4D Molecular Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology firm specializing in gene therapy products with a market capitalization of $320 million, has engaged in a securities exchange agreement with RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. According to InvestingPro data, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with more cash than debt on its balance sheet. The transaction, which took place on December 6, 2024, involved RA Capital exchanging 535,000 shares of the company's common stock for a pre-funded warrant to acquire an equivalent number of shares.
The pre-funded warrant, which has an exercise price of $0.0001 per share, is immediately exercisable and remains valid until fully exercised. It is subject to adjustment in cases of stock splits, dividends, and similar corporate events, as well as during distributions of assets to stockholders. A key feature of the warrant includes a beneficial ownership blocker, limiting the holder from acquiring a beneficial ownership exceeding 9.99% of the company's issued and outstanding common stock.
This strategic financial move was executed without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by relying on the exemption provided in Section 3(a)(9) of the Act. The specific terms of the pre-funded warrant can be found in the form filed as Exhibit 4.1 in the company's SEC filing.
