LONE TREE, Colo., January 5, 2015 — Zynex (OTCQB: ZYXI), an innovative medical technology company specializing in the manufacture and sale of non-invasive medical devices for pain management, stroke rehabilitation, neurological diagnostics, and compound pharmacy, announced today the following operational updates for shareholders:
An agreement was reached with our senior lender to extend the termination date of the Company’s credit facility to March 31, 2015, subject to the terms of a forbearance agreement. In addition, the Company’s compound pharmacy, Pharmazy, obtained licensing in North Carolina bringing the current total of licenses to 41 states. Finally, Zynex has begun discussions with the FDA regarding the application process for its Blood Volume Monitor.
Thomas Sandgaard, CEO of Zynex, stated, “We are pleased with the progress we have made in repositioning our businesses during 2014, particularly the growth of our Pharmazy brand, and the stabilization of our TENS business. The new agreement with our lender to extend the loan termination date provides us the opportunity to continue building our business while we pursue additional capital. We would like to acknowledge Triumph Healthcare Finance, our lender, for their continued patience and support as we work towards a mutually beneficial resolution.”
Sandgaard continued, “We are most pleased, however, with our progress achieved in testing the Blood Volume Monitor. The technology has been developed to the point that we are confident enough to begin the FDA application process. We have held conference calls with the FDA to discuss the most effective way to apply for approval, and will update investors accordingly during the first half of 2015.”
