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).
