(Nasdaq: PRQR) (“ProQR”), a company dedicated to changing lives through transformative RNA therapies based on its proprietary Axiomer™ RNA editing technology platform, today announced the pricing of its previously announced underwritten public offering of 18,000,000 ordinary shares (the “Offering”) at a public offering price of $3.50 per share, for total gross proceeds of $63.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by ProQR. All of the shares are being offered by ProQR. In addition, ProQR has granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 2,700,000 additional ordinary shares at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions.\nConcurrently with the Offering, ProQR has entered into a share purchase agreement with Eli Lilly and Company (“Lilly”), one of its existing shareholders and a strategic partner of ProQR, in a separately negotiated transaction pursuant to which ProQR agreed to offer and sell, and Lilly agreed to purchase, 3,523,538 ordinary shares to permit Lilly to maintain its current pro rata beneficial ownership (16.4%) of the number of the ordinary shares to be outstanding immediately following the closing of the Offering and the concurrent private placement (without giving effect to any exercise by the underwriters of the option to purchase additional shares), at a price per share equal to the public offering price for total gross proceeds of approximately $12.3 million, subject to a purchase price cap of $15.0 million, the consummation of the Offering and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. The sale of the ordinary shares to Lilly in the concurrent private placement will not be registered as part of the Offering. The Offering is not contingent upon the completion of the concurrent private placement. The ordinary shares purchased in the concurrent private placement will not be subject to any underwriting discounts or commissions.\nThe ordinary shares to be sold in the concurrent private placement are being issued pursuant to the exemptions provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state or other applicable jurisdiction’s securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state or other jurisdiction’s securities laws. \nProQR currently intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering and the concurrent private placement, together with its existing cash and cash equivalents, to primarily fund research and development and clinical development to support the advancement of its current or future product candidates and the expansion of its research and development programs, and the remainder for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes.\nEvercore ISI, Cantor, Raymond James and Oppenheimer & Co. are acting as joint lead bookrunning managers for the Offering. The Offering and concurrent private placement are expected to close on October 24, 2024, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.\nA shelf registration statement on Form F-3 relating to the Offering (including the accompanying prospectus) was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 30, 2024 and was declared effective on October 10, 2024. The Offering is being made only by means of a prospectus and prospectus supplement that form a part of the registration statement. A preliminary prospectus supplement relating to and describing the terms of the Offering has been filed with the SEC and may be obtained for free by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. A final prospectus supplement relating to the Offering will be filed with the SEC. When available, copies of the final prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus relating to the Offering may be obtained from: Evercore Group L.L.C., Attention: Equity Capital Markets, 55 East 52nd Street, 35th Floor, New York, New York 10055, by telephone at (888) 474-0200 or by email at ecm.prospectus@evercore.com; or Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., Attention: Capital Markets, 110 East 59th Street, 6th Floor, New York, New York 10022 or by email at prospectus@cantor.com.
