New York – Mintz announces the appointment of Francis (Frank) Earley as Managing Member of its New York office. A seasoned litigator, Frank brings extensive experience handling complex commercial and securities disputes. He succeeds Stephen (Steve) Gulotta, who, after successfully leading the office for 17 years, will now focus full time on his role as Member in the firm’s Corporate & Securities Practice based in New York.

Mintz represented SIMPL Automation, a Massachusetts–based warehouse automation company that develops modular, AI‑powered robotics and automated storage and retrieval systems, in its sale to The Home Depot, the world’s largest home improvement retailer. The transaction enables The Home Depot to accelerate supply chain automation while enhancing speed, efficiency, and delivery capabilities for in-demand products across its distribution network.  

Mintz is advising the placement agents in connection with the $350 million private placement that is expected to close immediately prior to the completion of the merger transaction between Obsidian Therapeutics, Inc. and Galera Therapeutics, Inc.

Mintz advised the placement agent in connection with ImageneBio’s $30 million private placement of pre-funded warrants.

Steven Shparber, Co-chair of Mintz’s Digital Infrastructure Practice, recently spoke with Data Center Knowledge about the growing use of behind-the-meter power by data center operators as they face grid delays and rising AI-driven demand.

Mintz advised the placement agent in connection with SCYNEXIS’ up to $92.2 million private placement. The private placement included upfront gross proceeds of approximately $40.0 million in common stock (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) and accompanying common warrants, and up to an additional $52.2 million in gross proceeds if the common warrants are exercised for cash, subject to stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock.
