Shares of Protara Therapeutics fell after the company priced a $75 million public offering of common stock.
The stock fell 15%, to $5.86, in premarket trading Friday. Through Thursday's close, shares have gained more than 30% so far this year.
The drugmaker said late Thursday that it plans to sell about 13 million shares of its common stock at $5.75 apiece. Protara will also grant underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional nearly 2 million shares at the offering price, minus discounts and commissions.
Gross proceeds from the offering are expected to be approximately $75 million, and the company intends to use net proceeds to fund the clinical development of investigational cell therapy TARA-002, as well as the development of other clinical programs.
Protara may also use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
