Englewood Cliffs, NJ – October 23, 2017 - Immune Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the "Company”) announced today the public disclosure of certain information regarding its current financial position.

 

As disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as of June 30, 2017, the Company had approximately $22,000 in cash. As a result of several financing transactions, which occurred since that date and are disclosed in the Company’s Current Reports filed on Form 8-K with the SEC, the Company’s cash balance as of October 22, 2017 was approximately $56,000.

 

In addition to the foregoing, on October 19, 2017, the Company announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of units for gross proceeds of $18,000,000 (the “Offering”), which excludes underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by the Company. The Offering is comprised of units, priced at a public offering price of $1,000 per unit. Each unit consists of one share of Series E Convertible Preferred Stock and 982 warrants (the “Warrants”), each of which entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock. The Warrants are initially exercisable at an exercise price of $1.10 per share and expire 7 years from the date of issuance. The Offering closed on October 23, 2017. Net proceeds to the Company after deduction of offering expenses, including attorneys’ fees and auditor fees, and repayment in full of the Company’s outstanding senior secured convertible note were $14,692,290. This amount, together with the Company’s cash balance of approximately $56,000 as of October 22, 2017, should be sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, including ongoing phase 2 clinical trials, through calendar year 2018.

About Immune Pharmaceuticals Inc.

 

Immune Pharmaceuticals is a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of immunologic and inflammatory diseases. Immune’s lead program, bertilimumab, is a first-in-class, fully human monoclonal antibody that targets and lowers levels of eotaxin-1, a chemokine that plays a role in immune responses and attracts eosinophils to the site of inflammation. By neutralizing eotaxin-1, bertilimumab may prevent the migration of eosinophils and other cells, thus helping to relieve associated inflammatory conditions. Currently, Immune is conducting two phase 2 clinical trials to test bertilimumab in patients suffering from bullous pemphigoid and ulcerative colitis, respectively. Bertilimumab may have application in other diseases, including atopic dermatitis, immune and inflammatory hepatitis, and asthma.
