• Significant participation from existing shareholders and accredited healthcare investors, which the company believes underscores confidence in its strategy
• Financing supports execution of long-term growth initiatives focused on high-margin, scalable recurring revenues across B2B (Business-to-Business) and pharma channels

NEW YORK, Jan. 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- DarioHealth Corp. (Nasdaq: DRIO) ("Dario" or the "Company"), a prominent leader in the global digital health industry, announced today the successful closing of a $25.6 million private placement of convertible preferred stock, priced in accordance with Nasdaq market rules. The majority of the funds were secured from existing shareholders, with the remainder contributed by a network of leading accredited healthcare investors and executives from the healthcare sector.

The result of this offering is expected to extend Dario's cash runway and bolster its financial position enabling the Company to continue executing its current strategic plan which includes achieving an operational cash flow positive run rate by the end of 2025 while continuing to build high-margin, scalable recurring revenues across B2B and pharma channels. As a result, the Company's proforma cash balance, inclusive of the proceeds from the private placement, is $40.6 million as of the end of the third quarter of 2024. The private placement closed on December 18, 2024, and January 14, 2025.

"Through the end of 2024, we demonstrated the strong execution of our multi-year strategic plan to become a profitable provider of comprehensive chronic care management solutions. Today, we are happy to announce the completion of a major milestone in this strategic plan that we believe can secure our projected operational cash flow positive run rate by the end of 2025. I believe that the ongoing cost optimization efforts following the Twill merger, coupled with steady revenue growth across multiple channels, have set us on a path to success. We are particularly pleased that more than half of the newly issued convertible preferred shares were purchased by our existing shareholders, which we believe is a strong vote of confidence in our strategy and performance. The remaining funds came from prominent accredited healthcare investors that we are thrilled to have onboard as shareholders as well," commented Erez Raphael, Chief Executive Officer of Dario.

"I believe that this financing will empower us to execute on our long-term growth strategy, which is centered on high-margin, scalable recurring revenues across our B2B and pharma channels. I believe that these steps will enable us to maintain our growth trajectory and strengthen our position in the digital health market," Commented Steven Nelson, Chief Commercial Officer of Dario.
