US-based Imricor Medical Systems (ASX:IMR) has joined the line-up of ASX hopefuls.
The company has launched an IPO and concurrent US private placement offering CHESS Depository interests (CDIs) priced at 83c each to raise between $12m and $13m.
CDIs are a proxy for trading foreign shares on the ASX.
Imricor’s goal is to be the first company in the world to bring commercially viable and safe MRI-compatible products to the cardiac catheter ablation market.
Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy (similar to microwave heat) to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats.
This helps restore the heart’s regular rhythm.
Imricor is in the final stages of securing regulatory approval to sell its products, including the Vision-MR Ablation Catheter, in Europe.
The company also expects to obtain regulatory approval to market its products in Australia within 12 to 24 months after gaining European approval.
Imricor’s IPO closes on August 26, with listing pencilled in for September 5.
Tartana Resources (ASX:TNA), meanwhile, has extended its IPO until August 14, with listing now scheduled for August 30.
The company was formerly Riverside Energy, a UK-based coal explorer. But following a $40.4m cash injection from private equity firm EMR Capital, Tartana de-merged the coal project into private British company West Cumbria Mining.
Now it’s looking to tap Australian investors to pursue its new goal of becoming a “significant copper-zinc company”.
