Zelira Therapeutics Limited-HOPE® 1 SPV Secures US$33.0 million Funding

Zelira Therapeutics Limited (ASX: ZLD) released a price-sensitive announcement confirming that its HOPE® 1 special purpose vehicle has signed definitive agreements to raise US$32.98 million before costs. Following completion, ThirdGate Capital will hold a 50.0% fully diluted interest in HOPE® 1 SPV, with Zelira retaining a 39.7% interest. The transaction implies a post-money valuation of US$65.96 million for the SPV and a post-money valuation of Zelira’s interest at approximately US$26.19 million. The funding supports the advancement of HOPE® 1 through the US FDA regulatory pathway, following a successful Pre-IND meeting in which the FDA confirmed the proposed clinical plan and recognised Phelan-McDermid Syndrome as a rare disease. This enables Zelira to pursue Orphan Drug Designation and progress towards IND submission and first-in-human clinical trials. The capital raise represents a significant validation of the HOPE® program and materially strengthens Zelira’s development pathway.
