Spectral AI Announces Receipt of $1 Million of Financing for Spectral IP, Inc., its Intellectual Property Subsidiary Focused on the Broader Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem
19 Marzo 2024 - 1:00PM
Spectral AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDAI) (“Spectral AI” or the
“Company”), an artificial intelligence (AI) company
focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate
treatment decisions in wound care, today announced it has received
a $1 million investment from an affiliate of its largest
shareholder into its recently formed subsidiary Spectral IP, Inc.
(“Spectral IP”). The investment is structured as a note payable
with a one-year maturity, an interest rate of 8%, and requiring
earlier prepayment if Spectral IP is spun off to the Company's
shareholders or sold.
Peter M. Carlson, Chief Executive Officer of
Spectral AI, said, "Following our recent announcement that we had
identified additional opportunities for Spectral AI to enhance its
position and add value for its shareholders by developing or
acquiring IP applicable to the broader AI ecosystem, we received a
very attractive proposal to provide financing to Spectral IP from
our largest outside shareholder, who also happens to be a
recognized IP industry-leader. This is an important initiative for
the Company and its shareholders to potentially unlock additional
value and this investment immediately validates this initiative.”
Mr. Carlson continued, "While we recognize the opportunities
created by Spectral IP, management is of the view that any capital
required for this initiative should be funded separately so that
the Company can deploy its capital to pursue our core
operations."
Spectral IP will focus on advancing intellectual
property (IP) in the broader AI ecosystem through acquisitions,
strategic partnerships and collaborations with AI technology
providers, healthcare institutions, and research organizations to
accelerate innovation and expand market reach.
Wensheng Fan, Spectral AI’s Chief Innovation
Strategist, said, “Medical Device companies are not only focusing
on innovation to enhance their patent portfolios but are also
making strategic investments in AI. The integration of
Artificial Intelligence is increasing in the medical device
industry, but still lags other industries in its adoption. We see
tremendous benefits to developing and acquiring IP outside our core
product offering that will protect the developing AI healthcare
ecosystem.”
Spectral AI remains committed to advancing
AI-driven solutions in healthcare, including opportunities and
strategic developments fostered by Spectral IP.
