PainChek raises $5.5M for US market expansion
PainChek (ASX:PCK) entered into binding agreements to raise $5.5 million through the issuance of unsecured convertible notes.
The financing initiative is tailored to bolster the company’s general working capital and support its ongoing sales expansion across North America.
The capital injection arrives at a critical juncture for the digital health firm, following its landmark Sabra agreement which spans 350 US aged-care facilities, alongside newly secured access to remote therapeutic monitoring reimbursement pathways.
The funding round was exclusively supported by a small, select group of PainChek’s existing professional and sophisticated investor-shareholders.
Issued in a single tranche, the convertible notes carry a 12-month maturity period with a face value of $50,000 per note, requiring a minimum subscription of $100,000 per investor.
Noteholders maintain the flexibility to convert their notes into company shares at any time prior to maturity at a fixed conversion price of $0.195, with interest payments distributed monthly in cash.
Furthermore, subject to shareholder approval and successful equity conversion, investors will receive one free attaching option for every two shares issued.
PainChek CEO Philip Daffas expressed strong confidence in the capital raise, noting that the funds provide the essential financial runway to accelerate the company’s North American growth initiatives and broader commercial expansion strategy.
At the time of reporting, PainChek’s share price was $0.14.
