Analyst Update: Public Offerings, Private Placements, and Clinical Trials Data

Reviewed by: Rohit Tuli, CFA(R)

The U.S. stocks ended higher on Monday helped by a late-session rally in the energy shares which also offset a fresh set of disappointing economic data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.14% to close at 17,361.04, the S&P 500 increased 1.30% to close at 2,020.85, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.89% to end at 4,676.69. Energy shares led the advance, with the S&P 500 energy sector ending up nearly 3% following rise in the crude oil prices. Disappointing data on consumer spending and the manufacturing sector released on Monday weighed on the market early in the session. The European stocks ended on a mixed note on Monday amid continued uncertainty over Greece's debt negotiations and rising worries over the health of global economies. The pan-European Euro Stoxx 600 Index closed largely flat. In Asia, markets were mostly under pressure after fresh data raised concerns over China's manufacturing sector.

Israel-based biopharmaceutical Company Alcobra Ltd (Alcobra) reported that it has closed its previously announced public offering of ordinary shares. The Company said it sold 7.5 million ordinary shares in the offering, including 975,000 shares that were issued upon the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option.

Alder BioPharmaceuticals Inc (Alder), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, announced that the underwriters of its previously announced public offering of common stock have exercised in full their option to purchase an additional 0.90 million shares of common stock.

Aldeyra Therapeutics, Inc. (Aldeyra) announced the closing of its previously announced $2.0 million private placement of common stock and a warrant to purchase common stock. Aldeyra plans to use the proceeds for its upcoming Phase II clinical trials in Sjogren-Larsson Syndrome (SLS) and noninfectious anterior uveitis, working capital, and general corporate purposes.

Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Alexion) announced that researchers will present new functional and quality-of-life data from clinical studies in children with hypophosphatasia (HPP) who were treated with asfotase alfa for at least three years at the Endocrine Society's 97th Annual Meeting and Expo (ENDO), to be held on March 5-8, 2015, in San Diego, California.

Alexza Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Alexza) announced that it has initiated a Phase IIa study of AZ-002 (Staccato alprazolam), which is being developed for the management of epilepsy in patients with acute repetitive seizures (ARS). ARS occurs in a subset of patients with epilepsy who regularly experience breakthrough seizures, despite treatment with a regular regimen of anti-epileptic drugs.
