharmaceuticals, Inc.
An investor syndicate has committed to invest $39.5 million in the combined company including new investors HBM Healthcare Investments, RA Capital Management, Sabby Management, Sphera Global Healthcare, Perceptive Advisors and Monashee Capital Partners together with existing long-time Eiger stockholders, ViVo Capital and InterWest Partners.  Six million dollars of the financing has already been funded, and the remaining $33.5 million is expected to close contemporaneously with the completion of the proposed merger.  The total cash balance of the combined company upon the closing of the proposed merger and the financing is expected to be greater than $60 million.
The proposed merger will create a clinical-stage company with a diversified development portfolio of product candidates addressing novel targets for four distinct orphan diseases: Hepatitis Delta Virus, bariatric surgery-induced hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, pulmonary arterial hypertension, and lymphedema.
