This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the preliminary prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the preliminary prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CERE.” On August 11, 2022, the last reported sale price of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market was $35.63 per share.

Concurrent Convertible Note Offering:   

Concurrently with this offering of common stock, we are offering 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million (or $345.0 million if the initial purchasers of such offering exercise in full their option to purchase additional notes) to “qualified institutional buyers,” in an offering exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a separate offering memorandum (the “Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering”). Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and during certain periods, the notes may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 21.5633 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $46.38 per share of common stock). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment if certain events occur. Neither the completion of this common stock offering nor of the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering is contingent on the completion of the other, so it is possible that this common stock offering occurs and the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering does not occur, and vice versa. We cannot assure you that the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering will be completed on the terms described herein, or at all.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will the conversion rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 28.5714 shares of our common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which amount is subject to adjustment in the same manner as, and at the same time and for the same events for which, the conversion rate is required to be adjusted pursuant to the indenture governing the notes.

Use of Proceeds:   

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this common stock offering will be approximately $238.3 million (or approximately $274.0 million if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full), after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. In addition, we estimate that the net proceeds to us from the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $291.1 million (or approximately $334.8 million if the initial purchasers in that offering exercise in full their option to purchase additional notes).

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering of common stock and, if consummated, the Concurrent Convertible Notes Offering: (i) to support the continued development of emraclidine, including to accelerate registration-enabling activities; (ii) to evaluate the potential of emraclidine in other populations, including Alzheimer’s disease psychosis; (iii) to accelerate market development and pre-commercial planning activities for emraclidine and tavapadon; (iv) to advance the remainder of the programs in our pipeline, including darigabat, and our other promising earlier-stage programs, including CVL-354, our selective KORA; and (v) for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including to extend our cash runway.

 

These intentions are subject to change. See “Use of Proceeds” in the preliminary prospectus for additional information.
