Kardigan Raises $400M in Upsized IPO, Pricing Shares at $16
Summary
Heart drug developer Kardigan successfully raised $400 million in an upsized initial public offering, selling 25 million shares at $16 each, the top of its target range. This significant capital infusion will fund the clinical development of its three late-stage experimental therapies, including treatments for genetic dilated cardiomyopathy and calcific aortic valve stenosis. The strong investor demand, evidenced by the upsized offering and top-range pricing, provides crucial funding for this clinical-stage biotech ahead of its Nasdaq debut on Thursday.
