MaxCyte Inc - Maryland-based cell and gene therapies firm - Announces GBP40 million subscription via private placement of 5.7 million shares at 700 pence each, a 4.5% premium to the company's mid-market Tuesday closing price. Subscribers include new investors D1 Capital Partners, T Rowe Price, ArrowMark Partners, Baron Capital Group and First Light Asset Management plus existing investors Casdin Capital and Sofinnova Partners.
