This 8-K filing finalizes the terms and pricing of Taysha Gene Therapies' public offering, which was previously announced. The company will issue 32,500,001 shares of common stock and 833,333 pre-funded warrants at $6.00 per share and $5.999 per warrant, respectively, raising approximately $187.4 million in net proceeds (potentially $215.6 million if the over-allotment option is fully exercised). This capital raise is substantial and dilutive to existing shareholders.
