On July 6, Abivax S.A. rose 5.74% overnight, trading at $155.04/share, with turnover of $1.27 million. The movement was driven by the formal closing of the company's expanded equity offering, which saw underwriters fully exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 960,000 American Depositary Shares.
The full exercise increased gross proceeds to approximately $920 million from the initially priced $800 million, with net proceeds of about $874.1 million earmarked for potential US commercialization of obefazimod, clinical research on ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, and general corporate purposes. Notably, the offering size was raised twice — from an initial $600 million launch to $800 million at pricing, and ultimately to $920 million with the greenshoe — reflecting robust institutional demand. The stock continues to trade above the $125 offering price, underpinned by positive Phase 3 ABTECT Maintenance Part 2 data reported in late June that eliminated safety concerns around malignancy rates for obefazimod, supporting the company's planned NDA submission in Q4.
