Immunovant, Inc. (IMVT) priced an underwritten offering of 26.2 million shares of its common stock at $21.00 per share, a transaction that is expected to raise approximately $550 million in gross proceeds.
The company will use the proceeds to fund operating expenses and capital expenditures through the anticipated commercial launch of its next‑generation FcRn inhibitor, IMVT‑1402, in the Graves’ disease indication. The financing extends Immunovant’s cash runway, giving the company additional time to advance the candidate across multiple indications while maintaining its current burn rate.
IMVT‑1402 is positioned as a first‑and‑best‑in‑class FcRn inhibitor, and the company’s focus on Graves’ disease reflects a strategic priority to capture a sizable autoimmune market. The move also signals Immunovant’s intent to accelerate development and bring the drug to market faster than competitors such as argenx, which has already commercialized its own FcRn inhibitor.
Roivant Sciences, the controlling shareholder, will purchase shares in the offering, and Leerink Partners is acting as the sole underwriter. The participation of Roivant underscores the parent company’s confidence in the program and provides a committed buyer base for the new shares.
Investors have reacted to the dilution risk and the timing of the offering, with market participants weighing the immediate impact of new shares against the long‑term benefits of an extended runway and accelerated product launch. The announcement has prompted a short‑term market adjustment as analysts assess the trade‑off between dilution and the strategic value of the financing.
