EnGene (NASDAQ:ENGN) stock is continuing to rally on Thursday following the company’s public debut yesterday.

EnGene stock made its first appearance on the Nasdaq Exchange Wednesday after completing a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) merger. That also saw it secure an oversubscribed private investment in public equity (PIPE).

Following the success of the SPAC and PIPE, the company secured gross proceeds of 191 million CAD. That will give the company funds to operate as a public entity, such as for business operations or its treatment developments.

Jason Hanson, CEO of enGene, said the following in a news release:

“Lumira Ventures financial support and strategic guidance have been critical to enGene’s ability to develop our therapeutic platform, build a world-class team, and complete this important transaction […] We now look forward to advancing our shared mission to expand genetic medicine into the mainstream of clinical practice and address the high disease burden faced by patients in our areas of focus.”
