Activist Yakira Capital Management publicly called on Atrium Therapeutics' Board to initiate a strategic review, curtail cash spending, and explain its October 8 decision to raise $50 million via private placement at roughly $7.93 per share. Yakira estimates Atrium held about $254 million in net cash at Q3-end (~$14.85 per share), meaning the stock trades below cash value, and highlights up to $1.35 billion in R&D milestones plus $825 million in commercial milestones from the Bristol Myers Squibb collaboration, with $30 million already earned.
