Cambridge, MA & Salisbury, England, November 4, 2024 – 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 financing 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.
