Summary:
  • San Francisco-based Electra Therapeutics is pitching 21.67 million shares at $14 to $16 each, aiming to collect up to $347 million.
  • Electra intends to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market with the ticker ETRA, and OrbiMed is among its investors.
  • Its lead drug candidate for secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis holds FDA Breakthrough Therapy and EMA Priority Medicine designations.

The IPO terms and what they imply

If pricing lands at the high end, the filing indicates a valuation near $978 million, calculated from the outstanding share count listed.

The lead therapy and trial status

Electra develops medicines for immunology and is running a global mid-stage study of its lead candidate in newly diagnosed patients with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, a severe immune overreaction. The program has secured a Breakthrough Therapy tag from the US Food and Drug Administration and a Priority Medicine designation from the European Medicines Agency.

Who is backing Electra and how the finances look

Investors on the cap table include entities tied to OrbiMed, Westlake BioPartners and Redmile Group. In October, Electra brought in about $182.7 million via a Series C round led by a Sanofi SA unit alongside OrbiMed and Redmile. As of June 30, the company reported cash and equivalents of $97.7 million. For the first half of this year, it posted a net loss of $58.6 million, versus a net loss of $25.4 million in the same stretch last year.
