KalVista Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: KALV) (“KalVista”) today
announced the pricing of an underwritten offering of 5,500,000
shares of its common stock at a price of $10.00 per share to
certain investors (the “Offering”). The gross proceeds to KalVista
from the Offering are expected to be $55 million, before deducting
underwriting discounts, commissions and other offering expenses
payable by KalVista.
Concurrently with the Offering, KalVista has entered into a
securities purchase agreement with DRI Healthcare Acquisitions LP
(“DRI”), an accredited investor affiliated with DRI Healthcare
Trust, pursuant to which KalVista agreed to offer and sell and DRI
agreed to purchase 500,000 shares of KalVista common stock in a
private placement (the “Private Placement”) at a price per share
equal to that of the public offering price. Gross proceeds to
KalVista are expected to be $5 million, before deducting fees to
the placement agents and other offering expenses payable by
KalVista. The common stock sold in the Private Placement will not
be registered as part of the Offering. The consummation of the
Offering and the Private Placement are not contingent upon each
other.
KalVista intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering and
the Private Placement, along with the proceeds from our previously
announced synthetic royalty transaction and existing cash and cash
equivalents, to fund the continued clinical development of its
product candidate sebetralstat and activities related to its
planned commercialization following approval. The remainder of the
net proceeds, if any, will be used for general corporate
purposes.
All of the shares of common stock are being offered by KalVista.
The Offering and Private Placement are expected to close on
November 5, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing
conditions.
Jefferies, BofA Securities, TD Cowen and Stifel are acting as
the joint book-running managers for the Offering and as the joint
placement agents for the Private Placement.

KalVista with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on
July 11, 2024 and declared effective by the SEC on July 19, 2024. A
