MedMira announces significant debt reduction and additional growth capital
15 Dezember 2021 - 2:00AM
Today, MedMira Inc. (MedMira) (TSXV: MIR) announces a financial
package of over $5.23 million to support the Company’s FY2022
corporate strategy by its largest shareholder and related parties.
As part of the deal, MedMira receives a cash injection of $1.67
million and a reduction of $3.56 million of the Company’s current
liabilities in exchange for equity.
MedMira’s FY2022 corporate strategy focuses on
achieving regulatory approvals for its main products and to build a
strong foundation for the Company’s financial stability and
profitability. The cash injection contributes to the
commercialisation efforts of the REVEAL® G4 CLIA-waived,
REVEALCOVID-19® and other product lines. The debt reduction
component of this financial agreement supports the Company’s aim to
strengthen its financial position by decreasing its overall
liabilities and financial expenses.
“While certain processes take unfortunately
longer than we had anticipated, we have been working on a number of
existing and promising opportunities such as our G4 CLIA* product
for the USA or other products destined for either or all three
major markets. The FY2022 strategy is built around these
opportunities with a clear focus on the financial stability and
future profitability of MedMira. Therefore, we are delighted to
have been able to negotiate and agree on a financial package which
will benefit the Company and all our stakeholders,” said Hermes
Chan, CEO of MedMira Inc. “The significant reduction of over 30% in
debt supports our continuous drive to become a more solid business
partner and present a more attractive investment opportunity.”
MedMira receives $1,665,691.48 cash and converts
$3,564,435.92 debt and in exchange will issue a total of 36,069,844
equity units at $0.145 per unit which is subject to a four month
hold period. In addition, MedMira Holding AG receives 11,000,000
warrants at an exercise price of $0.150 exercisable within 6
months. Any additional accrued interest or other costs will be
waived in favour of MedMira Inc. This transaction is subject to
TSX.V regulations and approval.
Additional Corporate Update:
In November, the Company has successfully
completed its latest FDA inspection of the Company’s biological
medical device products. In addition, the Company announces that it
has completed the MDSAP audit and shall receive the MDSAP
certification in early December 2021.
MedMira will provide a regulatory update on its
COVID-19 product line prior to the year end; in the event of any
material changes, these will be provided before that date.
Furthermore, MedMira will provide within this month further
corporate updates in terms of its board structure.
* MedMira’s REVEAL G4 HIV test for point of care
(POC) finger stick whole blood test was FDA-approved previously,
and the CLIA Waiver will allow MedMira to expand into significantly
larger new channels that are closest to patient care. These
channels include physician-office-lab (POL) facilities, clinics,
CDC mobile testing facilities and other community healthcare
providers.
The U.S. Congress passed the Clinical Laboratory
Improvement Amendments (CLIA) in 1988 to establish standards for
all laboratory testing and amended it in 2008 to establish more
stringent guidelines for in-vitro diagnostics. CLIA
standards require that only accurate and easy-to-use tests are
performed in the physician's office. The FDA determines whether a
device is CLIA-waived based on extensive evaluations conducted in a
CLIA-waived environment by intended users such as physicians,
nurses and medical assistants.
