Insights

Coherus raised about $47.0 million in an underwritten common stock offering.

Coherus Oncology entered an underwriting agreement on February 12, 2026 to sell 28,600,000 common shares at a public price of $1.75 per share. Underwriters purchased at $1.645 per share, reflecting their discount and commissions.

The transaction, completed on February 17, 2026, delivered net proceeds of approximately $47.0 million before expenses, providing new cash to the company. A 30-day option allows underwriters to buy up to 4,290,000 additional shares to cover over-allotments, so actual issuance could increase depending on demand.

Coherus, its directors, executive officers and certain affiliated stockholders agreed not to sell additional common stock for 60 days after February 12, 2026, except as described in the prospectus supplement. This lock-up limits near-term insider and company share sales while the offering is absorbed.

Additionally, under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option, for 30 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, to purchase up to an additional 4,290,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Optional Shares,” and together with the Firm Shares, the “Shares”).
