Envoy Medical Secures Lending Facility of $10M
Glen Taylor, Committed Investor and Believer in Envoy Medical’s Mission to Help People with Significant Hearing Loss, Provides Significant Additional Funding as the Company Eyes Important Milestones and Seeks to Grow Hearing Implant Market with Breakthrough Device
WHITE BEAR LAKE, Minnesota, August 28, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Envoy Medical®, Inc. (“Envoy Medical”) (NASDAQ: “COCH”), a revolutionary hearing health company focused on fully implanted hearing devices, today announces entry into an additional lending facility with long-time investor, majority shareholder, and billionaire entrepreneur Glen Taylor. The financing allows the Company to draw up to $10 million, of which the Company drew $5 million on the facility at its origination.
“We believe that Envoy Medical is on the cusp of something great that will forever change the hearing implant landscape,” said Envoy Medical CEO Brent Lucas. “This new funding from Glen Taylor allows us to remain focused on building and growing the business without losing momentum. Mr. Taylor’s support gives us the flexibility and security to reach our next milestones securely and intelligently.”
The $10 million lending facility has a five-year term, is unsecured, does not have a conversion feature, and defers interest for the first two years. Funds will be available as needed and bear interest at 8% over the term of the loan. Please see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Envoy Medical today for additional discussion of terms and conditions of the investment.
The Company has previously stated that it intends to seek an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) to start a Pivotal Study of its fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant in the coming months. Should the IDE be granted in a timely manner, first enrollments could be expected by the end of calendar year 2024 or the first part of 2025.
“We know people both inside and outside of the hearing implant industry are excited for us to move forward with the fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant,” continued Lucas. “As we progress, our hope is that we can make the decades old dream of a fully implanted cochlear implant a reality. If we are successful, we anticipate substantial value from realizing that dream for millions of people with severe-to-profound levels of hearing loss.”
In addition to its investigational, fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant, which previously received Breakthrough Designation from the FDA, Envoy Medical also has the only FDA-approved fully implanted active middle ear implant, the Esteem® device.
Concurrently, the Company has worked closely with members of Congress to introduce bills in both the House of Representatives and the Senate to properly re-classify fully implanted active middle ear implants. Should these bills pass and become law, it would provide greater patient access to important hearing implant technologies and encourage more innovation and competition within the hearing implant category.
The investigational fully implanted Acclaim® cochlear implant is expected to have reimbursement once it becomes available, as it is a cochlear implant, and cochlear implants are classified as coverable benefits.
About the Fully Implanted Acclaim® Cochlear Implant
We believe the fully implanted Acclaim Cochlear Implant (“Acclaim CI”) will be a first-of-its-kind fully implanted cochlear implant. Envoy Medical’s fully implanted technology includes a sensor designed to leverage the natural anatomy of the ear instead of a microphone to capture sound.
The Acclaim CI is designed to address severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss that is not adequately addressed by hearing aids. The Acclaim CI is expected to be indicated for adults who have been deemed adequate candidates by a qualified physician.
The Acclaim Cochlear Implant received the Breakthrough Device Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019. We believe the Acclaim CI was the first hearing-focused device to receive Breakthrough Device Designation.
CAUTION The fully implanted Acclaim Cochlear Implant is an investigational device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law to investigational use.
About the Esteem® Fully Implanted Active Middle Ear Implant (FI-AMEI)
The Esteem fully implanted active middle ear implant (FI-AMEI) is the only FDA-approved, fully implanted* hearing device for adults diagnosed with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss allowing for 24/7 hearing capability using the ear’s natural anatomy. The Esteem FI-AMEI hearing implant is invisible and requires no externally worn components and nothing is placed in the ear canal for it to function. Unlike hearing aids, you never put it on or take it off. You can’t lose it. You don’t clean it. The Esteem FI-AMEI hearing implant offers true 24/7 hearing.
*Once activated, the external Esteem FI-AMEI Personal Programmer is not required for daily use.
Important safety information for the Esteem FI-AMEI can be found at: https://www.envoymedical.com/safety-information.
