WALTHAM, Mass., April 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TScan Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TCRX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of T cell receptor (TCR)-engineered T cell therapies (TCR-T) for the treatment of patients with cancer, today announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 2,472,581 shares of its voting common stock at a public offering price of the market price of $7.1300 per share, which was equal to the closing price of its voting common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on April 16, 2024, and pre-funded warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 18,577,419 shares of its voting common stock at a price to the public of $7.1299 per pre-funded warrant to purchase one share of the voting common stock, which represents the per share public offering price for the voting common stock less the $0.0001 per share exercise price for each such pre-funded warrant. In addition, TScan has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,157,500 shares of its voting common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The gross proceeds to TScan from this offering are expected to be approximately $150.1 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses payable by TScan, assuming no exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares of voting common stock. The offering is expected to close on or about April 19, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

Morgan Stanley and TD Cowen are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering. LifeSci Capital is acting as Lead Manager, and BTIG, H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Needham & Company are each acting as co-managers for the offering.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes. Following this offering, the Company expects its existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will enable it to fund its operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements into the fourth quarter of 2026.
