The $60M raise at-market with 19.5% dilution is a clear near-term bearish signal for common equity. Monitor the stock for continued selling pressure through the May 26 close. The warrants (strike $3.68, 47% above offering price) create additional overhang but are less dilutive near-term. Watch for any clinical catalyst updates on NVG-291 that could offset dilution sentiment.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
NervGen Pharma priced a $60M underwritten public offering of 24M common shares and warrants, with shares at $2.50 and warrants exercisable at $3.68 for five years.

The stock closed at $2.50 on May 20, so the offering is at-market with no premium.
