NEW YORK ─ German molecular diagnostics firm Mainz Biomed on Tuesday announced the pricing of a follow-on offering of 1,500,000 ordinary shares at $15 per share for gross proceeds of $22.5 million.
In connection with the follow-on offering, the developer of tests for the early detection of cancer has granted the underwriter the option to purchase up to 225,000 additional ordinary shares at the offering price.
Boustead Securities is the sole underwriter for the offering, which is expected to close on Jan. 28. Ortoli Rosenstadt served as counsel to Mainz Biomed, and Sichenzia, Ross, and Ference served as counsel to the underwriter.
Mainz Biomed went public on the Nasdaq in November, raising $10 million in an initial public offering.
