NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Great Basin on Monday said it plans to raise $3.5 million in net proceeds in a public offering of securities.
In a document filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the firm said that it plans to offer 4 million units comprised of either Class A or Class B units, together with 4 million shares of common stock included in the Class A units, 20,000 shares of common stock underlying Series J warrants, and 4 million shares of common stock underlying prefunded Series K warrants.
Each Class A units consists of one share of Great Basin's common stock and one Series J warrant to purchase 2.5 shares of the firm's common stock. The Class A units are being offered at an assumed public offering price of $1.13 per Class A unit.
Each Class B unit consists of one prefunded Series K warrant to purchase one share of common stock and one Series J warrant to purchase 2.5 shares of Great Basin's common stock. Each Series K warrant is being sold with one Series J warrant at the assumed combined public offering price of $1.13 per unit, minus $.01 per share exercise price of the prefunded Series K warrant included in the Class B unit.
