These funds were raised at a 6.4% discount of $6.30 and will be used to shore up its balance sheet given the uncertain macroeconomic environment. Not even news that Life360 has received takeover interest has been able to keep the Life360 share price from falling today.
Paradigm Biopharmaceuticals Ltd (ASX: PAR)
The Paradigm share price is down 11% to $1.51. Investors have been selling this pharmaceutical companyâs shares after it announced the exit of its CEO after less than five months in the role.
