In a recent 13G filing with the US SEC, Jeffrey Jay and David Kroin‘s Great Point Partners reported the acquisition of 2.05 million shares of Ignyta Inc. (NASDAQ:RXDX), which account for 4.94% percent of the total amount of shares, and represent a new addition to the Great Point Partners’ portfolio. Investors usually file Schedule 13G or 13D when their ownership exceeds 5% of class and in its latest filing, Great Point added that on April 29, its ownership was above 5%, but due to the exercise of an underwriter’s option to purchase shares, the stake accounted for less than 5% of Ignyta’s common stock.
