Current Operations - Inspira's existing operations in respiratory care and life-support are advancing, with the FDA-cleared INSPIRA™ ART100 system deployed in leading U.S. hospitals [7]. - The company is expected to generate revenue from previously announced purchase orders during 2026 [7]. Financial Aspects - The proposed equity investment of up to $15 million is intended to support ongoing operations and further development of existing platforms, with $12 million specifically allocated for this purpose [8][12]. - The acquisition structure allows Inspira to acquire the liquid biopsy business in exchange for up to 40% of its issued share capital, ensuring economic benefits for current shareholders through the CVR framework [12]. Transaction Timeline - The acquisition and equity investment are expected to close concurrently, pending customary conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals, with a target for execution of definitive agreements within approximately four weeks from January 5, 2026 [12].
