Imugene azer-cel clinical development funding receives a $20 million boost via institutional placement, SPP, and restructured convertible notes — extending the company's runway into Q4 2026 as it expands its Phase 1b CAR T trial with a new BTKi combination cohort.

  • Imugene has launched a $20 million capital raise combining a $12 million institutional placement, a share purchase plan underwritten to a minimum of $4 million, and restructured zero-coupon convertible notes with CVI Investments Inc.
  • Proceeds from the Imugene azer-cel clinical development funding will expand Cohort 2 and launch a new Cohort 3 evaluating BTKi combination strategies in the ongoing Phase 1b clinical trial
  • The funding runway is extended into Q4 2026, providing financial certainty through multiple clinical data readouts from the off-the-shelf CD19-targeting CAR T therapy
  • Eligible shareholders registered by 7:00pm Sydney time on 10 March 2026 can participate in the SPP at up to $30,000 per holder with no brokerage fees, with the offer opening 20 March 2026
  • Attaching options at $0.18 and piggyback options at $0.30 create a cascading incentive structure that could deliver up to $20 million in additional capital if exercised prior to their respective expiry dates
