• Enables continued execution of innovation and commercial initiatives
• Non-dilutive to shareholders
• Long term lock-up agreement on exercised warrants
• Represents necessary first step on path to relist on NASDAQ

ST. LOUIS, March 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stereotaxis, Inc. (OTCQX:STXS), the global leader in innovative robotic technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, today announced that it has raised $10.0 million in a non-dilutive financing through the early exercise of previously outstanding warrants.

“We are grateful for the continued support and enthusiasm of our shareholders. The additional capital from these warrant exercises, in combination with our already debt-free balance sheet and more prudent management of operating expenses, places Stereotaxis in the most stable financial position it has enjoyed in many years,” said David Fischel, Chairman and CEO. “This capital enables us to advance on a broad range of strategic initiatives that we expect will deliver meaningful innovation and improved commercial performance. I am pleased we were able to raise capital without any dilution to shareholders by inducing warrant exercises more than three-and-a-half years before their term. The warrant exercise and amendments also represent a necessary first step on our path towards relisting on NASDAQ by removing the warrant liability from our balance sheet.”

Stereotaxis has entered into an agreement to amend the terms of all warrants issued in September 2016. The full Amended and Restated Form of Warrants is available in a Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission concurrently with this press release. Changes to the warrant language include a brief restricted exercise period during which the warrant exercise price was temporarily reduced to encourage early exercise, as well as the elimination of obligations the Company would have had to warrant holders in certain situations that resulted in the warrants being accounted for as a liability on the balance sheet. During the restricted exercise period, Stereotaxis received exercise notices for 35,791,927 warrants. Warrant holders who exercised their warrants as part of the inducement offering are subject to a long-term lock-up agreement whereby they are restricted from selling any common shares received from the warrant exercise for a period of 18 months. The financing included the full participation of DAFNA Capital Management, LLC and Stereotaxis Directors Mr. Joe Kiani, Dr. Arun Menawat and Mr. Fred Middleton, among other investors.
