Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Crescent Biopharma, Inc. received an updated ownership disclosure from Fairmount Funds Management LLC, Fairmount Healthcare Fund II L.P., and principals Peter Harwin and Tomas Kiselak. The group reports beneficial ownership of 6,593,385 Ordinary Shares of Crescent Biopharma, representing 16.50% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding, based on 39,960,923 Ordinary Shares as of July 16, 2026. This position includes 3,601,316 Ordinary Shares, 2,890,000 Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of 2,890 Series A Preferred Shares, and 102,069 Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of Pre-Funded Warrants, while excluding 2,191,968 additional warrant shares due to beneficial ownership limits.
On July 16, 2026, Fairmount Healthcare Fund II L.P. purchased 853,450 Ordinary Shares at $14.50 per share and Pre-Funded Warrants to purchase 525,897 Ordinary Shares at $14.499 each in an underwritten public offering, for an aggregate purchase price of $20,000,005.60, using working capital. The securities were acquired for investment purposes.
The reporting persons entered into a 60-day Lock-Up Agreement following the final prospectus supplement, restricting sales of Crescent Biopharma securities without underwriters’ consent. The Pre-Funded Warrants carry a $0.001 exercise price, are immediately exercisable, and do not expire, but are subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation, which can be adjusted up to 19.99% with a 61-day delay. Conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares is capped at 19.99%, automatically dropping to 9.99% if Fairmount and affiliates’ ownership falls to 9.0% or less. Harwin also holds options for 9,023 Ordinary Shares at $15.30 per share that vested on June 2, 2026, but he disclaims beneficial ownership in favor of Fairmount-managed funds.
