• Security Purchase Plan to be offered to existing holders of CDIs at same issue price, capped at A$1 Million

Osprey Medical, Inc. (ASX:OSP) (Osprey or Company) today announces that it has received commitments from sophisticated and institutional investors to subscribe for 100 Million CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) (representing 50 Million shares of Common Stock) at A$0.28 per CDI to raise approximately A$28 Million (Placement).

The Placement will be completed in two tranches with Tranche 1 consisting of approximately 38.5 Million CDIs (representing approximately 19.3 Million shares of Common Stock) to be issued within Osprey’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and its 10% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A. Tranche 2 will consist of approximately 61.5 Million CDIs (representing approximately 30.8 Million shares of Common Stock) to be issued subject to stockholder approval at a special meeting of stockholders (Special Meeting) to be convened by the Company on or about Tuesday, 30 August 2016.

The funds raised from the Placement will be primarily used by the Company to:

• expand commercialisation of the DyeVertTM System;
• continue research and development of the product portfolio, including DyeVertTM Plus;
• ongoing clinical evaluations for scientific presentation and publication; and
• provide expansion capital to accelerate growth.

Brandon Capital Partners, a 16.1% CDI holder in the Company (pre-Placement), has committed A$10 Million to the Placement (to be invested in Tranche 2).

Mike McCormick, President and CEO of Osprey, commented: “We are delighted with the oversubscribed placement. It reflects a strong endorsement from the investment community and places Osprey in a very strong position to aggressively expand its sales and marketing team in the US.”

“Our commercialisation efforts in the US have resulted in strong sales traction to date with 7 quarters of consecutive growth in sales and samples. Our original sales territory, San Antonio Texas, was profitable in June 2016 with other territories following a similar sales trajectory.”

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited and Bell Potter Securities Limited acted as the Joint Lead Managers to the Placement. Vesparum Capital is acting as financial advisor to Osprey.

The CDIs under the Placement and Security Purchase Plan (described below) will be issued on the same terms as, and will rank equally with, the existing CDIs of Osprey.
