Veradermics, Incorporated ("Veradermics") (NYSE:MANE), a dermatologist-founded, late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapeutics for pattern hair loss, today announced that it has launched a proposed public offering of 3,350,000 shares of common stock (and, in lieu of common stock to certain investors, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of its common stock) pursuant to a registration statement filed on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All of the shares and pre-funded warrants are being offered by Veradermics. In addition, the underwriters are expected to have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 502,500 shares of common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, solely with respect to shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants sold in the public offering. Veradermics expects to enter into a securities purchase agreement substantially concurrently with the offering, pursuant to which Veradermics will sell pre-funded warrants, with the same terms as the pre-funded warrants being offered in the offering, to certain entities affiliated with Suvretta Capital in a private placement. For each pre-funded warrant Veradermics sells in the private placement, the number of securities Veradermics is offering in the proposed public offering will be decreased on a one-for-one basis. The aggregate number of securities Veradermics will issue in the proposed public offering and the private placement will be 3,350,000. The offering and the private placement are subject to market and other conditions, the timing, actual size or terms of the offering and the private placement may be different than currently anticipated and the offering and the private placement may not be completed.

Jefferies, Leerink Partners, Citigroup, and Cantor are acting as joint bookrunning managers for the proposed offering. LifeSci is acting as passive bookrunner for the proposed offering. Needham & Company is acting as lead manager for the proposed offering.
