BTIG and Needham & Company are acting as joint book-running managers for the offering.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering primarily to promote commercialization of DetermaRx, including sales and marketing efforts and by conducting additional clinical studies to support clinical adoption of the test; to complete development of DetermaIO; complete the development and begin commercialization of TheraSure; for development of other future tests in our pipeline, including DetermaCNI, DetermaTx and DetermaMx. The Company also expects to use net proceeds to pay for development costs associated with its activities under the Collaboration Agreement with Life Technologies Corporation ("LTC"), a subsidiary of Thermo Fisher Scientific, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to undertake certain development efforts with LTC and to collaborate with LTC in the commercialization of Thermo Fisher Scientific’s existing Oncomine Comprehensive Assay Plus, and the Company’s DetermaIO assay for use with LTC’s Ion TorrentTM Genexus Integrated Sequencer and LTC’s Ion Torrent Genexus Purification System, in order to obtain in vitro diagnostic regulatory approval of those tests. We may use net proceeds to make certain future milestone and other payments to former shareholders of companies that we have acquired, including Chronix Biomedical, Inc. and Insight Genetics, Inc. if the applicable milestones requiring such payments are met.
