SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eargo, Inc. (“Eargo” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EAR), a medical device company on a mission to improve the quality of life for people with hearing loss, announced today the closing and final results of its rights offering, which expired at 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on November 17, 2022.

Pursuant to the terms of the rights offering, 57,745,050 shares of the Company’s common stock were purchased pursuant to the exercise of basic subscription rights and 828,970 shares of common stock were purchased under the over-subscription privilege, in each case at the subscription price of $0.50, for total gross proceeds from subscriptions in the rights offering of approximately $29.3 million.

In addition, in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement dated June 24, 2022 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and its subsidiaries, noteholders affiliated with Patient Square Capital (the “Noteholders”) and Drivetrain Agency Services, LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, an aggregate of approximately $105.5 million of senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) held by the Noteholders converted into 316,425,980 shares of the Company’s common stock. In the aggregate, the Company issued 375,000,000 new shares of common stock in the rights offering and conversion of the Notes.

Together with the gross proceeds from subscriptions in the rights offering, the Company raised total net proceeds of approximately $32.3 million pursuant to the rights offering, including an additional investment of approximately $5.5 million by Patient Square Capital and after deducting approximately $2.5 million in offering expenses related thereto. The Company expects to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

Investors who have participated in the rights offering should expect to see the shares of common stock issued to them in uncertificated book-entry form.
