Generate Biomedicines has announced the pricing of its initial public offering, implying a market value of about $2 billion for the U.S. biotechnology firm.
The company, which specializes in designing and developing drugs using artificial intelligence, raised $400 million from selling 25 million shares at $16.00 each.
Shares are expected to start trading on Friday, with the public offering set to close on March 2.
Generate has granted underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3.75 million shares.
In September, the Somerville, Mass.-based company said it had raised nearly $700 million in equity financing since 2020, including $273 million from a Series C funding round backed by investors such as Nvidia's venture capital arm.
Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are acting as joint lead book-running managers for the IPO.
