Palisade Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ:PALI), a biotechnology company currently trading at $1.86 with a market capitalization of approximately $180 million, announced Monday that its annual meeting of stockholders was held on Friday.

In other recent news, Palisade Bio has successfully closed a public offering, raising approximately $138 million in gross proceeds. This move is expected to support the development of its inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) drug. The offering was priced at $0.70 per share, and the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option. Additionally, Palisade Bio has regained compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement, a matter that had been pending since April. The company received confirmation from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department, marking a significant step for Palisade Bio. In another development, Palisade Bio has dosed the first patients in a Phase 1b clinical study of its drug candidate PALI-2108 for fibrostenotic Crohn’s disease. The study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the drug over a 14-day period. Furthermore, Palisade Bio has been granted a Canadian patent for PALI-2108, ensuring composition-of-matter protection through May 2041.
