Natus Asset Purchase Agreement: Background
-
Slow sales growth
-
Ongoing cash burn despite cost control
-
Lack of clear timeline to substantial market growth - likely related to outcomes data
-
Merger and acquisition opportunities did not come to fruition
-
OEM arrangements or partnerships involving specific product (e.g. RecogniZe) did not lead to firm proposals
-
Integration of BrainZ into a broader neonatal business was the third strategic goal, in order to achieve the necessary critical mass and capital; Natus Medical is such a business (NASDAQ: BABY).
