Liminatus Pharma, Inc. (NASDAQ:LIMN) shares are trending on Wednesday night.

Shares of the California-based immuno-oncology biotechnology company jumped 30.49% to $0.15 in after-hours trading after Liminatus amended and restated its merger agreement with InnocsAI LLC, a cell-therapy developer, on Tuesday.

Revised Structure Fast-Tracks Closing

The company said the revised structure allows the deal to close before obtaining shareholder approval, with closing now expected on Thursday. 

Under the amended terms, InnocsAI equity holders will receive a combination of Liminatus common stock, capped at 19.99% of outstanding shares under Nasdaq rules, and non-voting convertible preferred stock. The total consideration is valued at $0.20 per common share, implying a total deal value of about $320 million. Equity holders will also receive contingent value rights worth 20% of future net proceeds from certain strategic transactions.

CEO Chris Kim called the merger a “transformational step” in the company’s strategy to build a diversified oncology biotechnology company.
