Filing Summary: Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. has filed an S-1/A registration statement with the SEC for its initial public offering (IPO) seeking to sell 4,500,000 shares of common stock with an anticipated price range between $4.00 and $5.00. The company is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical entity focused on developing Apitox, a bee venom-based therapy for osteoarthritis (OA) pain management. The company seeks to list on the NYSE American under the symbol 'APUS.' Apimeds is currently under the control of Inscobee Inc., which owns roughly 70.28% of the company’s shares, reducing to approximately 45.78% post-offering. Apimeds intends to use the proceeds from this IPO to fund a Phase III clinical trial for Apitox and to support advancement in other areas like multiple sclerosis (MS). The document highlights risks related to its clinical development process and indicates that no public market for the company’s shares currently exists. Apimeds has yet to generate revenue from the sale of Apitox in the U.S., and its previous Phase III trials did not meet FDA approval standards, necessitating another Phase III trial.

Filing Summary: Apimeds Pharmaceuticals US, Inc. is initiating a firm commitment initial public offering (IPO) of 4,500,000 shares of common stock, with an anticipated initial offering price between $4.00 and $5.00. This IPO is contingent upon the successful listing of their common stock on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol 'APUS.' Currently, the company, which specializes in developing a bee venom-based treatment called Apitox for conditions like osteoarthritis (OA) and multiple sclerosis (MS), has not had any public market for its common stock. As part of the offering, existing stockholders have expressed interest in purchasing shares representing up to approximately $6.0 million of the offering, translating to about 33% of the shares to be sold. Apimeds is categorized as an emerging growth company and has opted for reduced public company reporting obligations due to its status. Inscobee Inc., a South Korean parent company, is the major stakeholder, owning around 70.28% of Apimeds, which will reduce to approximately 45.78% post-offering. The offering aims to fund further development of Apitox, specifically pursuing a Phase III trial focused on OA, and to support potential clinical studies in MS. Apimeds also notes significant market potential in the U.S. for OA therapeutics, with the market expected to grow substantially over the next decade. The document outlines various risks associated with the clinical development of their product and the broader impact of chronic conditions on patients' quality of life.
