“This important capital increase enables us to seize the opportunities ahead by accelerating our product development efforts, expanding our global footprint, and adding to our pre-clinical capabilities to start these relationships well before the clinical trial stage,” added Burnett.
ClearPoint shares rose as much as 19% premarket. However, they are now trading just 3.73% higher than the previous day’s close at $14.88.
