This 424B5 prospectus supplement provides the full details for the $800 million public offering of American Depositary Shares (ADSs), which was previously priced and announced on July 1, 2026. The offering, which includes an underwriters' option for an additional 960,000 ADSs, aims to raise up to $920 million in gross proceeds. The capital is intended to fund the potential commercialization of its lead drug candidate, obefazimod, in the United States and support ongoing clinical research and development. While the capital infusion is crucial for advancing the company's pipeline, the offering involves significant dilution (up to 9.2%) and is priced at a discount to the recent market price, which may weigh on investor sentiment.
