NEW YORK, HOUSTON and LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Soliton, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOLY) (“Soliton” or the “Company”), a pre-revenue stage medical device company with a novel and proprietary platform technology licensed from The University of Texas on behalf of the MD Anderson Cancer Center (“MD Anderson”), today announced that its shares have commenced trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SOLY”. Soliton closed its Regulation A+ Tier 2 offering (the "Offering") by selling 2,172,591shares of its common stock at the IPO price of $5.00 each, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of $10,862,955, before deducting underwriting commissions and other related expenses. Boustead Securities, LLC (“Boustead”) was the sole underwriter of the Soliton initial public offering (“IPO”), the California-based investment bank’s second Nasdaq IPO of 2019.
“We are thrilled to begin trading on Nasdaq,” said Soliton CEO Chris Capelli. “The closing of Soliton’s IPO marks the beginning of a new chapter for our company and its dedicated investors, both long-term and those that have come on board in this Nasdaq IPO. We will continue to push forward with our proprietary technology for tattoo removal and for cellulite reduction by completing further clinical and preclinical trials before bringing the Soliton’s Rapid Acoustic Pulse (“RAP”) shockwave device to a large addressable market,” Capelli stated.
“Congratulations to Soliton CEO Chris Capelli and the entire Soliton team for a promising trading debut on Nasdaq,” said Boustead’s Head of Equity Capital Markets, Dan McClory. “The successful completion of the first Reg A+ IPO on Nasdaq or the NYSE in over one year by any company is a particularly important milestone, and it says a lot about the resilience and commitment of Soliton, its investors, advisors, and underwriter,” McClory concluded.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the IPO offering primarily to develop and commercialize the RAP device; conduct further clinical trials for new indications; pay license fees and fund research and development; and for general working capital.
Soliton’s patented RAP device uses acoustic shockwaves that, in clinical trials, accelerated the speed of tattoo removal when used in conjunction with lasers, delivering results in as little as 2 to 3 treatments versus the 10 to 12 average with the current standard of care lasers alone. In addition to tattoo removal, Soliton discovered other capabilities of its technology during preclinical testing. Among them, the Company observed that their RAP device may have the potential to improve skin laxity as well as the appearance of cellulite by creating mechanical stress at the cellular level and inducing collagen growth. These clinical and preclinical trials are in early stages and intended as a proof-of-concept and there are no assurances that the trials will have a successful outcome.
