Rapt Therapeutics

FCPM III Services B.V. acquired 1,489,096 RAPT Therapeutics shares in Q4, an estimated $46.24 million purchase based on quarterly average pricing that rose to $53.22 million by quarter-end. Shortly after the position was built, GSK agreed to acquire RAPT for $58 per share, roughly a 90% premium to the quarter's average purchase price, turning the holding into near-immediate gains. The trade reflects conviction in RAPT's clinical-stage assets—not deal certainty—and was effectively converted into takeout arbitrage when the acquisition closed. » Altro su finance.yahoo.com
