The Company The Company
NeuroPace, Inc., or the Company, was incorporated in the state of Delaware on November 19, 1997. The Company is a medical device company that has developed the RNS System, the only commercially available brain-responsive neuromodulation system designed for treating drug-resistant focal epilepsy by delivering personalized, real-time treatment at the seizure source. The Company began commercializing its products in the United States in 2014.
At-the-Market Equity Offering
In November 2022, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3, or Shelf, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, in relation to the registration of common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or any combination thereof for up to an aggregate of $150.0 million, of which $50.0 million may be issued and sold pursuant to an at-the-market, or ATM, offering program for sales of the Company’s common stock under a sales agreement, or Sales Agreement, with Leerink Partners LLC, or Leerink (formerly SVB Securities LLC). The Company agreed to pay Leerink up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of sales of common stock made through the Sales Agreement. The Company’s common stock would be sold at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale and, as a result, prices may vary. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold 444,555 shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement for gross proceeds of $3.4 million, or $3.2 million after deducting sales commissions and offering expenses. In January 2025, the Company sold 18,590 shares of common stock under the Sales Agreement for gross proceeds of $0.2 million, or $0.2 million after deducting sales commissions and offering expenses. In February 2025, the Company terminated the Sales Agreement and the ATM program. On the date of termination, the Company had $38.3 million remaining under the ATM program.
Follow-On Offering
In February 2025, the Company completed a follow-on offering of 7,475,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, including 975,000 shares from the exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at an offering price of $10.00 per share. The aggregate net proceeds to the Company from the follow-on offering were $69.7 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. The Company used $49.5 million of the net proceeds to repurchase all of the 5,270,845 shares held by its significant stockholder, KCK Ltd., at $9.40 per share. The repurchased shares became authorized but unissued shares.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and has an accumulated deficit of $537.5 million as of March 31, 2025. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company used $7.5 million of cash in its operating activities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $66.3 million. Historically, the Company has funded its operations principally through the sales of its products, issuance of equity securities and debt financing.
The Company’s condensed financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the Company continuing as a going concern for the next 12 months. Management believes that the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will allow the Company to continue its planned operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited interim condensed financial statements.
In connection with the Term Loan described in Note 6, the Company will need to be in compliance with a minimum annual net revenue covenant determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of $70.0 million in the year ending December 31, 2025 and maintain a minimum cash and cash equivalents balance of $5.0 million. If the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to be in compliance with the annual net revenue covenant, the lender may call the debt, which will result in the Company immediately needing additional capital and may raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by global economic conditions and disruptions to, and volatility in, the financial markets in the United States and worldwide. If the Company is unable to raise capital when needed, it will need to delay, limit, reduce or terminate planned commercialization or product development activities in order to reduce costs. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Term Loan.
