Evernorth Holdings has named former Coinbase Asset Management executive Hugo Jeandesboz as its new Chief Investment Officer. The firm also clarified its recent stock issuance, reporting that it distributed 1,078,614 shares of Class A common stock to PIPE Delayed Funding Subscribers.
Why it matters

Evernorth issued 1,078,614 shares at a fixed price of $10.00 per share based on the total subscription amount. This total corrects a prior filing that had erroneously stated 663,510 shares were issued.
