Investment vehicles managed by RA Capital Management reported open‑market purchases of 21,188,750 shares of Parabilis Medicines Voting Common Stock at $20.00 per share. These positions are held indirectly through RA Capital Healthcare Fund LP and RA Capital Nexus Fund III, L.P., with the adviser and principals disclaiming beneficial ownership beyond their pecuniary interest.
In addition, Series E and Series F Preferred Stock automatically converted into Voting Common Stock immediately prior to the IPO closing, at ratios of 0.6524% and 0.6498% common shares per preferred share, respectively, without additional consideration. These conversions eliminate those preferred positions in favor of common equity exposure.
