Minerva Neurosciences sets up $75.0 million at-the-market stock sale program with Leerink

Mixed Impact 3 of 5 financing Written later

Minerva Neurosciences entered a Sales Agreement with Leerink Partners LLC for an at-the-market offering of up to $75.0 million of common stock, with a 3.0% commission on gross proceeds. The company is not obligated to sell any shares, so the program could dilute existing shareholders if used. The filing also says the relapse assessment phase of its Phase 3 C19 trial of roluperidone was extended from 40 weeks to 52 weeks after FDA feedback, with topline results still expected in the second half of 2027.
