Prospectus Supplement

(To Prospectus dated March 12, 2019)

 

Up to $50,000,000

Common Stock

 

 

 

 

We have entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Equity Distribution Agreement”) with Piper Jaffray & Co. (“Piper Jaffray”) as our sales agent, relating to shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million from time to time through Piper Jaffray. 

 

Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ZYXI.” On October 25, 2019, the last reported sale price of our common stock was $9.88 per share.

 

Sales of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made in sales deemed to be in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on Nasdaq or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. Piper Jaffray is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of our common stock, but will act as a sales agent using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, on mutually agreed terms between Piper Jaffray and us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

The compensation to Piper Jaffray for sales of common stock sold pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement will be 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares of common stock sold thereunder. In connection with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, Piper Jaffray will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of Piper Jaffray will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to Piper Jaffray with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The net proceeds we receive from any sales under this prospectus supplement will be used as described under “Use of Proceeds” in this prospectus supplement.

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including the documents that we incorporate by reference herein and therein, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements include those that express plans, anticipation, intent, contingency, goals, targets or future development and/or otherwise are not statements of historical fact. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and projections about future events and they are subject to risks and uncertainties known and unknown that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements.

 

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology, such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “estimates,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “should,” “could” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Accordingly, these statements involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

 

You should read this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents that we reference herein and therein and have filed as exhibits to the registration statement, of which this prospectus supplement is part, completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus is accurate as of the date on the front cover of this prospectus supplement. Because the risk factors referred to above, as well as the risk factors referred to on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement and page 5 of the accompanying prospectus, and incorporated herein and therein by reference, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as may be required under applicable securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We qualify all of the information presented in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and particularly our forward-looking statements, by these cautionary statements.

Business Overview

 

Corporate Background

 

Thomas Sandgaard founded two medical device companies, Dan Med Inc. (“DMI”) in October 1996 and Stroke Recovery Systems Inc. (“SRSI”) in February 1998, both Colorado corporations. DMI was merged into SRSI in October 2003 and renamed Zynex Medical Inc. On December 3, 2003, Fox River Holdings Inc., a publicly traded company incorporated in Nevada, changed its name to Zynex Medical Holdings Inc. and subsequently completed the acquisition of Zynex Medical Inc. on February 11, 2004. Fox River Holdings Inc. was originally founded on December 26, 1991 under the name Life Medical Technologies and between 1995 and 2003, changed its corporate name and business several times, as is further detailed in the Company's December 31, 2004 10-KSB filed with the SEC on April 15, 2005.On June 30, 2008, Zynex Medical Holdings, Inc. changed its name to Zynex, Inc.

 

The Company is the parent company of, and conducts business within six subsidiaries: Zynex Medical, Inc. (“ZMI”), a Colorado corporation, Zynex Neurodiagnostics, Inc.(“ZND”), a Colorado corporation, Zynex Monitoring Solutions, Inc. (“ZMS”), a Colorado corporation, Zynex Billing and Consulting, LLC (“ZBC”), a Colorado limited liability company, Zynex Europe (Zynex Europe ApS) (“ZEU”), a Danish corporation, and Pharmazy, Inc. (“Pharmazy”), which was incorporated under the laws of Colorado in June 2015 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ZMI.

 

Overview

 

We operate in one primary business segment, Electrotherapy and Pain Management Products. The Company’s primary subsidiary is ZMI through which the Company conducts most of its operations. One other subsidiary, ZEU, generated minimal revenues during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 from international sales and marketing. ZMS has developed a blood volume monitoring device which is in the process of approval by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the United States of America and European Union (“EU”) Certificate European (“CE”), Marking. CE Marking is a certification that a product meets the standards established by the 28 nations of the EU and qualifies for sale in the EU and 4-nation European Free Trade Association. As a result, ZMS has achieved no revenues to date. Our inactive subsidiaries include ZND, ZBC, and Pharmazy. The Company’s compounding pharmacy operated as a division of ZMI dba as Pharmazy through January 2016.

