https://www.accesswire.com/888642/catheter-precision-inc-announces
FORT MILLS, SC / ACCESSWIRE / July 15, 2024 / Catheter Precision, Inc. (NYSE American:VTAK), a US based innovative medical device company, announced today that its previously announced 1-for-10 reverse stock split of its common stock became effective at 12:01 A.M. Eastern Time, on July 15, 2024. The Company's common stock will continue to be traded on the NYSE American under the symbol "VTAK" and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on July 15, 2024. The new CUSIP number for the Company's common stock following the reverse stock split will be 74933X 609.
Pursuant to the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of the Company's issued common stock will be converted automatically into one issued share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders holding shares through book entry on the Company's records will have their shares automatically adjusted to reflect the 1-for-10 reverse stock split. It is not necessary for stockholders holding shares of the Company's common stock in certificated form to exchange their existing stock certificates for new stock certificates of the Company in connection with the reverse stock split, although stockholders may do so if they wish.
The reverse stock split will affect all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder's percentage interest in the Company's equity, except to the extent that the reverse stock split would result in a stockholder owning a fractional share. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the reverse split. Stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares, will be entitled to receive their pro rata portion of the net proceeds obtained from the aggregation and sale by the exchange agent of the fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split (reduced by any customary brokerage fees, commissions and other expenses).
The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued shares of the Company's common stock from 9,012,518 shares to approximately 901,251 shares. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Company's equity awards and warrants and other convertible securities, as well as the applicable exercise price, to the extent applicable. Stockholders whose shares are held in brokerage accounts should direct any questions concerning the reverse stock split to their broker. All stockholders of record may direct questions to the Company's transfer agent, Equiniti Trust Company, via email at https://equiniti.com/us/ast-access/individuals and select GET HELP or by telephone at (800) 937-5449 or (718) 921-8124.

"While the reverse stock split is primarily designed to help ensure our continued technical compliance with the NYSE American minimum stock price requirement and allow us to lower our Delaware franchise taxes, we also hope to broaden the base of potential investors in Catheter Precision as we strive for greater efficiencies, increased cash flow and profitable growth. The split also has no direct impact on our market capitalization," said David Jenkins, Chief Executive Officer.

FORT MILL, SC / ACCESSWIRE / April 4, 2024 / Catheter Precision, Inc. (NYSE American:VTAK), a leading MedTech company specializing in innovative products for cardiac electrophysiology, including its VIVO and LockeT products, has announced a major expansion in its business development team. The company is bolstering its sales team with experienced industry veterans to drive growth and market penetration.
David Jenkins, Catheter Precision's CEO, commented on the expansion efforts. "This is a group that I have known for almost twenty years. They are top performers from a company which was acquired by a large medical device company a couple years ago. This group led their prior company, with its unique electrophysiology products, to reach over $100 million of sales and then its acquisition for $1.7 billion. I am confident that their efforts will be repeated here at Catheter Precision."
The new expansion of these veteran sales persons includes five hired on and trained in the first quarter, two more slated to start next week, and one more toward the end of April. In addition to these hires, during the first quarter, the company also brought on technical expertise with Madison Spence, most recently from Acutus, and David Pollmeier in Europe, most recently from Galaxy Medical.
"This new group is expected to focus on both product lines, VIVO and LockeT", continued Mr. Jenkins. "Over the last year, we have been primarily working on getting VIVO into key accounts and accumulating clinical data on LockeT. This expansion demonstrates a new effort toward commercialization of both product lines. With a 90% gross margin on both products, we anticipate that the expected increase in revenue will bring about cash flow break even by the end of this calendar year."
Robert Locke, newly hired in the position of Vice President, also commented. "I previously worked with David at EP MedSystems, where we took it from a start up to its acquisition by St. Jude Medical. Those products became well accepted in the market because of the hard-working team put together by David, and those products today are well integrated into the Abbott line of electrophysiology devices. I am excited that we can look forward to the same team effort here at Catheter Precision. I have been on board for just over one month and already I have over ten hospital accounts that either have agreed to order or agreed to try out the new LockeT product. Each of these hospitals performs hundreds of Afib ablations per year. I expect Locket, with its compelling value proposition, to become widely utilized, not just in the US, but worldwide as well, and not just in EP, but in vascular surgery and interventional radiology."
