IN8bio Announces Pricing of $12.4 Million Private Placement
- Cash position now expected to fund current operating plan into 2026
- Financing provides cash runway to advance the ongoing expansion cohorts in the Phase 1 trial of INB-100 for patients with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IN8bio, Inc. (NASDAQ:INAB), a leading clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on innovative gamma-delta T cell therapies, today announced that it has entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement with accredited investors for a private placement that is expected to result in gross proceeds of approximately $12.4 million to IN8bio, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses. The net proceeds from this financing are expected to fund the Company's current operating plan into 2026.
The private placement was led by an existing healthcare-focused institutional investor and included a large mutual fund company and other existing and new institutional investors.
Under the terms of the securities purchase agreement, the Company will sell units comprised of an aggregate of 25,759,595 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, pre-funded warrants to purchase 5,646,853 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to 31,406,448 shares of common stock (the "Series C Warrants"). The units will be sold at a purchase price of $0.395 per unit (or $0.3949 per unit with respect to units that include pre-funded warrants in lieu of common stock). The pre-funded warrants will have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Series C Warrants will have an exercise price of $0.27 per share.
IN8bio intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement to fund the clinical development of INB-100 and future product candidates and for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The proceeds will support the continued enrollment of patients in the expansion cohort with a new target total enrollment of approximately 25 patients at the recommended Phase 2 dose. IN8bio expects to complete this additional enrollment in the first half of 2025, with long-term follow-up results anticipated in late 2025 and in 2026. To affirm the improvements in relapse free and overall survival observed to date and to further de-risk a future registrational randomized control trial, IN8bio will also seek to add a parallel control cohort to prospectively assess leukemia patients and enable comparison between patients receiving INB-100 to those who only receive standard haplotransplantation.
The closing of the private placement is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to occur on or about October 4, 2024.
Newbridge Securities Corporation acted as the sole placement agent for the private placement.
The offer and sale of the foregoing securities is being made in a private placement pursuant to an exemption under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws.