 

Zynex Medical, Inc. (ZMI): 

 

ZMI designs, manufactures and markets medical devices designed to treat chronic and acute pain, as well as activate and exercise muscles for rehabilitative purposes with electrical stimulation. ZMI devices are intended for pain management to reduce reliance on medications and are designed to provide rehabilitation and increased mobility through the utilization of non-invasive muscle stimulation, electromyography technology, interferential current (“IFC”), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (“NMES”) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (“TENS”). All our medical devices are intended to be patient friendly and designed for home use. The ZMI devices are small, portable, battery operated and include an electrical pulse generator which is connected to the body via electrodes. The products are cost effective when compared to traditional physical therapy, and often result in better mobility, less pain and increased potential for a patient to return to work earlier than with traditional therapies alone. All of our medical devices are marketed in the U.S. and follow FDA regulations and approval.  Our products require a physician’s prescription before they can be dispensed in the U.S. We consider the physician’s prescription as an “order”, and it is on this basis that we provide the product to the patient and either bill the patient directly or the patient’s private or government insurer for payment. ZMI’s primary product is the NexWave® device.  The NexWave is marketed to physicians and therapists by our field sales representatives.   The NexWave requires consumable supplies, such as electrodes and batteries, which are shipped to patients on a recurring monthly basis, as needed.  

 

  S-3  

 

 

ZMI also designs, manufactures and markets the NeuroMove product. The NeuroMove contains electromyography and electric stimulation technology that is primarily used for stroke, spinal cord and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation (“SCI”), by reaching parts of the brain to re-connect with muscles, also known as neuroplasticity.  The NeuroMove product is primarily marketed to medical clinics. Zynex did not have material sales of this product in 2017 or 2018 or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Zynex Monitoring Solutions (ZMS):

 

ZMS was formed in 2011 to develop and market medical devices for non-invasive cardiac monitoring. The blood volume monitor is a non-invasive medical device for monitoring central blood volume that would be used in operating and recovery rooms to detect blood loss during surgery and internal bleeding during recovery. This device has been subjected to multiple clinical studies, which are being utilized for collecting data to further validate the algorithm used to determine changes in central blood volume, and there are plans to conduct future, additional clinical studies. We have submitted a 510(k) application to the FDA and are responding to their questions. There is no guarantee when or if the product will be cleared for marketing by the FDA. Concurrent to our FDA application, we are pursuing EU CE Marking.

 

The blood volume monitor has been tested in several International Review Board approved studies and was used in several blood donation settings where hundreds of subjects have donated half a liter of blood with strong correlation to the index on the device. We have built a number of commercial devices in pilot-production and continue to refine the algorithms for the Blood Volume Index. In the fourth quarter of 2018, a U.S. utility patent was obtained for this unique application, and we believe this product could serve a currently unmet need in the market for safer surgeries and safer monitoring of patients during recovery. ZMS did not produce any revenue for the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2017 or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

 

Zynex International (Zynex Europe) (ZEU):

 

ZEU was formed in 2012 to further progress our international expansion. ZEU is currently conducting business and focused on sales and marketing our products within the international marketplace, upon receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. ZEU did not produce significant revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

RISK FACTORS

 

Our business is influenced by many factors that are difficult to predict and that involve uncertainties that may materially affect our actual operating results, cash flows and financial condition. Before making an investment decision in our securities, you should carefully consider the specific factors set forth below and those discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in the accompanying prospectus and in our periodic reports filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference herein and therein (including the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2019) together with all of the other information appearing in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus or incorporated by reference herein or therein in light of your particular investment objectives and financial circumstances. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those currently viewed by us to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect us.

 

Risks Relating to this Offering and our Common Stock

 

Our share price has been and may continue to be volatile and could decline substantially.

 

The market price of our common stock has been and may continue to be volatile. Many factors may cause the market price for our common stock to decline, including but not limited to:

 

  shortfalls in revenues, cash flows or continued losses from operations;
     
  delays in development or roll-out of any of our products;
     
 

announcements by one or more competitors of new product acquisitions or technological innovations; and

     
  unfavorable outcomes from litigation.

