Nexstim Plc (NXTMH:HEX, NXTMS:STO), the targeted neuromodulation company developing and marketing pioneering navigated personalised, non-invasive brain stimulation systems for the treatment of Major Depression Disorder (MDD), announces that its Board of Directors is planning for an issue of new ordinary shares in which the current shareholders of the company have the right to subscribe for new shares in proportion to their existing shareholdings in the Company.
To execute this planned rights issue requires that the Company’s Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) authorizes the Board of Directors to decide on the issuance of new ordinary shares as well as the issuance of other special rights entitling to shares. The AGM will be held on March 25, 2019, and the rights issue, upon approval, would take place soon after the AGM. A detailed timeline for the rights issue will be announced at a later date.
Martin Jamieson, Chairman and CEO, Nexstim PLC, commented: “This planned rights issue forms an important part of the funding that we need to deliver the significant potential of our SmartFocusTM TMS technology in both the U.S. and Europe where customer feedback has highlighted a huge and growing need for personalised, non-invasive treatments that can make a real difference in the battle against major depressive disorder.”
