Cellectis S.A.: Calyxt Announces Pricing of $56.0 Million Initial Public Offering
ST. PAUL, Minn. & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2017--Regulatory News:
Cellectis S.A. (Paris:ALCLS) (NASDAQ:CLLS) and Calyxt, Inc. announced today the pricing of Calyxt’s initial public offering of 7,000,000 shares of its common stock at the initial public offering price of $8.00 per share (the “Offering”). The number of shares in the Offering represents an increase of 939,394 shares from the 6,060,606 shares previously disclosed, and the initial public offering price represents a decrease from the previously disclosed estimated price range of $15.00 to $18.00 per share. In addition, Calyxt granted the underwriters for the Offering an option to purchase up to 1,050,000 additional shares of Calyxt’s common stock at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discount. The Offering is expected to close on or about July 25, 2017, subject to customary closing conditions. Calyxt’s shares of common stock have been approved for listing on NASDAQ and are expected to begin trading under the ticker symbol “CLXT” on July 20, 2017.

Immediately following completion of the Offering after giving effect to the 2,500,000 shares of common stock Cellectis purchased in the Offering, Cellectis will own approximately 83.1% of Calyxt’s outstanding shares of common stock (or 79.9% if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full).
