BioSig Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: BSGM), a medical device company developing a proprietary biomedical signal processing platform designed to address an unmet technology need for the $4.6 billion electrophysiology (EP) marketplace, today announced that the Company closed a private placement with proceeds of $4,789,510. Combined with the closing of our February 2018 placement, the Company has raised $6,289,510 in 2018.
The Company issued 3,193,004 common shares at a price of $1.50 per share and a half warrant with a 3-year expiration at a cash exercise price of $1.75.
BioSig placed this transaction largely with existing shareholders while welcoming a number of new long-term accredited investors. This was the first financing completed without registration rights, further demonstrating appetite for longer-term investment in the Company.
“Support from long-term shareholders is the key to sustaining innovation. It allows us to focus on the upcoming milestones as we progress towards targeted commercial launch,” commented Kenneth L. Londoner, Chairman and CEO of BioSig Technologies, Inc. “This raise also allows us to commence our uplisting activities to a U.S. based national trading exchange such as the Nasdaq or NYSE stock markets – a major milestone for 2018.”
