iBio Announces Pricing of $50 Million Public Offering

August 19, 2025 08:01 ET | Source: iBio, Inc. SAN DIEGO, Aug. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iBio, Inc. (Nasdaq: IBIO), an AI-driven innovator of precision antibody therapies, today announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering (the “offering”) of (i) pre-funded warrants to purchase 71,540,000 shares of iBio’s common stock (the “pre-funded warrants”), and (ii) accompanying Series G warrants representing the right to purchase (the “Series G warrants”) (a) 35,770,000 shares of iBio’s common stock, or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof, and (b) Series H warrants representing the right to purchase 35,770,000 shares of iBio’s common stock, or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof (the “Series H warrants”). The combined public offering price of one pre-funded warrant and one Series G warrant to purchase (1) one-half of a share of common stock, or a pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof, and (2) one Series H warrant to purchase one-half of a share of our common stock, or a pre-funded warrant in lieu thereof, which are being sold together but are immediately separable, is $0.699. The offering is expected to close on or about August 22, 2025, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. All of the securities are being offered by iBio. The pre-funded warrants will be exercisable immediately and will be exercisable until all of the pre-funded warrants are exercised in full. The Series G warrants and Series H warrants will each be exercisable from their date of issuance and will have an exercise price equal to $0.70 per share of iBio’s common stock (or $0.699 per pre-funded warrant) and in the case of the Series G warrants, the accompanying Series H warrant. The Series G warrants will expire on the date that is the earlier of (i) 30 trading days following iBio’s public announcement, via a press release on a nationally recognized news wire or the filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), that an Investigational New Drug Application (“IND”) filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a Clinical Trial Notification filed with the applicable foreign governmental body in Australia, a Clinical Trial Application filed with the European Medicines Agency, or an equivalent submission filed with a foreign governmental body to initiate a clinical trial in any other foreign jurisdiction has been accepted or has otherwise gone into effect, as applicable (such public filing or announcement, the “Trial Initiation Milestone”) and (ii) five years from the date of issuance. In addition, each Series G warrant will immediately expire in proportion to the extent that the corresponding pre-funded warrant held by a holder is exercised prior to the occurrence of the Trial Initiation Milestone (solely to the extent the proportion of the unexercised portion of the Series G warrant relative to the originally issued Series G warrant is greater than the proportion of the unexercised portion of the pre-funded warrant relative to the originally issued pre-funded warrant). When issued upon exercise of the Series G warrants, the Series H warrants will expire on the four-year anniversary of the closing date of this offering. The estimated gross proceeds from the offering are expected to be approximately $50 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The pre-funded warrants and Series G warrants (and the Series H warrants upon exercise of the Series G warrants) may be exercised for cash or, in certain circumstances at the holder’s discretion, on a net exercise or “cashless” basis. If all of the Series G warrants sold in this offering and all of the Series H warrants underlying the Series G warrants were to be exercised in cash at their exercise price, we would receive additional gross proceeds of approximately $50 million, before deducting expenses and fees. iBio intends to use the net proceeds received from the offering to advance its preclinical cardiometabolic programs, including IBIO-610, the myostatin and activin A bispecific, and IBIO-600 programs, through key development milestones, as well as to continue to progress its other preclinical pipeline assets, and the balance, if any, to fund iBio’s working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. Leerink Partners acted as the lead bookrunner for the offering. LifeSci Capital and Oppenheimer & Co. acted as bookrunning managers. Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC, acted as a financial advisor to iBio.