 

In addition, the stock market experiences extreme fluctuations in price and volume that particularly affect the market price of shares of companies such as ours. These price and volume fluctuations are often unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the affected companies. Because of this volatility, we may fail to meet the expectations of our stockholders or of securities analysts, and our stock price could decline as a result. Declines in our stock price for any reason, as well as broad-based market fluctuations or fluctuations related to our financial results or other developments, may adversely affect your ability to sell your shares at a price equal to or above the price at which you purchased them. Decreases in the price of our common stock may also lead to de-listing of our common stock from Nasdaq.

 

In addition, future sales by existing stockholders, warrant holders receiving shares upon the exercise of warrants, or any new stockholders receiving our shares in any financing transaction may lower the price of our common stock, which could result in losses to our stockholders. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market, or the possibility of such sales occurring, could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock or our future ability to raise capital through an offering of equity securities

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, as further described in the section of this prospectus supplement entitled “Use of Proceeds.” Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that you do not agree with or that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial results, operating results and/or cash flow and could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

 

  S-6  

 

 

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock that you purchase.

 

The offering price per share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our common stock outstanding prior to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 5,060,728 shares of our common stock are sold during the term of the Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray at an assumed offering price of $9.88 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on October 25, 2019, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $50.0 million, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, you would experience immediate dilution of $8.17 per share, representing the difference between the assumed offering price and our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2019 after giving effect to this offering. The exercise of outstanding stock options and vesting of other stock awards may result in further dilution of your investment. See the section entitled “Dilution” appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement for a more detailed illustration of the dilution you would incur if you participate in this offering.

 

The actual number of shares we will issue under the Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

 

Subject to certain limitations in the Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver placement notices to Piper Jaffray at any time throughout the term of the Equity Distribution Agreement. The number of shares that are sold by Piper Jaffray after delivering a placement notice will fluctuate based on the market price of the common stock during the sales period and limits we set with Piper Jaffray at such time.

 

Additional financing or future equity issuances may result in future dilution to our stockholders.

 

We expect that we will need to raise additional funds in the future to finance internal growth, to make acquisitions and for other reasons. Any required additional financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, you may experience significant dilution of your ownership interest and the newly issued securities may have rights senior to those of the holders of our common stock. The price per share at which we sell additional securities in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. Alternatively, if we raise additional funds by obtaining loans from third parties, the terms of those financing arrangements may include negative covenants or other restrictions on our business that could impair our operational flexibility and would also require us to fund additional interest expense. If adequate additional financing is not available when required or is not available on acceptable terms, we may be unable to successfully execute our business plan.

 

Because we do not intend to pay future dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will benefit from an investment in our stock only if it appreciates in value.

 

In 2018, our Board of Directors declared a special one-time dividend of $0.07 per share of common stock which was paid in January 2019. The decision to pay dividends in the future will depend on general business conditions, the impact of such payment on our financial condition and other factors our Board of Directors may consider to be relevant.   If we elect to pay future dividends on shares of our common stock, this could reduce our cash reserves to levels that may be inadequate to fund expansions to our business plan or unanticipated contingent liabilities. We currently intend to retain all future earnings, if any, for use in the operations and expansion of the business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any additional cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the declaration and payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on factors our Board of Directors deems relevant, including among others, our results of operations, financial condition and cash requirements, business prospects, and the terms of any of our financing arrangements. Accordingly, realization of a gain on stockholders’ investments will depend on the appreciation of the price of our common stock. There is no guarantee that our stock will appreciate in value.

 

If securities and/or industry analysts fail to continue publishing research about our business, if they change their recommendations adversely or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. In addition, it is likely that in some future period our operating results will be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, or if our results of operations do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.

 

  S-7  

 

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We may issue and sell shares of our common stock having aggregate gross proceeds of up to $50,000,000 from time to time under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to close this offering, the actual total offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. The amount of proceeds from this offering will depend upon the number of shares of our common stock sold and the market price at which they are sold. There can be no assurance that we will be able to sell any shares under or fully utilize the Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray as a source of financing.

