ADARX PHARMACEUTICALS TARGETS $1.74B VALUATION IN U.S. IPO
RNA drug developer ADARx Pharmaceuticals plans to sell 21.875M shares at $15-$17 each, raising up to $371.9M and valuing the company at as much as $1.74B.
AbbVie will separately purchase about 5.01M shares in a concurrent private placement, giving it roughly a 4.9% stake after the IPO.
ADARx is developing next-generation siRNA drugs, with five wholly owned programs spanning hereditary angioedema, complement diseases, stroke prevention, obesity and neurodegenerative diseases.
Its most advanced drug, onvuzosiran, is currently in Phase 3 for hereditary angioedema, with topline data expected by the end of 2027. The FDA granted the program Fast Track status in August.
At the $16 midpoint, ADARx expects roughly $397M in combined net proceeds from the IPO and AbbVie placement, with the largest allocations planned for:
• $180M for agazisiran and its complement-disease programs
• $80M for stroke candidate ADX-626
• $65M for Phase 3 onvuzosiran
• $25M for obesity program ADX-077
• $20M for neurodegeneration program ADX-199
The company says the proceeds, together with existing cash and investments, should fund operations into 2030.
ADARx plans to list on Nasdaq under $ADRX.
