In the money Jan. 6: Drug, burger makers report multimillion-dollar fundings
..................................
• Savara Inc. has raised about $26.8 million as it develops drugs to treat rare lung diseases. The Austin-based pharmaceutical company announced Dec. 20 it intended to sell more than 9.5 million shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to buy more than 5.7 million shares in a private placement with "institutional investors," which would generate the $26.8 million, although Savara (Nasdaq: SVRA) still needs to deduct placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The company filed securities paperwork Jan. 2 indicating it had raised the $26.8 million from 18 investors. Savara said Dec. 20 it has also agreed to sell warrants that could allow investors to buy more than 32.5 million additional shares of common stock. The warrants can be exercised by investors two years after the close of this private placement or 30 days after Savara achieves a certain clinical milestone, whichever is earlier. That sale could raise gross proceeds of $48.2 million, according to the company, before deducting expenses and fees. Bain Capital Life Sciences led the placement and Ricky Sun of Bain Capital has joined Savara's board of directors. Investors in the private placement included EcoR1 Capital LLC and Logos Capital. Founded in 2008, Savara is led by CEO Rob Neville and develops drugs for orphan lung diseases such as autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and nontuberculous mycobacteria. https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2020/01/06/in-the-money-jan-6-drug-burger-makers-report.html?ana=yahoo&yptr=yahoo
