BELGRADE, Mont., Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Xtant Medical Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: XTNT), a global medical technology company focused on surgical solutions for the treatment of spinal disorders, today announced the closing of the first tranche of its previously announced private placement with a select group of accredited investors led by Stavros Vizirgianakis. The Company sold approximately 14.1 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 3.5 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.75 million.
“With the completion of this financing, we are well positioned to accelerate our growth strategy,” said Sean Browne, President and CEO of Xtant Medical. “This investment represents a strong vote of confidence in both our Company and our technology, and we look forward to working together with Stavros, who has a demonstrated track record of success in transforming growth potential into value for investors. Along with the growth capital that this transaction provides, we welcome the strategic assistance Stavros can provide in the biologics and orthopedic spaces as well as his deep relationships with institutional investors and analysts.”
“The combination of Xtant’s outstanding platform for growth and experienced management team positions the Company to realize its significant potential in creating value for investors and patients,” said Mr. Vizirgianakis. “I am very excited to partner with OrbiMed and existing stockholders, as well as with new investors such as Incept, LLC who will help open up new frontiers for Xtant. I expect that the funding provided through this transaction will enable Xtant to rapidly accelerate its growth, and I look forward to working with Sean and his team as they execute their strategic plans.”
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the transaction to support working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The second closing tranche is expected to occur in early October 2022 after the filing and mailing of a definitive information statement to Xtant’s stockholders informing them of the receipt of stockholder approval in favor of the second tranche of the private placement under the continued listing requirements of the NYSE American and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. At the second closing, the investors will purchase approximately 6.2 million shares of common stock and warrants to purchase approximately 1.6 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.0 million. The warrants will be immediately exercisable and expire on the five-year anniversary of the first closing. The gross proceeds to the Company from both tranches of the transaction are expected to be approximately $9.75 million, before deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company.
