Cancer therapy developer OncoGenex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: OGXI) has priced a secondary offering of 4.165 million common shares at $12.00/share, a discount of 31% to yesterday’s closing price of $17.43. Needless to say the shares are getting pounded today.

OncoGenex expects to realize about $46.8 million from the offering, net of fees and expenses. Leerink Swann LLC and Stifel Nicolaus Weisel are acting as joint book-running managers and Lazard Capital Markets LLC and William Blair & Company, L.L.C. are acting as co-managers. The underwriters have a 30-day over-allotment option of 624,750 shares.

The company did not specify how it plans to use the proceeds from the sale.

Shares are down nearly -20% at $13.99 in a 52-week range of $8.63-$18.99.
