Why is the Impedimed share price frozen?
Right now, the Impedimed share price is undergoing its second trading halt in as many weeks.
The company released its shares from the freezer last Tuesday when it announced the results of a successful trial.
The results were from Imedimed's PIVIOT clinical trial. They showed the company's L-Dex technology could help lower the rate of progression of chronic disease in patients with early detection of cancer-related lymphoedema.
Impressively, the Impedimed share price surged 20% on the trial's results.
So far, the company hasn't stated how it's planning to spend its current capital raising.
However, as of 30 June 2021, Impedimed had around $19.7 million of cash in its wallet and no debt.
Additionally, the last time Impedimed underwent a capital raise was more than 18 months ago.
Then, the company raised around $18.2 million through an entitlement offer. Yet, that was short of its $24.9 million goal.
The raised capital was to fund the commercialisation and reimbursement of the company's lymphoedema application in the United States, the commercialisation of its heart failure application, and the development and commercialisation of a renal failure application.
It would also fund data and software enhancements, clinical trials, and provide general working capital.
The entitlement offer saw institutional investors able to buy 13 new Impedimed shares for every 10 shares already held for 3.75 cents apiece. Participants also got 1 free option for every new share purchased.
The institutional entitlement offer raised around $10 million and saw 266.2 million new shares and an equal amount of new options handed to investors.
The retail component of the entitlement offer boasted the same ratios. It raised around $8.2 million, selling 218.6 million new shares and giving away the same number of new options.
