Eyal Shamir, CEO of IceCure Medical said, “We are excited to complete the offering, which ensures the realization of our strategic plan for continued expansion and growth in our operational activities in the U.S., Europe and Asia. We see the completion of an oversubscribed fundraise in the current market as a vote of confidence by the main shareholder and the investing public in the company and the management’s capability to create long-term value.

The fundraising was participated in by Rosario Capital, Yair Capital Issuing and Finance Ltd., Apax Underwriters and Offerings, offering consultants Yaron Iluz and Naor al-Hai, as well as attorneys Reut Alfia, Oded Har Even and Gal Cohen from the international law firm Sullivan.
The Company recently reported strong preliminary financial results (unaudited or reviewed by the company’s accountants) for the first half of 2020, which ended June 30, 2020. Revenue for the first half was approximately NIS 6.5 million, which is more than three times the revenue reported in the first half of 2019 and 13% higher compared to the full year 2019 revenue of NIS 5.74 million. The significant year-over-year performance reflects the execution of the Company’s business plan. The Company’s cryoablation technology continues to generate interest and demand, and as of June 30, 2020 and the preliminary report date, the backlog was NIS 9.7 million and NIS 9.1 million, respectively. The backlog orders reflect, among other things, the deals and agreements reported by the Company since January 1, 2020., such as those in Thailand, Singapore, Germany, and South Africa.
IceCure’s ProSense™ cryoablation systems are currently benefitting patients suffering from cancerous and benign tumors of the breast, lung, kidney and other organs, globally, with clinical results demonstrating significant success in tumor destruction. The Company’s progress is driven by the accelerating global trend for minimally invasive treatments as they remove the need for expensive operating rooms and medical staff during surgical procedures. The advantages of using IceCure’s Cryoablation Technology include:
- Enables the destruction of tumors, benign and cancerous, in various organs, in a regular clinic in less than an hour.
- Procedure can be performed without the need for general anesthesia or hospitalization.
Additionally, IceCure’s solution can also help institutions free-up overloaded operating rooms, while potentially preventing or reducing the risk of infectious pathogens from medical procedures. These are especially critical in today’s healthcare landscape, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
