BOSTON and ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 31, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lucid, Inc. (OTCQB:LCDX), operating as Caliber Imaging & Diagnostics, today announced that members of its Board of Directors invested $16.1 million in the Company through the purchase of its common stock at $0.55 per share. In addition, all $13.5 million of outstanding principal and interest due under the Company’s Notes was converted into shares of the Company’s common stock based on the same price per share.
L. Michael Hone, Chief Executive Officer of Caliber I.D., said, “This recapitalization provides us with the financial stability and resources needed to grow our global footprint and become the worldwide leader in noninvasive, point-of-care imaging technology for the dermatology market. We appreciate the commitment shown by these investors to our technology and the Company.”
The Company also announced that it terminated its registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and suspended its duty to file reports thereunder. As a consequence, the Company will no longer file quarterly, annual or other reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Mr. Hone explained, “In light of the extremely limited trading liquidity of our shares, the high costs of continuing as a public company and the requirements of our investors, and since we have fewer than 300 shareholders, we determined that it was in the best interest of all shareholders for the Company to ‘go dark.’”
Dunn Rush & Co. LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company in connection with the recapitalization.
