Calidi Biotherapeutics Inc. (NYSE:CLDI) shares tumbled 35.04% in after-hours trading on Thursday to $0.50.

The after-hours rally came after the San Diego-based biotech announced an underwritten public offering after the markets closed on Thursday.

Calidi plans to offer units of common stock or pre-funded warrants, with the pre-funded warrants available to select investors instead of shares, and each unit will include common warrants.

According to the company’s press release, Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. is the sole book-running manager.

The clinical-stage company said it intends to use the proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.