 

We currently intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from this offering for working capital and general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire or invest in complementary businesses, products and technologies. Although we have no specific agreements, commitments or understandings with respect to any acquisition, we evaluate acquisition opportunities and engage in related discussions with other companies from time to time. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds, if any, from this offering. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of any such proceeds. Pending the use of the net proceeds, if any, from this offering as described above, we may invest the net proceeds in investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments.

 

  S-8  

 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

Our Board of Directors declared a one-time special cash dividend of $0.07 per share of common stock during the fourth quarter of 2018 which was payable in January 2019. There can be no guarantee that we will continue to pay dividends in the future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant.

 

  S-9  

 

 

DILUTION

 

Our net tangible book value of our common stock as of September 30, 2019 was approximately $16.4 million, or approximately $0.50 per share, based upon 32,533,597 shares outstanding as of such date. Net tangible book value per share is equal to our total tangible assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2019. After giving effect to the sale of our common stock during the term of the Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million at an assumed offering price of $9.88 per share, the last reported sale price of our common stock on Nasdaq on October 25, 2019, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2019 would have been approximately $64.8 million, or approximately $1.71 per share of common stock. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.21 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $8.17 per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis:

 

             
Assumed public offering price per share           $ 9.88  
Net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2019   $ 0.50          
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to this offering   $ 1.21          
As adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering           $ 1.71  
                 
Dilution per share to new investors in this offering           $ 8.17  

 

The shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray are being sold from time to time at various prices. An increase of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $9.88 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million during the term of the Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray is sold at that price, would increase our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $1.74 per share and would increase the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $9.14 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. A decrease of $1.00 per share in the price at which the shares are sold from the assumed offering price of $9.88 per share shown in the table above, assuming all of our common stock in the aggregate amount of $50.0 million during the term of the Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray is sold at that price, would decrease our as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the offering to $1.70 per share and would decrease the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering to $7.18 per share, after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us. This as adjusted information is supplied for illustrative purposes only and will adjust based on the actual price to the public, the actual number of shares offered and sold, and other terms of the offering determined at the time shares of our common stock are sold pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

 

The number of shares of our common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 32,533,597 shares of our common stock outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and excludes:

 

· 2,126,663 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options under our equity incentive plans at a weighted average exercise price of $2.12 per share with 3,680,990 shares remaining available for future grant under such plans; and

 

· 100,000 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants with a weighted average exercise price of $2.42 per share.

 

Our option holders and warrant holders may exercise the above-referenced options and warrants in the future or we may make future grants under the above-referenced plans. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities due to market conditions or strategic considerations, even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that any of these options or warrants are exercised, new options or shares of our common stock are issued under the above-referenced plans, or we issue additional shares of our common stock or other equity securities in the future, there will be further dilution to investors purchasing in this offering.

 

  S-10  

 

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We have entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement with Piper Jaffray as our sales agent under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross offering price of up to $50.0 million from time to time. Piper Jaffray will use commercially reasonable efforts to sell on our behalf all of the shares of our common stock requested to be sold by us, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Equity Distribution Agreement. We may instruct Piper Jaffray not to sell our common stock if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by us in any instruction. We or Piper Jaffray may suspend the offering of our common stock upon proper notice and subject to other conditions, as further described in the Equity Distribution Agreement. A copy of the Equity Distribution Agreement has been filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on the date of this prospectus supplement and is incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part.

 

Piper Jaffray will provide written confirmation to us following the close of trading on Nasdaq each day in which our common stock is sold under the Equity Distribution Agreement. Each such confirmation will include the number of shares of common stock sold on such day and the net proceeds to us in connection with the sales of common stock.

 

We will pay Piper Jaffray commissions for its services in acting as agent and/or principal in the sale of common stock. Piper Jaffray will be entitled to compensation of 3.0% of the gross sales price of all common stock sold through it as agent under the Equity Distribution Agreement. We estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation payable to Piper Jaffray under the terms of the Equity Distribution Agreement, will be approximately $100,000. We have also agreed to reimburse Piper Jaffray for the out-of-pocket reasonable fees and disbursements of its legal counsel and for FINRA related expenses, in an amount not to exceed $50,000.

