Orum Therapeutics Submits Registration Statement for KOSDAQ Listing

By: via Business Wire

Initial public offering price range of KRW 30,000 to KRW 36,000

Orum Therapeutics (“Orum” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company pioneering the field of degrader-antibody conjugates (DACs) based on its Dual-Precision Targeted Protein Degradation, TPD2®, approach, today announced that it has filed a registration statement with the Financial Supervisory Service to list on the KOSDAQ market and will begin the initial public offering process. DACs are considered as a next-generation therapeutic modality that can selectively deliver targeted protein degradation (TPD) agents to target cells via antibodies and degrade proteins of interest within the cell to treat disease.

Orum, having developed multiple DAC platforms using the TPD2 approach, currently has a clinical-stage program that leverages GSPT1 degradation, and a proprietary linker technology, TPD2-PROTAb, for the conjugation of various TPDs as novel payloads.

Last year, Orum recorded revenue of KRW 135.4 billion, operating income of KRW 95.6 billion, and net profit of KRW 68.2 billion. The total number of new shares being offered is 3 million, and the offering price per share will range from 30,000 won to 36,000 won. The gross proceeds of the offering, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by Orum, are expected to be approximately KRW 90 billion. Orum will conduct a demand forecast for domestic and foreign institutional investors from October 24–30, 2024, to finalize the initial public offering price and conduct a public subscription for two days from November 5-6, 2024. The underwriter is Korea Investment & Securities.
