Nemaura Medical Inc. Secures $10 Million Non-Dilutive Credit Facility to Fuel Strategic Growth
Loughborough, UK, Nov. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nemaura Medical Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRD) (“Nemaura Medical” or the “Company”), developer of a daily wear non-invasive glucose sensor, and digital healthcare programs is pleased to announce the execution of a strategic agreement for a $10 million credit facility which is expected to support the Company’s strategic growth plans.
Recognizing the challenges associated with equity sales, particularly in the small-cap landscape on the Nasdaq, Nemaura Medical has proactively pursued a funding strategy that minimizes dilution and, the Company believes, aligns with the best interests of its valued shareholders. This $10 million credit facility, structured to be non-dilutive, empowers the Company to draw down a maximum of $1 million per month, providing a steady and controlled infusion of capital to support Nemaura Medical’s commercialization initiatives.
The decision to opt for a non-dilutive funding source underscores the Company’s commitment to preserving shareholder value in the current market conditions. Dilution has long been a concern for public companies, and the Company believes that this credit facility not only addresses this concern but also positions Nemaura Medical for strategic growth.
About Nemaura Medical, Inc.

Nemaura Medical believes that up to half the population could benefit from a sensor and program that monitors metabolic health and well-being.
The Company sits at the intersection of the global Type 2 diabetes market that is expected to reach nearly $59 billion by 2025, the $50+ billion pre-diabetic market, and the wearable health-tech sector for weight loss and wellness applications that is estimated to reach $60 billion by 2023.
