On February 6, 2025, GH Research PLC (the “Company”) completed an offering of 10,000,000 ordinary shares, pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, as representatives of the several underwriters. In addition, the Company granted the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days following the date of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase up to 1,500,000 additional ordinary shares. The Underwriting Agreement includes the terms and conditions for the offering and sale of the ordinary shares, indemnification and contribution obligations, and other terms and conditions customary in agreements of this type. The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Underwriting Agreement, which is attached to this Report on Form 6-K as Exhibit 1.1.
The offer and sale of the ordinary shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-270418) (the “Registration Statement”). The Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a preliminary prospectus supplement dated February 3, 2025 and a final prospectus supplement dated February 4, 2025, together with an accompanying prospectus dated March 17, 2023, relating to the offer and sale of the ordinary shares.
