Knoxville, Tenn., July 28 - Endocyte, Inc. priced a $60.91 million public sale of stock with a $10.68 million greenshoe, according to a prospectus supplement filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Plans for the deal were announced July 14.

The company will sell 4,968,321 common shares at $12.26 apiece. The price per share is identical to the company's July 27 closing share price.

RBC Capital Markets, LLC and Leerink Swann LLC are the joint book-running managers, with Cowen and Co., LLC and Wedbush PacGrow Life Sciences as co-managers.

The company expects to use about $15 million of the proceeds to prepare the filings for conditional marketing authorization for EC145 and EC20 and for pre-commercial activities in Europe; it will use about $15 million for a phase 2 trial of EC145 and EC20 and about $10 million to advance its earlier stage phase 1 and preclinical pipeline. The remaining proceeds will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
