Delcath closes 5 million share offering at $23.5 million | Funding Roundup

By

Delcath Chemosat

Delcath Systems Inc. (NSDQ:DCTH) closed its offering of 5 million shares of common stock with a reported $23.5 million raised.

Shares sold for $5.05, driving down the company’s shares 14 percent on The Street, from a closing price of $5.87 on July 14, the day of the offering, to $5.06 by the end of the day July 15.

The New York-based company granted the sole bookrunner in the deal, Jeffries & Company, an over-allotment option to purchase up to 750,000 shares more at the same price until mid-month August 2011, according to the report.

Delcath stock has had a number of spikes and troughs over the last year, and last month company president & CEO Eamonn Hobbs told MassDevice what might be driving the roller coaster:

Delcath is an extremely volatile stock and there a number of components to that. One is that it’s a stock that’s shareholder based, that’s dominated by retail shareholders who tend to be much more active traders. The trading volume is high and the volatility seems to be equally high. The stock seems to go up significantly on good news and down significantly on bad news — or no news.

Delcath shares closed at $5.09 today, 1 cent lower than yesterday.
