Aileron Therapeutics Announces Closing of Underwritten Registered Direct Offering of up to Approximately $40 Million

AUSTIN, Texas, May 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aileron Therapeutics, Inc. (“Aileron”) (NASDAQ: ALRN), a biopharmaceutical company advancing a novel pipeline of first-in-class medicines to address significant unmet medical needs in orphan pulmonary and fibrosis indications, today announced the closing of its previously announced underwritten registered direct offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules of 4,273,505 shares of its common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,273,505 shares of common stock. Each share of common stock and accompanying warrant were sold together at a combined public offering price of $4.68. The aggregate gross proceeds of the offering were approximately $20 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by Aileron, and excluding any proceeds that may be received from exercise of the warrants.

The accompanying warrants have an exercise price of $4.68 per share, are exercisable immediately and expire three years from the date of issuance. Aileron may call the warrants for cancellation during the ten trading day period after the date that is thirty (30) days following the public announcement by Aileron of the top-line results from the Phase 1b clinical trial of LTI-03 in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, which announcement includes a statement that there were no drug-related adverse events that resulted in a discontinuation of the trial; provided that Aileron may only deliver such call notice if the volume-weighted average price of its shares of common stock exceeds the exercise price of the warrants on the trading day immediately prior to the date it delivers the call notice. Any warrant subject to such call for which a notice of exercise is not received will be cancelled ten trading days after the date of the call notice for consideration equal to $0.001 per warrant share.

Titan Partners Group, a division of American Capital Partners, acted as sole book-running manager for the offering.

The securities were offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-265470) that was previously filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 16, 2022.
