About this update from Gossamer Bio, Inc.

Gossamer Bio, Inc. (Nasdaq: GOSS) (the “Company” or “Gossamer”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of seralutinib for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD), today announced that it has entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain new and existing institutional investors for a private placement financing expected to provide aggregate gross proceeds of up to approximately $250 million, before deducting placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses.
