Processa Pharmaceuticals closed its merger with Vidya Therapeutics on July 28, issuing common and Series A preferred shares to Vidya holders and targeting a tax-free reorganization. Assuming preferred conversion, Vidya holders will own about 97% pre-PIPE; a $200.0 million PIPE of Series A preferred is expected to close July 30 to fund operations into the second half of 2029 and advance Phase 2 programs in food allergy, CSU, and RMS. The company also entered stockholder support and 180-day lock-up agreements and granted PIPE investors registration rights. Separately, Processa ended its Elion license for PCS6422 via a settlement, returning the program, paying $650,000, and providing a contingent 7.5% NewCo equity grant.
