CAESAREA, Israel, Aug. 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp.
(NASDAQ: DRIO), a leading global digital health Company with mobile
health and big data solutions, announced today that it has closed
on concurrent private placement offerings with domestic and
non-U.S. investors for the sale of shares of the Company's common
stock and shares of the Company's newly designated Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock in concurrent private placement
offerings. Current shareholders accounted for 58% of the securities
sold in the offerings. Investors in the offering included existing
investors, as well as new investors including SC Fundamental Value
Fund, L.P. and Pegasus Capital II, L.P.
As a part of these private placement transactions, which totals
$5 million in the aggregate before
expenses and placement agent fees, the Company issued 483,333
shares of common stock at a price per share of $1.80 and 2,307,654 shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock at a price per share of $1.80. The Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible into shares of the Company's common stock at a 1:1
ratio and provides for a 6% dividend payable upon the conversion of
the preferred shares. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock
will not be entitled to convert such preferred stock into shares of
the Company's common stock until the Company obtains stockholder
approval for such issuance. The Company has agreed to file a
registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common
stock sold in the offering, the shares of common stock underlying
the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and the shares of common
stock issuable upon the payment of the dividend, within 60 days of
closing.
The private placement was managed by the Company with the
assistance of Aegis Capital Corp., which acted as the placement
agent for a portion of the offerings.
Erez Raphael, Chairman and CEO of
DarioHealth, commented, "We are very excited with our continued
revenue growth trajectory and are confident that our recent Android
clearance by the FDA will enable us to accelerate our growth. This
additional capital, mainly from existing shareholders and a few
long-term fundamental investors that have been monitoring our
progress for a few quarters, gives us the extra runway to execute
on our strategy to ramp users and reduce our cash burn through the
end of 2018. We appreciate the continued support of our existing
shareholders and the confidence and trust from our new
shareholders."
