MYOMO LAUNCHES INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING VIA JOBS ACT REGULATION A+ WITH SIGHTS SET ON HISTORIC NYSE LISTING

Everyday Investors Can Now Buy Stock in Pioneering Wearable Medical Robotics Company

Cambridge, Mass. (March 15, 2017) ​– Myomo, Inc., a commercial stage medical robotics company, today announced a Regulation A+ initial public offering that allows any investor the opportunity to invest in the Company’s vision for expanded mobility for those suffering from neurological disorders and upper limb paralysis. Myomo’s non-invasive technology, exclusively licensed from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, restores a patient’s ability to use their partially paralyzed or weakened arms and hands again so that they can return to work, live independently and reduce their cost of care.

 

Myomo is seeking to become the first company to launch a Regulation A+ IPO with listing on the New York Stock Exchange MKT (NYSE MKT). TriPoint Global Equities, LLC, working with its online division BANQ® (www.banq.co), will act as the lead managing selling agent and bookrunner for the offering. Myomo intends to use the proceeds from the offering to fund sales and marketing, product development, repayment of debt, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

 

“We are very excited to share our vision of restoring upper limb mobility to millions of Americans and others worldwide with a broad set of individual investors that now have the opportunity to invest in our Company, alongside accredited investors and institutions, to acquire shares at the initial offering price,” said Paul R. Gudonis, CEO of Myomo. “While a traditional public offering is generally reserved for large institutions and the Wall Street elite to invest at this stage, we are taking advantage of new SEC regulations to level the playing field for all investors to participate concurrently in our IPO.”

 

“I am thrilled that Myomo is planning to become the first company to ever bring a Regulation A+ offering to the NYSE MKT,” said Mark Elenowitz, CEO of TriPoint. “It has been 84 years since the Securities Act of 1933 was enacted, but with the Title IV of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, Myomo leads us into exciting new territory where Main Street meets Wall Street.”

Executive Remarks from Myomo CEO Paul R. Gudonis

Myomo Allows Patients to Regain Essential Mobility

Myomo’s core technology was originally developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in collaboration with medical experts affiliated with Harvard Medical School. In 2006, the Company was spun out from MIT and became the exclusive licensee of two patents owned by MIT that are behind the myoelectric technology. Since then, Myomo has launched three generations of its technology and expanded its patent portfolio. The latest generation MyoPro® custom-fabricated orthosis is specified for each patient and easily donned by the patient to perform everyday functional tasks at home or at work.

 

The MyoPro is a myoelectric arm orthosis designed to support a weak arm. It can enable individuals to self-initiate and control movements of a partially paralyzed or weakened arm and hand using their own muscle signals. When the user tries to bend their arm, sensors in the MyoPro brace detect the weak muscle signal, which activates the motor to move the arm in the desired direction. The user is completely controlling their own arm and hand; the brace amplifies their weak muscle signal to help bend and move their arm. With the orthosis, a paralyzed individual, such as one who has suffered a brachial plexus injury, stroke or other neuromuscular disorder, can perform activities of daily living including feeding themselves, carrying objects, and doing household tasks.

 

Due to the large number of strokes, spinal cord injuries, and other neurological conditions which occur each year, the potential market opportunity worldwide may consist of millions of individuals and is growing each year.
