Biodel will issue about 3.26 million shares, and 550,000 shares are being sold by certain unnamed stockholders of the company. The selling stockholders have also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 571,500 shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any.
Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc. is acting as the sole book-runner manager and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. is acting as co-lead manager for this offering. Leerink Swann LLC and Natixis Bleichroeder Inc. are acting as co-managers.
Biodel, which went public in May 2007, is developing treatments for endocrine disorders such as diabetes and osteoporosis. The company reported a net loss of $22.5 million for 2007, on zero revenue.
