Shares of Spruce Biosciences were lower after the company said it had agreed to sell shares in a private placement expected to raise $50 million in gross proceeds.
The stock fell 23% to $140 in premarket trading.
The company said it has agreed to sell 502,181 shares of its common stock for $68 apiece while some investors are purchasing pre-funded warrants to buy up to 233,144 shares at $67.99 each. The warrants will be exercisable for five years.
The company said it would use the proceeds to advance its treatment of Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B, a rare genetic disorder, through a biologics license application submission in the first quarter of next year and a U.S. commercial launch in late 2026.
The placement is expected to close Thursday.
