VapoTherm (NYSE:VAPO) yesterday priced a stock offering worth up to $51.8 million for the maskless, noninvasive ventilation device it’s developing.
Exeter, N.H.-based VapoTherm said it plans to float 3.1 million shares at $14.50 apiece for gross proceeds of $45.0 million. The offering also includes an underwriters option on another 465,750 shares, which would add $6.8 million to the take if exercised in full. The flotation is slated to close August 6, the company said.
VapoTherm’s Hi-VNI device is designed to deliver high-velocity, heated, humidified and oxygenated air to treat patients with pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and heart failure.
