Loughborough, UK, Jan. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nemaura Medical Inc. ("Nemaura Medical" or the "Company"), developer of a daily wear non-invasive glucose sensor, and digital healthcare programs, is providing a crucial update regarding recent decisions that will impact Nemaura Medical's listing status on The Nasdaq Capital Market and our broader strategic direction.
Background:
After thorough analysis, Nemaura Medical's Board of Directors and management team have made the strategic decision to accept Nasdaq's determination to delist Nemaura Medical and move to the OTC Markets. This decision arises from a careful consideration of several factors, including challenges outside of our control that have led to a significant attrition of the share price. In light of these circumstances, maintaining our Nasdaq listing would necessitate a substantial dilution of approximately 90%, a move we believe would not serve the best interests of our valued shareholders.
Benefits of the OTC Markets:
The transition to the OTC Markets will provide operational flexibility, reduced compliance costs, and the ability to focus on long-term growth without the immediate pressures associated with maintaining a Nasdaq listing.
Strategic Partnerships:
Committed to creating shareholder value, we are actively pursuing strategic partnerships critical to driving Nemaura Medical's growth. We believe these partnerships will play a key role in securing the necessary funding to propel innovation, expand market presence, and enhance our overall competitiveness.
Shareholder Role in Our Future Success:
We understand that this decision may raise questions and concerns. We want to assure shareholders that we remain committed to open and transparent communication. We value shareholder trust and support and are dedicated to keeping shareholders informed throughout this transition.
As we navigate this new phase, regular updates on our progress, strategic partnerships, and any material developments impacting shareholders will be provided. Additionally, in the near-term, we will continue to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K with the SEC. Please feel free to reach out to our Investor Relations team via email (IR@nemauramedical.com) with any questions or if further clarification is needed.
Thank you for your continued trust and confidence in Nemaura Medical. Together, we look forward to shaping a successful future.
About Nemaura Medical, Inc.
Nemaura Medical, Inc. is a medical technology company developing and wearable diagnostic devices. The company is currently commercializing sugarBEAT® and proBEAT. sugarBEAT®, a CE mark approved Class IIb medical device, is a non-invasive and flexible continuous glucose monitor (CGM) providing actionable insights derived from real time glucose measurements and daily glucose trend data, which may help people with diabetes and pre-diabetes to better manage, reverse, and prevent the onset of diabetes. Nemaura Medical has submitted a proposal for a Modular PMA (Premarket Approval Application) application for sugarBEAT® to the U.S. FDA, for its generation II, 24-hour sensor. proBEAT is a non-regulated version of sugarBEAT which combines non-invasive glucose data processed using artificial intelligence and a digital healthcare subscription service as a general wellness product as part of its BEAT®diabetes program.
Additionally, Nemaura Medical launched a beta trial of Miboko, a metabolic health and well-being program using a non-invasive glucose sensor along with an AI mobile application that helps a user understand how certain foods and lifestyle habits can impact one's overall metabolic health and well-being. Nemaura Medical believes that up to half the population could benefit from a sensor and program that monitors metabolic health and well-being.
The Company sits at the intersection of the global Type 2 diabetes market that is expected to reach nearly $59 billion by 2025, the $50+ billion pre-diabetic market, and the wearable health-tech sector for weight loss and wellness applications that is estimated to reach $60 billion by 2023.
