Why Rent the Runway Shares Are Trading Higher By Around 17%; Here Are 20 Stocks Moving Premarket

Vera Therapeutics, Inc. ("Vera"), a late clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing and commercializing transformative treatments for patients with serious immunological diseases, today announced that it has entered into a new credit facility providing for up to $500 million of term loans with its current partner Oxford Finance LLC ("Oxford"). The new credit facility will replace Vera's existing $50 million credit facility. The initial funding of the new credit facility will be in a principal amount of $75 million and is expected to occur on June 4, 2025.
Highlights of the new credit facility include:
<ul>
<li>Lowered Interest Rate:&nbsp;Reduced borrowing cost by 320 basis points based on current interest rates. The facility will mature five years from the closing date. Interest will be paid monthly at a rate per annum equal to 1-month SOFR plus 4.95%, subject to a SOFR floor of 3.75%.</li>
<li>Increased Capital Availability:&nbsp;Added $450 million of discretionary incremental capacity available in five tranches. At its discretion, Vera may draw up to $50 million from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, not subject&nbsp;to&nbsp;additional performance milestones. Vera has the option to draw $75 million upon accelerated approval of atacicept in immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN), two $50 million tranches post accelerated approval and subject to commercial milestones, and up to $200 million at the mutual discretion of Vera and Oxford.</li>
<li>Improved Structure &amp; Financial Flexibility:&nbsp;Extended the interest only period by up to 42 months and maturity by up to 41 months.&nbsp;As a result of this refinancing, Vera will no longer be required to make principal payments in 2026. The new facility also reduced prepayment and final-payment fees and, combined with the reduced interest rate, results in a cost-effective refinancing that significantly lowers Vera's cost of capital. &nbsp;</li>
</ul>

Vera Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VERA#NASDAQ">VERA</a>) saw its share price surge over 65% during the pre-market trading session on Monday after the company released ORIGIN <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care">Phase 3 trial data</a>.
Participants treated with atacicept for immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) achieved a 46% reduction from baseline in proteinuria as measured by 24-hour urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR), with a statistically significant and clinically meaningful 42% reduction in UPCR compared to placebo (p&lt;0.0001) at week 36.

For other prespecified endpoints, atacicept treatment also demonstrated results that were consistent with or better than those previously observed in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/g45717296/vera-therapeutics-announces-atacicept-achieved-46-proteinuria-reduction-in-origin-phase-3-trial-in" rel="noreferrer noopener">ORIGIN Phase 2b trial</a>.
The safety profile of atacicept in this analysis was favorable and comparable to that of the placebo.
Vera plans to share these results with the FDA in the coming weeks, and full results will be submitted to the American Society of Nephrology Kidney Week.
Vera is poised for potential commercial launch of atacicept in 2026, according to Marshall Fordyce, CEO of Vera Therapeutics.
Vera is currently not sharing estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) results.
The trial continues in a placebo-controlled, blinded manner to evaluate the change in kidney function over two years as measured by eGFR and is expected to be completed in 2027.
Price Action: VERA stock is up 58.9% at $30.33 during the premarket session at the last check on Monday.

If your broker allows you to trade options, you can either buy a put option, or sell a call option at a strike price above where shares are currently trading &#8211; either way it allows you to profit off of the share price decline.
