Secures New Debt Financing of up to $125M Maturing in 2030 with Plans to Retire $200M in Prior Debt

Reports Unaudited Fourth-Quarter Revenue of $29 million and 2024 Revenue of $113 million

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Outset Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: OM) (“Outset”), a medical technology company pioneering a first-of-its-kind technology to reduce the cost and complexity of dialysis, today announced that it has entered into a definitive securities purchase agreement for a private placement of 843,908 shares of its Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $200.00 per share. Subject to Outset stockholder approval and beneficial ownership limitations, each share of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert to 250 shares of common stock for an aggregate of 210,977,000 shares of common stock. The gross proceeds to Outset from the private placement, before deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by Outset, are expected to be $168.8 million. An additional $3.9 million, for 19,432 shares of Series A Non-Voting Convertible Preferred Stock, will be invested by certain members of the board and management, including Chair and CEO Leslie Trigg, upon shareholder approval.

In addition, Outset has entered into a credit agreement and guaranty with a fund managed by Perceptive Advisors, which will provide a $100 million 5-year term loan at closing and an additional term loan of up to $25 million at the company’s election, in each case, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and in the case of the delayed draw term loan, meeting a specified revenue milestone. The loans will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to one-month term SOFR (subject to a floor of 4%) plus 8%, with maturity in 2030. The loans will be secured by substantially all assets of Outset. At closing, Outset expects to use the proceeds of the initial term loan, together with cash on hand, to repay in full all amounts due under Outset’s existing credit facilities that were set to mature in 2027.

The private placement financing was led by PFM Health Sciences, LP and Perceptive Advisors and includes new and existing investors with participation from funds and accounts advised by T. Rowe Price Investment Management, Inc. as well as institutional investors including Durable Capital Partners LP, healthcare sector specialist funds and multiple other large mutual funds.

“Based on our current projections, the funds from this financing are expected to capitalize the company through cashflow breakeven,” said Ms. Trigg. “We appreciate the strong support from existing and new investors, which now enables the entire Outset team to focus on prosecuting our mission to catalyze permanent and profound change in where, when and how dialysis is delivered.”

Following closing of the financing and repayment of debt, the company expects to have approximately $210 million in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments with $100 million in debt.

Unaudited Fourth Quarter and Year End Results

Outset also today reported unaudited revenue for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Revenue in the fourth quarter totaled $29 million, bringing revenue for 2024 to $113 million, ahead of the company’s prior guidance.

UBS Investment Bank is acting as exclusive placement agent for the private placement. Sidley Austin LLP and Cooley LLP acted as counsel to the company.

The private placement, the Perceptive credit facility and the payoff of the prior credit facilities are, in each case, expected to close on or about January 8, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and, in the case of the investment by certain members of management and of our directors, stockholder approval.
