Auris Medical Holding, a biotech developing treatments for inner ear disorders, announced terms for its IPO on Monday. The Zug, Switzerland-based company plans to raise $76 million by offering 6.9 million shares at a price range of $10 to $12. At the midpoint of the proposed range, Auris would command a fully diluted market value of $285 million.
