CAR T cell treatment company Chimeric Therapeutics (ASX:CHM) is understood to have easily achieved its IPO fundraising target of $35m ahead of its ASX listing timed for Monday.
Institutional investors have expressed strong interest in the IPO priced at 20c per share, along with sophisticated investors, leading to the offer being heavily oversubscribed.
“The capital raising for $35 million is all done and came in early,” said a source close to the IPO that closed to investors in mid-December.
Chimeric Therapeutics initially intended to raise only $25m in its IPO, but according to the source, this target was raised by another $10m such was the interest from long-term institutional investors.
The company has developed a therapy treatment for solid tumours based on research at the City of Hope Cancer Centre in Los Angeles.
