Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

SILVER SPRING, Md., Dec. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aziyo Biologics, Inc. (the “Company”), a commercial-stage regenerative medicine company focused on creating the next generation of differentiated products and improving outcomes in patients undergoing surgery, today announced the closing of the previously announced private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing. The Company received aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $14.0 million, before deducting offering expenses. The PIPE financing was led by a fund affiliated with Birchview Capital, with participation from existing investors including funds affiliated with Deerfield Management Company and HighCape Capital.

“We were pleased to see the support from Birchview Capital and our existing investors,” said Ron Lloyd, the Company’s President and CEO. “These proceeds will allow us to further scale our commercial organization, generate clinical data through the HEAL and De Novo studies and help with certain development costs ahead of the launch of CanGaroo RM, our next generation envelope product with antibiotics.”

Matthew Strobeck of Birchview Capital commented, “We are pleased to be able to participate in this important financing for Aziyo. We believe that this capital will support and enhance the Company’s regenerative medicine growth opportunities, including products such as the CanGaroo Envelope and the SimpliDerm acellular dermal matrix.”

The PIPE investors purchased an aggregate of 2,122,637 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and an aggregate of 1,179,244 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (which are convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of Class A common stock), in each case, at a price of $4.24 per share. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the securities acquired by the investors in the private placement.

The offer and sale of the foregoing securities were made in a transaction not involving a public offering and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or applicable state securities laws, and have been sold in a private placement pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act. The securities issued in the private placement may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities, nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state. Any offering of the securities under the resale registration statement will only be by means of a prospectus.
