DALLAS, March 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Spectral AI, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDAI), an artificial intelligence (AI) company focused on medical diagnostics for faster and more accurate treatment decisions in wound care, today announced that it has entered into a fixed price prepaid advance and standby equity purchase agreement (“SEPA”) with a long-only investor. Total capacity under the SEPA is $30.0 million, consisting of a prepaid advance of $12.5 million, $5.0 million of which was funded today with a fixed conversion price of $3.16. Any additional draws above the prepaid advances are at the sole discretion of the Company.
“We are pleased to announce this equity funding as we pivot to commercialization while continuing our research and development activities,” said Peter M. Carlson, CEO of Spectral AI. “Together with our non-dilutive funding from various U.S. Government agencies, this new equity-linked instrument supports our strategic imperatives. We deployed our first burn device in the U.K. last week and continue to focus on clinical trials in the U.S., accelerating towards the commercialization of the diabetic foot ulcer indication and the burn indication. These are exciting milestones for Spectral AI, and I thank the team for their continued contributions to these key initiatives.”
Key terms of the SEPA and related documents include:
- A prepaid advance in total of $12.5 million, paid as (i) $5.0 million at the initial closing, (ii) $5.0 million upon the effectiveness of the initial Registration Statement to be filed by the Company, and (iii) $2.5 million to be paid 60 days later.

- Following a 45-day grace period, the prepaid advance amortizes over 7 months in the amount of $1.75 million of principal per month plus a 7% payment premium. No amortization is required if the investor converts at the fixed price.
- The fixed conversion price is fixed at 120% of the three-day volume weighted average price as of the last trading day prior to the date of each funding.
