MINNEAPOLIS, MN / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2022 / Celcuity Inc. (NASDAQ:CELC), a clinical-stage biotechnology company, today announced the closing of its private placement, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $100 million, before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses. The closing follows dosage of the first patient in Celcuity's Phase 3 clinical trial, VIKTORIA-1, evaluating gedatolisib, Celcuity's lead therapeutic candidate. As a result of the closing, Celcuity will be eligible to draw on a $20 million tranche of a term loan under the terms of a $75 million debt facility, as amended in August this year. The proceeds from the private placement, combined with the debt facility and the company's current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, are expected to be sufficient to fund the company's current operating plan through 2025. Celcuity intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement, together with its existing cash and investments, for working capital and general corporate purposes.
