Gross proceeds of approximately $2.4 million from sale of PAVmed securities priced at-the-market and Veris common stock priced at a $35 million pre-money valuation
NEW YORK, Feb. 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PAVmed Inc. (Nasdaq: PAVM) ('PAVmed' or the 'Company') a diversified commercial-stage medical technology company, operating in the medical device, diagnostics, and digital health sectors, and its majority-owned subsidiary, Veris Health Inc, ('Veris') today announced that the companies have completed a $2.37 million private placement financing as detailed in Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025. Accredited investors purchased PAVmed securities priced at-the-market and shares of Veris common stock reflecting a pre-money Veris valuation of approximately $35 million. The financing supplements a recently secured $1.8 million non-dilutive two-year NIH grant and will fund development of Veris' implantable physiological monitor.
'This financing marks an important milestone which will allow Veris Health to advance its commercial strategy, including regulatory clearance and launch of its implantable physiological monitor,' said Lishan Aklog, M.D., Chairman and CEO of PAVmed and Executive Chairman of Veris Health. 'We believe the Veris pre-money valuation reflects strong investor confidence in Veris' long-term commercial potential as it seeks to enhance personalized cancer care through the early detection of complications and reduced unplanned hospitalizations. We expect that, once cleared and launched, the implantable monitor will significantly enhance this commercial potential.'
About Veris Health
Veris Health Inc. is a digital health company whose lead product, the Veris Cancer Care Platform, is a comprehensive digital care platform with remote physiological data collection, symptom reporting, telehealth capability, and electronic health record integration. The platform seeks to offer enhanced personalized cancer care through the early detection of complications, reduced unplanned hospitalizations, the provision of longitudinal trends of physiological and clinical data, data-driven risk management tools, and increased patient and provider satisfaction.
Cancer patients enrolled on the platform receive a VerisBox™ of Veris-branded connected health care devices which transmit physiologic data to the cloud-based clinician portal via an embedded cellular connection. A complementary patient portal enables patients to report symptoms, as well as general health and quality of life parameters, to their cancer care team through the Veris patient smartphone app. The app also allows patients to invite caretakers and family members to follow along on their cancer care journey. Veris is also developing an implantable physiological monitor, designed to be implanted in combination with a vascular access port, which will interface with the Veris Cancer Care Platform. The implantable monitor will further enhance the clinical and commercial value of the platform by providing remote physiologic data independent of patient compliance.