 

Settlement for sales of common stock will occur on the second business day following the date on which any sales are made, or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and Piper Jaffray in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement.

 

We will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through Piper Jaffray, as sales agent, under the Equity Distribution Agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to Piper Jaffray in connection with the sales of common stock.

 

Piper Jaffray and its affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking, commercial banking, fiduciary and advisory services for us from time to time for which they may receive customary fees and expenses. Piper Jaffray and its affiliates may, from time to time, engage in other transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business.

 

In connection with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, Piper Jaffray may, and will with respect to sales effected in an “at-the-market” equity offering, be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of Piper Jaffray may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to indemnify Piper Jaffray against specified liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that Piper Jaffray may be required to make because of those liabilities.

 

The offering of shares of our common stock pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement will terminate upon the earlier of (1) the sale of all common stock subject to the Equity Distribution Agreement or (2) termination of the Equity Distribution Agreement. The Equity Distribution Agreement may be terminated by Piper Jaffray or us at any time by giving advance written notice to the other party, and by Piper Jaffray at any time in certain circumstances, including any suspension or limitation on the trading of our common stock on Nasdaq, as further described in the Equity Distribution Agreement.

Overview

 

We operate in one primary business segment, Electrotherapy and Pain Management Products. The Company’s primary subsidiary is ZMI through which the Company conducts most of its operations. One other subsidiary, ZEU, generated minimal revenues during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 from international sales and marketing. ZMS has developed a blood volume monitoring device which is in the process of approval by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in the United States of America and European Union (“EU”) Certificate European (“CE”) Marking. CE Marking is a certification that a product meets the standards established by the 28 nations of the EU and qualifies for sale in the EU and 4-nation European Free Trade Association. As a result, ZMS has achieved no revenues to date. Our inactive subsidiaries include ZND, ZBC, and Pharmazy. The Company’s compounding pharmacy operated as a division of ZMI dba as Pharmazy through January 2016.

 

Zynex Medical, Inc. (ZMI): ZMI designs, manufactures and markets medical devices designed to treat chronic and acute pain, as well as activate and exercise muscles for rehabilitative purposes with electrical stimulation. ZMI devices are intended for pain management to reduce reliance on medications and are designed to provide rehabilitation and increased mobility through the utilization of non-invasive muscle stimulation, electromyography technology, interferential current (“IFC”), neuromuscular electrical stimulation (“NMES”) and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (“TENS”). All our medical devices are intended to be patient friendly and designed for home use. The ZMI devices are small, portable, battery operated and include an electrical pulse generator which is connected to the body via electrodes. The products are cost effective when compared to traditional physical therapy, and often result in better mobility, less pain and increased potential for a patient to return to work earlier than with traditional therapies alone. All of our medical devices are marketed in the U.S. and follow FDA regulations and approval.  Our products require a physician’s prescription before they can be dispensed in the U.S. We consider the physician’s prescription as an “order”, and it is on this basis that we provide the product to the patient and either bill the patient directly or the patient’s private or government insurer for payment. ZMI’s primary product is the NexWave® device.  The NexWave is marketed to physicians and therapists by our field sales representatives.   The NexWave requires consumable supplies, such as electrodes and batteries, which are shipped to patients on a recurring monthly basis, as needed.

ZMI also designs, manufactures and markets the NeuroMove product. The NeuroMove contains electromyography and electric stimulation technology that is primarily used for stroke, spinal cord and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation (“SCI”), by reaching parts of the brain to re-connect with muscles, also known as neuroplasticity.  The NeuroMove product is primarily marketed to medical clinics. Zynex did not have material sales of this product in 2017 or 2018.

