Processa Pharmaceuticals Announces Closing of a $10.2 Million Private Placement

HANOVER, MD, March 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Processa Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCSA) is pleased to announce it has closed its previously announced private placement to institutional and accredited investors of $10.2 million. The Company sold 1,321,132 shares of the common stock at a purchase price of $7.75 per share for $10.2 million in the private placement. The Company received net proceeds of $9.9 million.

The funding raised in this financing will enable Processa to be funded through 2023 and either expand the clinical development of PCS6422 or conduct the IND enabling toxicology studies to advance PCS11T to IND.

David Young, Pharm.D., Ph.D., Chairman and CEO said, “We are grateful for the support from our investors. This financing will not only strengthen our balance sheet but will allow us to further develop one of our cancer treatment drugs, PCS6422 or PCS11T. We anticipate that these two drugs will prove to be better than many of the present treatments in patients with colorectal cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer or lung cancer.”

Tribal Capital Markets, LLC acted as sole placement agent for the offering. Allele Capital Partners, LLC through Tribal Capital Markets, LLC was responsible for sourcing and executing the offering.

The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the common shares as well as the common shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued in the private placement.

This release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or other jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or other jurisdiction.
