Actinium Announces Exercise of Greenshoe Option
Stronger Balance Sheet Further Supports Late-Stage Pipeline Development
NEW YORK-- Actinium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT:ATNM) ("Actinium" or "the Company"), a biopharmaceutical company developing innovative targeted payload immunotherapeutics for the treatment of advanced cancers, today announced that the underwriters of the previously announced offering of 1,670,000 common shares of Actinium exercised their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 157,123 shares from the Company for $7.50 per share. The public offering previously closed on June 30, 2014.
Including the exercise of the over-allotment option of $1.2 million, gross, Actinium’s offering totaled 1,827,123 shares, representing gross proceeds of approximately $13.7 million and a net amount of approximately $12.6 million after deducting the underwriting discount and the other offering expenses.
“The over-allotment helps to advance both Iomab™-B into the planned Phase 3 trial and Actimab-A in the current Phase 1/2 trial. We believe interim data for Actimab-A, which is expected in December as well as other key milestones over the next twelve months, will create long-term value for our shareholders,” said Kaushik J.
