Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
On Monday, Raymond (NSE:RYMD) James maintained a Market Perform rating on Third Harmonic (NASDAQ:HLIT) Bio (NASDAQ:THRD), following the company’s announcement of a liquidation and dissolution plan. The company, currently trading at $5.07, has seen its stock price fall over 70% in the past six months. According to InvestingPro data, Third Harmonic maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, making the liquidation process potentially smoother for shareholders. The decision was made after a strategic review process that began in February 2025 and has now culminated with the Board of Directors’ unanimous approval of the liquidation plan. The plan will be presented for stockholder approval at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for June 5, 2025.
Third Harmonic Bio expects to distribute approximately $246.6 million to $259.8 million to its shareholders, which translates to about $5.13 to $5.42 per share. The initial distribution is projected to be in the range of $246.6 million to $255.4 million, or approximately $5.13 to $5.33 per share, and is anticipated to follow the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution in the third quarter of 2025. The company’s robust current ratio of 40.87 and minimal debt-to-equity ratio of 0.01 support its ability to meet these distribution targets.
The estimates provided by Third Harmonic Bio do not account for any additional cash that may be obtained through the sale of remaining assets and intellectual property. This includes a potential sale of THB335, a key asset for the company. Third Harmonic Bio has plans to reach Phase 2 readiness for THB335 by the middle of the year, aiming to maximize the asset’s value for shareholders during the sale process.
Investors are now waiting for the stockholder meeting where they will vote on the proposed dissolution. If approved, the initial distribution to shareholders is expected to commence following the necessary regulatory filings later this year.
