Movement Alert|CARsgen Therapeutics-B Declines 5.19% in Regular Trading, Dilutive Impact of Discounted Placement Continues to Pressure Stock

Market Focus05-28

On May 28, CARsgen Therapeutics-B declined 5.19% in regular trading, trading at HK$17.18/share, with trading volume of HK$27.94 million.

The decline was primarily driven by the ongoing dilutive effect of the company's recently completed share placement. CARsgen completed a top-up placement of 23.7 million shares at HK$19.84 per share, representing approximately 4.15% of pre-placement issued share capital. The placement, arranged by UBS and Macquarie, raised net proceeds of approximately HK$4.62 billion. Following completion, total issued shares increased to approximately 594.68 million. The placement price represents a discount to prior trading levels, and shareholder dilution concerns continue to weigh on sentiment.

Additionally, the broader Hong Kong biotech sector exhibited weakness, with INNOVENT BIO down 2.03%, AKESO down 2.08%, BEIGENE down 2.21%, and 3SBIO down 4.82%, amplifying individual stock pressure.

CARsgen Therapeutics is an investment holding company focused on developing CAR-T cell therapies for hematological malignancies, solid tumors, and autoimmune diseases.
