TEL AVIV, Israel, April 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — InspireMD, Inc. (NYSE American: NSPR, NSPR.WS, NSPR.WSB), developer of the CGuard™ Embolic Prevention System (EPS) for the prevention of stroke caused by the treatment of Carotid Artery Disease (CAD), today provided an update of recent corporate developments.

  • Shareholders approved a 1:15 reverse stock split, reducing the number of outstanding shares from 118 million to 7.9 million shares, which will take effect following the close of trading on April 26, 2021
  • Today, the Company submitted its application to join the Nasdaq Capital Market, which the Company views as more attractive to a broader range of investors than its current listing

InspireMD CEO Marvin Slosman commented, “The fundamentals of our business remain sound and consistent and, as previously noted, our execution against our milestones continues to progress well. Following our previously announced oversubscribed capital raise of $20.7M we are securely positioned to conduct our C-Guardian FDA clinical trial while maintaining sufficient operating capital to meet our commercial expansion and product development goals, while establishing CGuard EPS as the most advanced carotid stent system in the market. Our business model, superior technology platform harnessed by our proprietary MicroNet embolic protection system and timing of the growth in carotid stenting have laid the foundation necessary for CGuard EPS to become a market leader in the prevention of stroke caused by carotid artery disease. We believe that moving to the Nasdaq Capital Market is a strategically sound approach that places us in the company of our peers and allows for improved visibility in the market. InspireMD is fundamentally a stronger company today than ever before, and I am proud of the extraordinary efforts of our expanding team in creating an exciting future for our company.”
