On June 30, 2026, MeiraGTx entered a royalty note purchase agreement with funds affiliated with Oberland Capital for up to $375 million, secured by company assets and tied to capped royalties on three gene therapy products. The company also agreed to sell 950,570 shares at $10.52 for about $10.0 million and fully redeemed its Perceptive credit notes on the same day.

Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
