"Today we took an important step to enhance our capital structure, giving us the tools to potentially build upon our financial position with a number of upcoming value-inflection points over the next year," said Dr. Thomas Cannell, president and chief executive officer of Sesen Bio. "This was an important strategic decision to position the Company with the greatest optionality as we prepare for upcoming FDA engagements, our planned BLA submission and a potential future approval of Vicinium for patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The remainder of 2019 will be a critical period for Sesen Bio, and we look forward to continued progress across the organization."
