Knoxville, Tenn., May 2 - GenSpera, Inc. said it settled a private placement of units for about $2.2 million.
The company sold units of one common share and one half-share warrant at $1.65 apiece. Each whole warrant is exercisable at $3.15 for five years. The strike price reflects a 65.79% premium to the April 29 closing share price of $1.90.
"This financing brings the total monies raised in 2011 to approximately $6.2 million," chief executive officer and president Craig Dionne said in a press release.
"The monies raised in January and February assured funding for an aggressive phase 2 clinical program for our lead drug G-202, currently in a FDA-approved phase 1 safety trial. This current financing provides funds for the full pre-clinical development of G-115, our second drug, specifically targeted for prostate cancer."
