Overview
Body
The Life Sciences industry is a major driver of San Diego’s innovation economy, accounting for over $33B in total economic impact. This DealStory will focus on the recent "merger of equals" agreement between San Diego-based Cend Therapeutics and Caladrius Biosciences. This strategic merger created a financially sound company with a diverse product development pipeline, providing the financial ability to scale, and a collaborative leadership team perfectly aligned with identical visions for future growth.
Join us to learn the stepping stones of how this all-stock transaction was made possible, from its humble early stage at Sanford Burnham, to what ultimately led to the development of a new publicly traded company. Along with its leading-edge product offerings, the icing on the cake for Founder Erkki Ruoslahti was receiving the prestigious Lasker Award, the US version of the Nobel Prize, in September.
Key Takeaways:
- How can M&A serve as an alternative fundraising vehicle to an IPO?
- How is the San Diego life sciences community on the leading edge of oncology therapeutics?
- How did the merger of Cend and Caladrius bring together a diverse product pipeline with robust clinical trial resources?
Panelists:
- Paul Johnson | Partner, Procopio
- David Slack | President & CEO, Cend Therapeutics
