Concert Pharmaceuticals Raises $30 Million in Venture Debt Financing

Announced today, Concert Pharmaceuticals has raised $30 million in a debt financing agreement with Hercules Capital. This deal looks good in that it is not dilutive, and carries a prime-based variable interest rate of 8.55%. There were minimal warrants tied into the deal in the amount of 61,273 at an exercise price of $12.24. With this capital raise, the company should have at the end of the second quarter (June 30th), around $100 million in cash. This sum excludes the potential for another $160 million when CTP-656 is officially sold to Vertex. The loan matures June 2021, about the time when AVP-786 could potentially be on the market, FDA approved for agitation of the Alzheimer's type. Thank you for reading.
