Why Did The Novan (NOVN) Stock Rise Nearly 18% On Friday?

As a result of its subsidiary entering into a finance deal, Novan Inc. (NASD: NOVN) is soaring on the charts today, up 18.42% to trade at $1.35 at the most recent check.

Which contract has the NOVN subsidiary entered?

EPI Health, LLC, a fully consolidated subsidiary of Novan (NOVN), has inked accounts receivable-backed factoring arrangement with Bay View Funding, a wholly owned subsidiary of Heritage Bank of Commerce, to support its operations (Nasdaq: HTBK).

This agreement with Bay View provides Novan with another non-dilutive funding source that enables it to manage its working capital in a way that will support the consolidation of its company and the pursuit of its strategic goals. NOVN added this factoring agreement to its potential resources for the Company as it works to carry out commercial growth initiatives.

In November, NOVN signed a memorandum of understanding for the potential out-licensing of its Rhofade product in Japan, with any funding to be dependent on entering into a definitive agreement. Up to 70% of EPI Health’s gross eligible receivables will be funded under the new $15.0 million factoring facility.

Bay View will help EPI Health by supplying quick cash flow related to its select customer base and potential future expansion. Along with collaborating with the commercial team at EPI Health and the corporate team at Novan, it will also assist EPI Health’s ongoing operations and expansion.
