ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
IMPEDIMED COMPLETES A$35 MILLION INSTITUTIONAL PLACEMENT
ImpediMed Limited ( ImpediMed or the Company ) is pleased to announce that it has received firm commitments to raise A$35m (before costs) by the way of institutional placement to support product, data and software enhancements, the development and commercialisation of the renal failure application, and general working capital.
Highlights
-
ImpediMed has received firm commitments from existing and new institutional and sophisticated investors to raise A$35 million at A$0.1525 per share.
-
Funds raised will support product, data and software enhancements, development and commercialisation of renal failure application and general working capital.
-
ImpediMed will also offer a non-underwritten share purchase plan to eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand to raise up to ~A$5 million.
Commenting on the capital raising, ImpediMed Managing Director and CEO, Richard Carreon, said, “We are very encouraged by the level of support investors have shown as we look to capitalise on the significant opportunity with the recently released PREVENT Trial results. Following the completion of the capital raising, we are now in a fully funded position to accelerate sales in Oncology, while still investing in our other key focus areas of Renal Failure and Heart Failure.”
“We thank our existing shareholders for their ongoing support and welcome new shareholders to the register. This is an exciting time for the Company, as we believe the PREVENT Trial results will be practice changing and the continued commercialisation of SOZO will positively impact the lives of so many patients,” he continued.
The capital raising comprised an institutional placement to raise A$35 million ( Placement ) to existing and new institutional and sophisticated investors and a share purchase plan to existing eligible shareholders in Australia and New Zealand to raise up to approximately A$5 million ( SPP ). All shares issued under the Placement and SPP will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares in ImpediMed as at their date of issue.
Placement
The Placement received strong support from existing and new institutional and sophisticated investors. ImpediMed will issue 229.5 million new shares at A$0.1525 per share utilising ImpediMed’s existing placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 (79.8 million shares) and ASX Listing Rule 7.1A (149.7 million shares).

Existing eligible shareholders, being those shareholders that are residents in Australia or New Zealand that held ImpediMed’s shares as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 26 October 2021, will be invited to participate in the SPP at the same issue price as the Placement (A$0.1525 per share).

general working capital that is sufficient for ImpediMed to achieve breakeven, including advance inventory purchases to address growth, current global chip shortages, COVID-19 related supply chain issues and transition to SOZO II;
-
product enhancement of the SOZO II digital health platform, including weight scales and improved electronics for renal and heart failure;
-
data and software enhancements including corporate account development such as electronic health record integration and heart failure programs; and
