Osprey Medical Inc.

The Placement was over-subscribed.

Osprey is also undertaking a fully underwritten, non-renounceable entitlement offer of approximately 25,785,924 new CDIs (representing approximately 12,892,962 new fully paid shares of Common Stock) at the same price to raise approximately A$10.3 million (Entitlement Offer).

The funds raised from the Placement and Entitlement Offer will be primarily used by the Company for:

• expanding US sales force to increase coverage of the US with focus on geographies with a high share of AKI;
• initiating a pilot European sales programme in Germany;
• ongoing support for post approval market trials and physician sponsored trials for scientific presentation and publications;
• continuing research and development of the product portfolio; and
• costs of the offer.

Mike McCormick, President and CEO of Osprey, commented “We are delighted with the oversubscribed Placement, and the introduction of several new shareholders. It reflects a strong endorsement from the investment community for our commercialisation strategy and it places Osprey in a strengthened financial position to fulfil its mission to make heart imaging and treatment procedures safer for patients with poor kidney function.”

Canaccord Genuity (Australia) Limited and Bell Potter Securities Limited acted as the joint lead managers to the Placement and Entitlement Offer. Evans and Partners Pty Ltd acted as co-lead manager. Vesparum Capital is acting in an independent capital markets advisory role for Osprey.

The CDIs under the Placement and Entitlement Offer will be issued on the same terms as, and will rank equally with, the existing CDIs of Osprey.

Placement details

The Placement will be completed in one tranche consisting of 55,464,076 CDIs (representing 27,732,038 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. Accordingly, stockholder approval of the Placement is not required.

The investors under the Placement are sophisticated and professional investors and include certain existing securityholders of Osprey. Osprey’s largest CDI holder, Brandon Capital Partners (including funds that Brandon Capital Partners Pty Ltd and BCP3 Pty Ltd manage), has subscribed for its pro-rata allocation of 13,002,674 CDIs (approximately A$5.2 million).
