Cytokinetics extends tenor of $75 million equity financing facility

Agreement with Kingsbridge Capital now slated to expire in March 2011

By Devika Patel

Knoxville, Tenn., Oct. 26 - Cytokinetics, Inc. extended the expiration date of a committed equity financing facility with Kingsbridge Capital Ltd. on Oct. 25, according to an 8-K filed Tuesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The $75 million three-year agreement was negotiated in October 2007.

Under the facility, which will now expire on March 31, 2011, Cytokinetics may access funds in tranches of up to the lesser of $15 million or 2.5% of the company's market capitalization at the time of the drawdown.

The shares will be sold over eight trading days. The price per share on each day will be between 90% and 94% of the volume-weighted average price of the company's shares on that day.

The minimum share price will be the greater of $2.00 or 85% of the closing price of the company's common stock on the last trading day before the pricing period.

Cytokinetics is not required to draw down any of the funds, and the agreement does not prohibit the company from seeking additional financing.

Cytokinetics is a biopharmaceutical company based in South San Francisco, Calif.
