Following SMAIO's Initial Public Offering (IPO), which includes an investment agreement with NuVasive, a global leader in technological innovations for the spine, it intends to expand the company's business development, particularly in the United States, and to accelerate the execution of its research and development projects in order to strengthen its position in the spinal surgery market, and to pave the way for industrial collaborations to ultimately move towards active robotics and the progressive automation of spinal surgery.
SMAIO was listed through the admission to trading on 6 April 2022 of the 5,228,651 shares making up its equity and of 1,614,195 new shares issued under a Global Offering[1].
The admission and issue price of SMAIO shares was set at €5.54 per share. Market capitalisation was €29 million on the day of listing. The IPO raised €8.9 million altogether.
Philippe Roussouly, Chief Executive Officer of SMAIO, said: “Our IPO is a major milestone for SMAIO, which aims to establish a new paradigm in spine surgery. SMAIO's differentiated approach, with cutting-edge use of data to treat spinal pathologies and innovative in the field of surgical planning, allows for tailor-made surgery and an optimal, sustainable patient balance. Positioned in a fast-growing market, driven by the need for efficient and reliable solutions, SMAIO's IPO, with the support of its partner NuVasive, aims to accelerate its commercial development, particularly in the United States, the world's largest spine market, while exploiting the immense potential of its database and customised surgical technologies, which will eventually pave the way for active robotics and the progressive automation of spinal surgery.”
