FibroBiologics Announces $25 Million Financing
December 23 2024 - 6:55AM
FibroBiologics, Inc. (Nasdaq: FBLG) ("FibroBiologics”), a
clinical-stage biotechnology company with 160+ patents issued and
pending with a focus on the development of therapeutics and
potential cures for chronic diseases using fibroblasts and
fibroblast-derived materials, announced that it has entered into a
Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “SEPA”) with YA II PN LTD.
(“Yorkville”), an investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors
Global, LP. The agreement allows FibroBiologics, subject to
customary conditions, to sell up to $25 million in the aggregate of
its common stock to Yorkville over the course of two years.
Yorkville agreed to advance to FibroBiologics
the first $15 million available under the SEPA in three equal
tranches to be evidenced by convertible promissory notes. The first
tranche in the amount of $5 million was funded upon entry into the
SEPA. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the second
tranche of $5 million will fund after the filing of a registration
statement covering the resale of the shares issuable to Yorkville
under the promissory notes, and the third tranche of $5 million
will fund following the effectiveness of the registration statement
and receipt of shareholder approval in satisfaction of Nasdaq
rules. FibroBiologics can sell an additional $10 million of its
common stock to Yorkville, subject to Yorkville’s consent and other
conditions, while the convertible promissory notes remain
outstanding.
"The initial advances from this financing will
allow us to complete our first-in-human trial for diabetic foot
ulcers as well as IND-enabling studies for our psoriasis program,"
said Pete O'Heeron, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of
FibroBiologics. “We expect to further develop our human longevity,
multiple sclerosis, and cancer indications by utilizing the
remaining capital available under the SEPA.”