 

Zynex Monitoring Solutions (ZMS):

 

ZMS was formed in 2011 to develop and market medical devices for non-invasive cardiac monitoring. The blood volume monitor is a non-invasive medical device for monitoring central blood volume that would be used in operating and recovery rooms to detect blood loss during surgery and internal bleeding during recovery. This device has been subjected to multiple clinical studies, which are being utilized for collecting data to further validate the algorithm used to determine changes in central blood volume, and there are plans to conduct future, additional clinical studies. We have submitted a 510(k) application to the FDA and are responding to their questions. There is no guarantee when or if the product will be cleared for marketing by the FDA. Concurrent to our FDA application, we are pursuing EU CE Marking.

 

The blood volume monitor has been tested in several International Review Board approved studies and was used in several blood donation settings where hundreds of subjects have donated half a liter of blood with strong correlation to the index on the device. We have built a number of commercial devices in pilot-production and continue to refine the algorithms for the Blood Volume Index. In the fourth quarter of 2018 a U.S. utility patent was obtained for this unique application, and we believe this product could serve a currently unmet need in the market for safer surgeries and safer monitoring of patients during recovery. ZMS did not produce any revenue for the years ending December, 31, 2018 and 2017.

 

Zynex International (Zynex Europe) (ZEU):

 

ZEU was formed in 2012 to further progress our international expansion. ZEU is currently conducting business and focused on sales and marketing our products within the international marketplace, upon receipt of necessary regulatory approvals. ZEU did not produce significant revenue for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Product Uses

 

Pain Management and Control

 

Standard electrotherapy is a clinically proven and medically accepted alternative to manage acute and chronic pain. Electrical stimulation has been shown to reduce most types of local pain, such as tennis elbow, neck or lower back pain, arthritis, and others. The devices used to accomplish this are commonly described as the TENS family of devices. Electrotherapy is not known to have any negative side effects, a significant advantage over most pain relief medications. The benefits of electrotherapy can include: pain relief, increased blood flow, reduced edema, prevention of venous thrombosis, increased range-of-motion, prevention of muscle disuse atrophy, and reduced urinary incontinence.

 

Electrotherapy introduces an electrical current applied through surface electrodes. The electrical current “distorts” a pain signal on its way to the central nervous system and the brain, thus reducing the pain. Additionally, by applying higher levels of electricity, muscles contract and such contraction is believed to assist in the benefits mentioned above.

 

Numerous clinical studies have been published over several decades showing the effectiveness of IFC and TENS for pain relief. Zynex’s primary TENS device, the NexWave has received FDA 510(k) clearance. The NexWave is a digital IFC, TENS and NMES device that delivers pain-alleviating electrotherapy.

 

Stroke and Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation

 

Our proprietary NeuroMove product is a Class II medical device that has been cleared by the FDA for stroke and SCI rehabilitation. Stroke and SCI usually affect a survivor’s mobility, functionality, speech, and memory, and the NeuroMove is designed to help the survivor regain movement and functionality.

 

The NeuroMove product utilizes the relatively new science of “neuroplasticity” the process by which healthy parts of the brain learn to compensate and assume functions previously carried out by the damaged areas. To accomplish this task, the extraordinarily sensitive NeuroMove technology monitors muscle activity and detects brain signals that indicate, even without any visible movement, the brain’s effort to move a specific muscle or area of the body. Once the effort is detected, the NeuroMove induces actual movement through electrical stimulation, thus providing effective feedback to initiate relearning in the healthy part of the brain.

 

We believe the NeuroMove product is unique because its built-in microprocessor can recognize low-level attempts by muscles to contract and then “reward” such detection with electrical stimulation. We do not believe there are similar products in the stroke rehabilitation market. Some generic devices are being offered in international markets; however, we do not believe these products provide similar results with respect to stroke rehabilitation. When conscientiously using the NeuroMove product for three to twelve months, studies show that the majority of NeuroMove patients can re-establish the connection between the brain and impaired muscle and thus regain movement and functionality.  When movement and functionality are restored, the patient may experience increased mobility, increased productivity, an improved outlook, and a reduced risk of accidents, and may be able to engage in activities they were precluded from before using the NeuroMove. Sales of NeuroMove have not generated material revenue for years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

We are authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share.

