LSTA Lisata Therapeutics Inc

$LSTA Is this getting cheap again?? Not as simple a set-up as before. But the merged company will be a very decent company with great assets and runway through 2028. Funding at $1.49 ($225M).

$LSTA Sold this one today for a decent profit. Not the result I wanted, but profit is profit. Was hoping for KUVA to buy this though, likely would have been better for shareholders. Still could have a nice run, but not gonna stick around to find out. GLTA!

$LSTA Not best case scenario for me. Nice assets, top institutions but no short term catalyst. Not the type of investment I am interested in the current market. Good luck to those holding May get pumped higher (or not). Kuva is screwed btw.

$LSTA Fundamental Revaluation: Lisata went from a tiny company with a $14 million market cap to one sitting on $225 million in cash. On paper, a company backed by major institutional players like RA Capital Management and Third Rock Ventures is worth significantly more than a struggling micro-cap, which is why the stock initially spiked to $2.50 at the open today.High-Value Clinical Market: If the Phase 2b trials for cardioendocrine diseases succeed in 2027, the addressable commercial market is massive. Success would easily justify a surge in the stock price.

$LSTA The $225M PIPE includes RA Capital, Perceptive, Nantahala, venBio & other institutionla investors.

$LSTA Slide 4 has the cap structure of the deal. Slide 6 has the new pipeline. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320017/000114036126036866/ef20082158_ex99-2.htm LSTA currently has 9m shares outstanding. Merea shareholders will be issued 1.8m shares, 211k Series C preferred shares, and 23k Series C options. Full conversion of the Series C preferred & options would equal approx 236m shares total issued to Merea: 1.8m + 211.4m after Series C conversion + 22.8m after Series C option exercise & conversion. PIPE investors are buying 151k Sereis C preferred shares, which would be 150.9m shares after conversion.

$LSTA 590m valued company w/ TOP-TIER investors and we get 2.39% , which implies a valuation of 14m / 9m shares OS = ~1.57/share FLOOR. This should get a good pop as well very nice assets in Phase 2 trials.

$LSTA what a joke this co and CEO has 9 lives - its raised over a B and has had more acquisition failures, then new acquistion failures to tell a new story than i can count glta

$LSTA if i held this and it opened at 1.50 after the halt i'd get out right away not the scenario i was hoping for

$LSTA Looks like Kuva either couldn't come up with a good enough offer. The board would rather do a reverse merger with Marea.

$LSTA For my fellow Lisata-ians, I see $LGVN now as the new LSTA when LSTA was trading at $1.0/share. See my post in the LGVN chat but I think it's a great opportunity for those looking to slowly shift out of LSTA into another similar play. Cash strapped strategic alternative play w/ a more valuable drug than Certepetide imo.

$LSTA Still holding 1/2 of my position in case it runs up a bit in the coming days/week but made out on good profit on other half. I think Kuva screwed around too long and screwed themselves in the process trying to lowball and mess around for too long. LSTA said "f*ck around and find out". Certepitide goes to the new combined company. According to SEC filing LSTA actually has -3m in cash after this process so the 14m valuation given to the company includes the NASDAQ listing value as well as value for Certeptitide. Marea clearly wanted the drug as part of the deal, I'm assuming this is why LSTA did not do a deal w/ Kuva first then merge the shell after. This merger was likely contingent on the drug coming along w/ it. I'm assuming the lawsuit against Kuva still stands as well.

$LSTA The last green candle rally was produced by an increase in volume...not huge vol but substantially higher 200k on the 5 min candle at 8:30 p.s.t.

$LSTA or kuva didnt make a new offer and they will have to pay damages in a tril or kuva offered lower than this prices, and so still will have to pay damages or kuva made a very good deal but ceo prefered this solution and in this case is the board that risk a lawsuit if prices don't get better than the kuva offer in few words they passed from a up to 7$ buyout to a merge of 1.6$ lawsuits coming baby

$LSTA Lisata Therapeutics Announces Acquisition of Marea Therapeutics and $225 Million Concurrent Private Placement

$LSTA most of those still holding were looking for a quick cashout from kuva (if they could get the money up) and maybe a cvr if it made the deal happen IMO shareholders would've been better served with $2-$2.50 kuva cash than getting 2.5% of some south san fran bio no one ever heard of till this morning good luck if you wanna take that journey, heck buy more $LSTA if it pleases you this name has always seemed scammy, even from the days as CLBS

$LSTA existing holders GOT DILUTED BY 97.5%. So basically you owned and shell and now own 2% of the new biz

$LSTA 52 week low appears to be holding… for now. The precipitous drop however gives me the feeling we’re going to see the floor break sometime this week

$LSTA Could it be that this going down due to the planned RS for the merger?? (silly if yes)

$LSTA what a frikkin bust hope you sucker buyers didn't pay 1.50 for these toxic shares 2.5% of the new company !!! ahhhhhhhhh
