TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- TITAN Medical Inc. (“Titan” or the “Company”) (TSX:TMD) (Nasdaq:TMDI), a medical device company focused on the design, development and commercialization of a robotic surgical system for application in minimally invasive surgery (“MIS”), is pleased to announce today that it has entered into definitive agreements with a single healthcare-focused institutional investor that provide for the purchase and sale of 18,000,000 common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) (or Common Shares equivalents) at a per share purchase price of US$1.00 per Common Share and 9,000,000 Common Share purchase warrants (each, a “Warrant”), in a registered direct offering priced at-the-market under Nasdaq rules, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $18.0 million. Each whole Warrant is exercisable to purchase one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $1.00 per Common Share for a period of four years following the date of closing of the offering.

H.C. Wainwright & Co. is acting as the exclusive placement agent for the offering.

The closing of the sale of the securities is expected to occur on or about June 10, 2020, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions including required approvals from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”). Titan intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes including: resuming the development of its single-port robotic surgical system, instruments and accessories; funding working capital (including the reduction of outstanding payables); and capital expenditures. The receipt of the proceeds will satisfy Milestone 2 of the previously announced Medtronic Development and License Agreement, which pursuant to that agreement shall be reached when Titan successfully raises at least $18M of capital between the Effective Date and four (4) months from the Development Start Date, and provides sufficient documentation of the same to Medtronic.

The Common Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are being offered and sold in the registered direct offering by Titan pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement on Form F-3 (Registration No. 333-232898), including a base prospectus, previously filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 2, 2019. The offering of the securities will be made only by means of a prospectus supplement that forms a part of the registration statement to be dated on or about June 9, 2020. The prospectus supplement will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC’s website located at http://www.sec.gov. Electronic copies of the prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus may also be obtained, when available, by contacting H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC at 430 Park Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10022, by phone at 646-975-6996 or e-mail at placements@hcwco.com.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction, and no securities will be offered or sold to residents of Canada.
