On January 24, 2024, Tourmaline Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) announced the commencement of an underwritten public offering of its common stock (“the Offering”). The Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a preliminary prospectus supplement (the “Preliminary Prospectus Supplement”) to its effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-266875) pursuant to Rule 424(b)(5) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), relating to the Offering. The Company will include the following disclosure in the Preliminary Prospectus Supplement:
“We have not finalized our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. Based on our current estimates, we expect to report that we had approximately $203.0 million in total unrestricted cash and investments as of December 31, 2023.”
Our actual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023 are not yet available. The actual amounts that we report will be subject to our financial closing procedures and any final adjustments that may be made prior to the time our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023 are finalized and filed with the SEC. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the preliminary financial data. This estimate should not be viewed as a substitute for financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and it is not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved in any future period.
The information in this Item 2.02 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
