NeuroPace Completes Repurchase of 5.3 Million Shares of Its Common Stock from KCK Ltd.
Mountain View, Calif. February 20, 2025 NeuroPace, Inc. (Nasdaq: NPCE), a medical device company focused on transforming the lives
of people living with epilepsy, today announced it has completed the previously announced plan to repurchase 5,270,845 shares of the Company s common stock from KCK Ltd. The repurchase of these shares allowed for the organized sale by KCK Ltd.
of all remaining shares it held in the Company. NeuroPace funded the repurchase of these shares using a portion of the proceeds from its recent underwritten public offering. NeuroPace also strengthened its balance sheet following the closing of the
public offering, which the Company now anticipates will be sufficient to support its planned operations until achieving cash flow breakeven. Additionally, the Company terminated its current at-the-market (ATM) offering program.
We are pleased by the interest in our recent financing and the
confidence it shows in our mission to transform the lives of people suffering from drug-resistant epilepsy through RNS therapy. We are also excited to have a strong group of investors join
NeuroPace as part of our recent financing, said Joel Becker, Chief Executive Officer of NeuroPace. We would also like to thank KCK Ltd. for their support of NeuroPace over the years.
The remaining proceeds from our recent financing further strengthened our balance sheet and our ability to execute the long-range plan we presented at
our investor day held last month in New York City. Based on this plan, we believe that we have sufficient cash runway to achieve cash flow breakeven, added Mr. Becker.
