Dendreon Corp Raises $26.7 M

DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

SEATTLE -- Dendreon Corp. (DNDN) raised $26.7 million in a stock sale, part of which will be used to develop the company's investigational cancer vaccine, Provenge.

In a press release Friday, the Seattle drug maker said it sold 3.8 million shares at $7 a share to Baystar Capital, Mazama Capital Management and one additional existing Dendreon stockholder. The per-share sale price is at a 17% discount to Dendreon's closing Thursday price of $8.21, up 2 cents, or 0.2%.

The company said it will use the proceeds to further the development of Provenge, a vaccine that treats androgen independent prostate cancer, and for general working capital purposes. That vaccine served as a catalyst to Dendreon's stock price surge on Wednesday, when the Food and Drug Administration said the company's Phase III Provenge trial could be used as a basis for approval.
