LogicBio Therapeutics (OTCMKTS:LOGC) was a clinical-stage genetic medicine company focused on developing therapies for patients with serious genetic and metabolic diseases. The company’s research centered on genetic medicine technologies designed to address the underlying causes of disease rather than treat symptoms alone.

LogicBio’s principal platform, GeneRide, was developed to enable the targeted insertion of therapeutic genes into the genome. The company also pursued GeneWare, a platform intended to support gene-editing applications. Its development programs included LB-001, an investigational treatment for methylmalonic acidemia, and additional programs targeting genetic disorders such as hemophilia.

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts, LogicBio operated as a biotechnology company serving the global genetic medicine market through research and clinical development activities. Fred Chereau served as the company’s president and chief executive officer during its publicly traded period.

In 2022, Alexion, AstraZeneca’s rare-disease business, completed its acquisition of LogicBio. Following the transaction, LogicBio became a wholly owned subsidiary, and its standalone public-company operations and stock listing were discontinued.

[Rishi Bajaj, CEO at ContextLogic]

Good afternoon. I would like to briefly highlight our operating results for the quarter ending March 31, 2025. In Q1 2025, we raised $75 million in cash from BC Partners through an investment in a subsidiary of the company, which also included a company option for an additional $75 million that we can call to help fund the future acquisition. We incurred $6 million of G&A expenses, which include $2 million of expenses related to the evaluation of perceived potential transactions, including the BC Partners' strategic investment. We incurred $3 million of costs directly related to the BC Partners' investment, which are recorded as stock issuance costs. This implies that we expended approximately $5 million of cash on transaction-related costs during the quarter. Our cash expenses were offset by interest income of approximately $2 million.

[Rishi Bajaj, CEO at ContextLogic]

We closed the quarter with $222 million of cash, cash equivalents of marketable securities, which includes the $75 million we raised from BC Partners. This compares to $149 million at the end of fiscal year 2024. As evidenced by our limited cash burden, we are committed to keeping cash expenses low in order to leave us with the most cash possible to grow and create, both organically and through acquisitions, a strong and durable business. Since BC Partners closed the strategic investment in ContextLogic, Ted Goldthorpe and the BC Partners' team have worked daily with ContextLogic to identify growth and acquisition opportunities. We have been overwhelmed by the effort from BC Partners in expanding our pipeline of opportunities and enhancing our capabilities, and we are extremely encouraged by the receptiveness of our potential partners, as well as the quality of inbound outreach.

[Rishi Bajaj, CEO at ContextLogic]

Ted and I are excited to share more with you in the coming quarters as we make progress along our growth strategy.

Ladies and gentlemen, this does conclude today's conference call. Again, thank you very much for joining us today. You may all disconnect and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.
