SUWANEE, GA, June 10, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) via NEWMEDIAWIRE SANUWAVE Health, Inc.(OTCQB: SNWV)today announced that it has entered into an exclusive, non-binding letter of intent to acquire Celularitys UltraMIST Ultrasound Healing Therapy asset as well as exclusive partnership rights for Celularitys wound care biologic products. Celularity is a privately held, clinical-stage cell therapeutics company delivering transformative allogeneic cellular therapies, engineered from the postpartum human placenta, in cancer, infectious disease, and degenerative disease. SANUWAVE will conduct an investor teleconference at 9:00 a.m. EDT today to discuss how the contemplated acquisition is expected to broaden its wound care portfolio and enhance its financial profile.

UltraMISTand the Celularity wound care biologic products, Biovance and Interyl, are excellent complements to our dermaPACE System, said Kevin Richardson, SANUWAVE Chief Executive Officer. The contemplated acquisition would bolster our advance wound care portfolio and support our growth strategy to offer comprehensive advanced wound care solutions to improve clinical outcomes across the care pathway. The UltraMIST device is already established in over 900 wound care clinics and SANUWAVE will leverage their sales team to accelerate the penetration of dermaPACE into those facilities.

We are excited about the prospect to bring Celularitys wound care technologies and 25 dedicated wound care professionals to our team, Mr. Richardson continued. Together, we will apply shockwave and ultrasound science to bring differentiated offerings to key wound care solutions worldwide.

The transaction is expected to close in July 2020. The funding for the acquisition will consist of a mix of funded term debt and equity. Existing SANUWAVE shareholders, directors and officers have committed over $5 million at $0.25 per share to assist in completing the transaction.

SANUWAVE has engaged William Blair for investment banking services to arrange, negotiate and assist in the placement of debt capital for the proposed acquisition. William Blair is in advanced discussions with lenders for the debt capital.

The contemplated acquisition is expected to be a transformative event for SANUWAVE and to represent a strategically and financially compelling growth opportunity for the Company. The contemplated transaction would broaden SANUWAVEs addressable market and combines two highly complementary energy transfer technologies with two biologic skin substitute products to create a platform of scale with an end-to-end product offering in the advanced wound care market. Furthermore, it would uniquely position SANUWAVE to address the entire advanced wound care patient pathway from the initial stages of treatment to closure. The treatment combination of UltraMIST and the dermaPACE System would create a significant opportunity to demonstrate improved patient outcomes over the current standard of care, initially for diabetic foot ulcers and across all wound indications in the future.
