Tony Coles, Cerevel Therapeutics CEO

While PhI­II Parkin­son's tri­als go slow­er than ex­pect­ed, Cerev­el pre­views plans to raise $900M

Tony Coles set out to build “the pre­mier neu­ro­science com­pa­ny” at Cerev­el. And that means putting fundrais­ing plans in place well in ad­vance.

Just weeks af­ter ty­ing the knot on a $599 mil­lion haul — from a dual stock sale and con­vert­ible debt arrange­ment — the biotech has filed a state­ment with the SEC to raise up to $900 mil­lion over the next few years.

“As part of good cor­po­rate house­keep­ing and in line with our goal to get new neu­ro­science med­i­cines to peo­ple who need them as quick­ly as pos­si­ble, we like to en­sure that we have ac­cess to cap­i­tal for the fu­ture; this fil­ing is one of mul­ti­ple tools we could use to do that; we made a sim­i­lar fil­ing last No­vem­ber as well,” a spokesper­son told End­points News.
