Current shareholders have already committed to subscribing for an
aggregate of at least 15 million euros in the offering due to take
place in late September.
Nyxoah believes the proceeds, together with existing cash and
revenue, will meet its requirements for at least 12 months as it
seeks to commercialise its treatment, initially in certain European
countries.
Nyxoah is developing its neurostimulation therapy Genio and says it
is the first battery-free, minimally invasive and leadless
neurostimulator implant.
Obstructive sleep apnoea affects 936 million people worldwide aged
30 to 69, with 425 million suffering moderate to severe symptoms for
whom treatment would be required, Nyxoah said in a statement.
The company has obtained reimbursement status for patients in
Germany, recently secured approval from the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration to initiate a trial there and expects approval for
use in Australia later this year.

initial public offering in Belgium and placements of shares in the United States
and elsewhere.
