SF biotech company, once worth nearly $1 billion, plans to shut down
Briefly

Third Harmonic Bio, a biotech company focused on inflammatory disease research, has decided to shut down and liquidate its assets after laying off half its staff in February. Their board approved a liquidation plan for shareholder vote, and with significant cash reserves, the company's stock rose in anticipation of a payout. While the management emphasizes the potential of their drug for chronic spontaneous urticaria, the shutdown marks a significant setback for investors and employees as they navigate this dissolution process and its implications for future operations.
The announcement of Third Harmonic Bio's shutdown comes after substantial layoffs and signifies a crucial turning point for the company, emphasizing challenges in continuing its operations ahead.
Third Harmonic's board unanimously approved a liquidation plan, with stock prices rising in anticipation of a per-share payout, reflecting investor sentiment on the dissolution.
With a Phase 2 trial in the works for its hives drug, Third Harmonic aims to enhance its asset value even as it moves towards liquidation.
