NEW YORK, Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Landos Biopharma, Inc. (NASDAQ: LABP) (“Landos” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel, oral medicines for patients with autoimmune diseases, today announced a $16.7 million private placement financing from the sale of pre-funded warrants to purchase an aggregate of 30,909,090 shares of its common stock at a price per pre-funded warrant of $0.54 to entities associated with Perceptive Advisors LLC, Landos’ largest stockholder. The price per pre-funded warrant was based on the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on January 4, 2023. Gross proceeds from the financing total approximately $16.7 million, before deducting offering expenses. The closing of the financing is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close on or before January 10, 2023.

The Company anticipates using the net proceeds from the investment to advance the development of NX-13 and for other general corporate purposes. The Company estimates that the net proceeds from the financing, in addition to its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, will be sufficient to fund its planned operations into the first half of 2025.

Neither the pre-funded warrants nor the shares of common stock underlying the pre-funded warrants have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and these securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
