Knoxville, Tenn., April 14 – CareDx, Inc. arranged a private placement of units to raise about $14.1 million on April 12, according to an 8-K filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The deal settled on April 14. Leerink Partners LLC, M.M. Dillon & Co. LLC and Brookline Capital Markets were the agents.

The company sold about 592,000 units of one common share, five 0% series A mandatorily convertible preferred shares and three warrants at $23.94 per unit.

Each preferred initially converts to common stock at $3.99 per common share.

The warrants are each exercisable at $4.98 for seven years. The strike price is a 3.49% discount to the April 11 closing share price of $5.16. The conversion price is a 22.67% discount to that price.

Proceeds will be used for working capital, acquisitions and general corporate purposes.
