MACH7 RAISES $20 MILLION VIA PLACEMENT
TO ACCELERATE GROWTH AND STRENGTHEN FINANCIAL POSITION
Melbourne, Australia; 3 December 2019: Mach7 Technologies Limited (“Mach7” or the “Company”) (ASX:M7T), a leader in the global enterprise imaging market, today announced that it has received commitments to raise $20 million via an equity placement to institutional and other sophisticated investors (Placement). The Company received demand well in excess of $20 Million, with the Placement being well supported by existing and new institutional investors and broker retail networks.
Growth Acceleration
The Company will use the funds to accelerate its commercial strategy within the Enterprise Imaging (EI) market, which is valued at ~US$1 billion globally[] . Mach7 has established itself as a recognised leader in this space. In addition to the EI market, Mach7 and its partner Client Outlook have aligned their partnership to now compete in the departmental PACS[] market, which together with enterprise imaging, is valued at ~US$3 billion globally[] .
Mach7’s growth acceleration is expected to come from the acquisition of complementary technology(ies) that would strengthen Mach7’s existing product offering allowing it to compete more broadly across the imaging market - and/or internally via investment into sales, marketing and product development. The Company is actively working on both strategies in parallel.
Importantly, the funds were not raised for working capital purposes. The Company has been cash flow positive (on average) since March 2019 and expects its current business to continue to be cash flow positive for the foreseeable future.
Customer Service & Innovation
The funds raised from the Placement will immediately strengthen the Company’s financial position, providing financial security well into the future. The Company will continue to invest in its technology, ensuring it remains at the forefront of enterprise imaging, and provide a high-quality customer service to its expanding customer base.
Mach7 is currently exhibiting at the Radiological Society of North America’s (RSNA) annual meeting this week. RSNA hosts the world’s premier medical imaging forum, drawing approximately 50,000 attendees annually to McCormick Place in Chicago. Many potential customers use this event to complete final due diligence on products before they purchase.

This Placement solidifies the Company’s financial position to allow us to leverage the great inroads our technology is already making, and to accelerate that growth. I am delighted by the level of support from our Australia investor base.
