Filing Summary: Entero Therapeutics, Inc. is seeking to raise funds through an initial public offering by offering 15,228,426 shares of common stock and pre-funded warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares at an expected public offering price of $0.394 per share. The company, which focuses on non-systemic therapies for gastrointestinal diseases, has recently undergone a significant merger with ImmunogenX, Inc. and is currently involved in a rescission agreement aimed at nullifying this transaction. If successful, this rescission will transfer ImmunogenX's liabilities back to its former shareholders, relieving Entero of further financial responsibility. The firm’s financial standing is precarious as it faces significant losses and has a going concern qualification from its auditors. With substantial operating losses reported, Entero emphasizes the risks involved in this offering and seeks to attract investors amidst its restructuring efforts. The offering is indicative of its ongoing efforts to stabilize operations and pursue strategic objectives in the biotech sector.
