Material Changes and Capitalization Effects
- The transaction would substantially increase Replimune’s cash resources through approximately $270.0 million of estimated net proceeds.
- The offering will increase shares outstanding by up to 5,625,000 common shares, assuming issuance of all firm and option shares, and may result in additional shares upon exercise of the 1,562,500 pre-funded warrants.
- The filing does not state the company’s pre-offering share count, so the percentage dilution cannot be calculated from the provided text.
- The pre-funded warrants include a 9.99% beneficial ownership exercise limitation, which may be increased to no more than 19.99% with at least 61 days’ prior notice.
