RA Capital Management, L.P. increased its holdings to 26,529,686 shares by acquiring 241,593 shares of voting common stock of Parabilis Medicines, Inc. (ticker: PBLS) in separate transactions between July 20 and 22 at prices totaling approximately $27.15 million (between $27.13 and $30.00 per share).[2] This represents an increase from 26,383,526 shares and underscores the 10%+ shareholder and focused healthcare investor’s continued post-listing purchases.[2]
RA Capital holds PBLS voting common stock through RA Capital Healthcare Fund, L.P. and RA Capital Nexus Fund III, L.P., and RA Capital Management, L.P., RA Capital Management GP, LLC, as well as related individuals such as Peter Kolchinsky and Rajeev Shah, disclaim beneficial ownership beyond their respective pecuniary interests.[2] Jake Simson, a partner at RA Capital, serves on Parabilis’ board of directors, and this open-market purchase is interpreted as part of a longer-term stake buildup tied to that board appointment.[2]
