<Melbourne, Australia – 2 February 2023> – CurveBeam AI, Limited, a company providing market leading point-of-care diagnostic weight bearing CT (WBCT) imaging solutions incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning AI (DLAI), is pleased to announce it has completed an oversubscribed A$25m pre-IPO Private Placement.

The Private Placement opened with a target of A$15m, but due to strong demand from high-quality long-term investors the offer was increased by A$10m.

The Placement gained the support of numerous highly regarded institutional investors and family offices including Tenmile (Tattarang’s health technology investment business), Firetrail Investments, Ilwella, Karst Peak Capital, Acorn Capital, SG Hiscock and Frazis Capital Partners.

In addition, CurveBeam AI’s board and management were participants in the raise, with CEO Greg Brown investing a further A$1m into the round, bringing his total cash invested to date to approximately A$5m.

“We are extremely encouraged by the interest from the investors we spoke with and who supported this round,” said Mr Brown. “It’s a big vote of confidence in the merger we completed late in 2022 as well as the vision we have for the targeted SaaS-based business moving forward, leveraging the installed base of weight bearing CT scanners.”

“I want to thank the existing shareholders for their continued support as well as welcoming our new investors in this raising. The additional funds raised in this round will enable the business to support our US distribution partner, with the roll out of our HiRise CT product throughout US medical practices and hospitals. We are well positioned to aggressively pursue our growth opportunities and move toward a public listing in the coming months.”

CurveBeam AI continues to target an initial public offering (IPO) and listing the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in 2023.
