PureTech Health said its founded entity Seaport Therapeutics has priced an upsized Nasdaq initial public offering of 14.16 million shares at $18 each, implying expected gross proceeds of about $254.9 million before fees and expenses. Following the IPO, which is slated to start trading under the ticker SPTX on May 1 with closing expected on May 4, PureTech will retain 16,685,013 Seaport shares, underscoring the value of its spin-out strategy and potentially strengthening its financial flexibility as Seaport advances its neuropsychiatric drug pipeline.
Seaport Therapeutics is a clinical-stage company developing oral treatments for depression, anxiety and other neuropsychiatric disorders by applying its proprietary Glyph platform to improve bioavailability and tolerability of clinically validated mechanisms. The successful pricing at the top of the range, backed by major underwriters including Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan and others, highlights investor appetite for neuropsychiatry-focused biotechs and reinforces PureTech’s position as a creator of publicly listed therapeutic companies.