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by the stockholders. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends ratably, when, as and if declared by the board of directors, out of funds legally available. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up the holders of common stock are entitled to share equally and ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. The holders of shares of common stock, as such, have no conversion, preemptive, or other subscription rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to the common stock.

  

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK

 

We are authorized to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001. The shares of preferred stock may be issued in series and shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuance of such stock adopted from time to time by the board of directors. The board of directors is expressly vested with the authority to determine and fix in the resolution or resolutions providing for the issuances of preferred stock the voting powers, designations, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each such series to the full extent now or hereafter permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada.  Issuances of preferred stock could dilute the voting power of common stockholders, adversely affect the voting power of common stockholders, adversely affect the likelihood that common stockholders will receive dividend payments on liquidation, and have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in shareholder and management control.

 

5 

 

 

Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes could, under some circumstances, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus (i) to or through underwriters or dealers, (ii) directly to purchasers, including our affiliates, (iii) through agents, or (iv) through a combination of any these methods. The securities may be distributed at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to the prevailing market prices, or negotiated prices. The prospectus supplement will include the following information:

 

the terms of the offering;
   
the names of any underwriters or agents;
   
the name or names of any managing underwriter or underwriters;
   
the purchase price of the securities;

any initial public offering price;
   
any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers;
   
any commissions paid to agents; and
   
any securities exchange or market on which the securities may be listed.

 

Sale Through Underwriters or Dealers

 

Only underwriters named in the prospectus supplement are underwriters of the securities offered by the prospectus supplement.

 

If underwriters are used in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account, including through underwriting, purchase, security lending or repurchase agreements with us. The underwriters may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions. Underwriters may sell the securities in order to facilitate transactions in any of our other securities (described in this prospectus or otherwise), including other public or private transactions and short sales. Underwriters may offer securities to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more firms acting as underwriters. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to certain conditions, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if they purchase any of them. The underwriters may change from time to time any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers.

If dealers are used in the sale of securities offered through this prospectus, we will sell the securities to them as principals. They may then resell those securities to the public at varying prices determined by the dealers at the time of resale. The prospectus supplement will include the names of the dealers and the terms of the transaction.

 

Direct Sales and Sales Through Agents

 

We may sell the securities offered through this prospectus directly. In this case, no underwriters or agents would be involved. Such securities may also be sold through agents designated from time to time. The prospectus supplement will name any agent involved in the offer or sale of the offered securities and will describe any commissions payable to the agent. Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, any agent will agree to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit purchases for the period of its appointment.

 

We may sell the securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any sale of those securities. The terms of any such sales will be described in the prospectus supplement.

  

Delayed Delivery Contracts

 

If the prospectus supplement indicates, we may authorize agents, underwriters or dealers to solicit offers from certain types of institutions to purchase securities at the public offering price under delayed delivery contracts. These contracts would provide for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts would be subject only to those conditions described in the prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the commission payable for solicitation of those contracts.

 

Continuous Offering Program

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may enter into a continuous offering program equity distribution agreement with a broker-dealer, also known as an At-the-Market offering, or “ATM”, under which we may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time through a broker-dealer as our sales agent. If we enter into such a program, sales of the shares of common stock, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NASDAQ Capital Market at market prices, block transactions and such other transactions as agreed upon by us and the broker-dealer. Under the terms of such a program, we also may sell shares of common stock to the broker-dealer, as principal for its own account at a price agreed upon at the time of sale. If we sell shares of common stock to such broker-dealer as principal, we will enter into a separate terms agreement with such broker-dealer, and we will describe this agreement in a separate prospectus supplement or pricing supplement.

 

Market Making, Stabilization and Other Transactions

 

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, other than our common stock all securities we offer under this prospectus will be a new issue and will have no established trading market. We may elect to list offered securities on an exchange or in the over-the-counter market. Any underwriters that we use in the sale of offered securities may make a market in such securities, but may discontinue such market making at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the securities will have a liquid trading market.

 

Any underwriter may also engage in stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Rule 104 under the Securities Exchange Act. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security in the open market for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions.

 

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions. Stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would be in the absence of the transactions. The underwriters may, if they commence these transactions, discontinue them at any time.
