KYTHERA Biopharmaceuticals Sets IPO Pricing Range

Calabasas-based KYTHERA Biopharmaceuticals, a venture-backed developer of aesthetic medicine products, has set its IPO pricing range, saying earlier this week that it is expectings its IPO price to be between $14.00 and $16.00 per share. KYTHERA is looking to list on the NASDAQ Global Market as KYTH. Kythera is venture backed by Versant Ventures, ARCH Ventures, Prospect Venture Partners, JAFCO, Fidelity, and others. KYTHERA is offering up 4M shares of its common stock in the offering.
