Santa Monica, CA, Aug. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BioSig Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: BSGM), a medical device company developing a proprietary biomedical signal processing platform designed to address an unmet technology need for the $4.6 billion electrophysiology (EP) marketplace, today announced that the Company closed a private placement of $4,281,000.
Combined with the closing of its February 2018 and May 2018 placements, the Company raised approximately $11,000,000 in 2018. Included in the proceeds were approximately one million dollars of cash warrant and stock option exercises. The Company priced unregistered common stock at $2.28, which included a one-quarter cash warrant at $1.50 exercisable for nine months, and a one-quarter cash warrant at $2.74 exercisable for three years. Substantially all of the investment proceeds came from existing shareholders.
The Company believes it has now met its final Nasdaq listing requirement of minimum shareholder equity. The Company submitted its application to Nasdaq in July 2018 and believes that this raise, combined with the advancement of the application process, positions BioSig well for an uplisting in the near term.
“This latest placement has brought us to our strongest financial position since the Company’s foundation in February 2009,” commented Kenneth L. Londoner, Chairman and CEO of BioSig Technologies, Inc. “We have been building a very strong and loyal base of shareholders since going public in October 2014. Our top 25 shareholders control approximately 70% of the common stock of our Company, and we are all aligned for the long-term growth of our business and shareholder value. Our entire team looks forward to our next phase of development – commercialization.”
The Company believes that its capital position allows for commencement of targeted commercialization upon FDA clearance. The Company submitted its FDA 510(k) application in late March 2018.
Laidlaw & Co. (UK) Ltd. in New York participated in the private placement.
