Cheetah Medical Ltd, an Israeli company made a Form D Filing with the United States Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC) of a $14.5 million round of equity financing, which it has sold as an exempt offering under rule 506 of the SEC’s regulations.
The filing also indicated the sale was part of an intended $24 million total financing round, leaving $9.5 million still to be sold. Earlier on March 15th, 2013 a press release had indicated that $20 million had been sold, so this stands as a correction until possible final partners for the new financing are completely organized.
Separately, the company indicates that the new money was raised from Ascension Health Ventures, MVM Life Science Partners, both in the United States, and from Robert Bosch Venture Capital, the investment arm of Robert Bosch GmbH in Germany. The company had earlier raised $54 million from these investors in prior financing rounds.
