MapLight's resale prospectus lets the investors in its $150.0 million August placement sell up to 13,181,055 shares. The company receives no proceeds from those sales.
MapLight agreed to sell 9,197,887 voting shares at $11.38 and pre-funded warrants for 3,983,168 more shares, for about $150.0 million gross before fees.
MapLight reported $351.3 million in cash and investments at June 30, 2026 and cited funding through 2028. It also agreed to a private placement of about $150.0 million at $11.38 a share. Six-month operating cash use was $96.0 million.
MapLight Therapeutics closed its initial public offering at $17.00 a share, and the underwriters exercised their option for more shares in full. Its lead drug has no Phase 2 results yet.
At $7.97 a share, MapLight trades at roughly the cash we estimate it holds, so investors pay little for a schizophrenia drug with one moderate Phase 2 win that still needs a second trial. We rate the shares Outperform.
