Eden Prairie, Minn., and Sydney-based medical device company Sunshine Heart (ASX:SHC) is looking to raise funds in a $25.5 million equity funding round, according to document filed with the SEC earlier this month.
Sunshine Heart reported that it had raised $1.5 million so far from 1 unnamed investor, as of May 8, 2013. The date of 1st sale was listed as January 15, 2013.
Last month the company announced that it had closed a public offering of nearly 2.9 million shares of its common stock, the net proceeds of which came to about $14 million. The company had said it planned to use the proceeds from the sale for "general corporate purposes," including its clinical trials and product development activities.
Sunshine Heart in August 2012 won FDA investigational device exemption approval for the C-Pulse blood pump, its stock jumping nearly 11% in 1 day. Investors had responded similarly to the company’s CE Mark approval in the European Union less than a month earlier, when shares grew 14% on the news.
SHC shares have had a tougher time since then. The stock’s prices dropped from about 5¢ per share on July 25, 2012, when the company announced its CE Mark win, to 4¢ on Aug. 6, 2012, when the company announced its conditional FDA win, to eventual suspension from the Australian Stock Exchange. SHC was removed from listing at the end of the day on April 29, 2013, when shares closed at 2¢ apiece.
